Geez, massive win for Derbyshire there! Gutted to have missed out on the runfest, and I'm happy to blame it on my move down to #4 Who took my spot, Liam? Please don't say Taylor, haha.

Ah, good old Hassan. Hmm, curious as to why I was dropped down the order given the circumstances (ie; higher List A average, the previous game,etc)?

In the previous OD game you batted at 4.

Hahaha.. oh.. um... that is precisely my point.

Batting doing nicely. Bowling still the wrong side of below average.

Mine seem to be the complete opposite of the Dev league - 2 half centuries in 2 OD knocks, but conceding 9 an over.

A better performance bowling wise from myself, can't complain.

Disappointing that we couldn't get the win, but there were some definitely some good signs there. Happy to notch up a 50, but Weston - what a monster

Damn. Crushing to lose that match when I hit some form in the OD arena.

This OD is mad - 3 knocks 188 runs without being dismissed now - why couldn't I do that for Reds?

Haha, big win for Derbyshire there. Happy to notch up that half-century and finish unbeaten in the second dig, wish I could go on a make a big score though. Huge performance from Pathan - hahaha, what a gun.

Nice batting from the Morkster too.

If only Younis Khan didn't declare once he got out to engineer a win for the opposition. *sigh*
