I struggle with these questions everyday...

Who do I dislike most? Yarkshire, Lankyshire, Birmingshire, or the host of southern counties

and

Has supporting Derbyshire over all these years made me bitter?

Yorkshire

Everytime

Another year another no show in the 50 over knockout stages

Went again today and I thought we went too hard from the off after being put in thinking we could get another 300 plus

220 was never going to be enough once the wicket had settled down and it was a pity Alex Hughes missed out on his first one day ton finishing 96 not out

Final group match at home v Worcs live on Sky with a 2pm start on Tuesday

Oh i forgot the 20/20

Just noticed Hemmings has been added to the squad for tomorrow v Worcester Rapids.
I hope Viljoen has not suffered another injury.

How he has bowled so far footyman it would be no great loss

[Benno Spire]

Just watching Derbyshire on sky, what poor bowling

[Westbars Spireite]

Declaration bowling currently. Mendis looks to be bowling too slowly and seems have neither drift nor much spin. Far too easy.

[Benno Spire]

Looks no more than 100 spectators

They hide away at Derby these days.

But with the weather forecast, the last two defeats and it being on TV it was never going to attract many.

Typical Derbyshire!!

That is no surprise to be honest

Having watched most of his performances for us I think he has not bowled flat out yet in any of his spells

[Footyman]

We must be getting to the point of no return with Viljoen, he seems to have been unfit since January.

When he finally appears in the championship he will have a lot to prove if he hopes to complete his 3year contract successfully.

This quy looks like a total disaster. Injury prone and not very good

His last two overs in the win against Warwickshire was good enough but lets face it, they were garbage

I bet Kent are relieved they were outbid by us

You could make a team (I was going to say a decent one but it may not be) of Derbyshire's failed or aborted overseas signings.

I'll start with Travis Birt.

Compared to some overseas signings Travis Birt was half decent imo

Being brought up on the bigger Aussie outfields he used to try and fool the opposition batsman when he was fielding in the outfield by just lobbing up his first few returns making them think they could take a run to his throw

I remember one run out at Worcester when the batsman was not half way down the wicket after a bullet return from the outfield by Birt had the bails removed by the wicket keeper

I will give you Shaid Afridi though as a dud overseas signing
