Alfreton tend to do that to get more games played on the main ground rather than the awful school ground.

I believe its their seconds so it would\should have been on the main ground anyway. Ashover 2nds played Alfreton 3rds at said awful school ground on Saturday and from talking to folk it wasnt great.

Currently 153 not out from 53. Stupid hitting of a cricket ball.

Popped home for lunch abd turned it on as he'd got to 60 off. Been something special to watch.

De Villers hitting 30 odd from 8 balls probably didnt help them either!!

Suspect he's a shoe in for Man of the Match then!?!? That said they've made some strange decisions on that thing so far in the IPL to give it to Indian cricketers rather than imports!!

Yeah but they shuffle 'em round, eg they may have 3rds at Alfreton Park on the Saturday due to the way they do the fixtures.

This Gayle innings seems interesting!

Decent??

I doubt you'll see a better T20 innings in the next 5 years!!

That said, the progress being made in this format is remarkable.

Mug?? Being wrong never gets boring!

Was always going to be when you see the sides of some of the others teams. Finishing 3rd from bottom would be a fabulous achievement.

Huge gap between the two divisions it seems. That said we've lost the toss three times in a row & in April being sent in is a distinct disadvantage.

Can you believe Durham declared like that against porkshire ? They had a few results like that last season too.

Interesting to see Ross Whiteley has been left out of the side twice now. Was one of the mainstays last year and by all accounts had a very productive season in Adelaide over the winter.

He must have been picked for the Swarkestone midweek side or something!!
