County Cricket 2017 season

[hopeforthebest]

Looks like a cold day for Durham and early bad weather for Warwickshire, nothing to suggest weather will be their friend.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Helpful to have Rashid back. Much needed victory after the opening loss. Batting was a bit more resilient than usual, and with Plunkett and Willey to miss the early season, valuable that Coad should back up his good start.

The Bears have huge questions to answer before they face Surrey next weekend. Back to back innings losses with so little fight must be a real danger of being terminal for their chances of staying up this year. Surely there must be someone in the seconds or academy who can do a better job than Porterfield.

Derbyshire are 284/0, their record is 322 set in 1929

Another 5 wicket haul for Darren Stevens.

They've done it. First wicket went at 333.

Not really anything impressive, seeing as it was against declaration bowling. I thought that was banned?

The first 200+ wasn't

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like crucial sessions for Hants and Lancs, but defeats looming for Sussex and Durham. Game between Derbys and Northants is being artificially enhanced. Hard to know where that's going.

It must be tough for Giles and Troughton to deal with a top order that are simultaneously so out of form and must be short of confidence. The Lack of runs on the board will also spill over into the approach of the bowlers.

Giles not pulling any punches. Admirably candid but is it wise for him to sound so gloomy after two games?

Building up to an exciting finish much as I dislike contrived results.

not going to do Derby any good, by the looks of it. Northants need 28 runs in 7 overs with 4 wickets still in the bank

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good chase by N'hants. It feels a bit unsatisfactory perhaps, but two out of two for them.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Standout good start to the season for one spinner, Stephen Parry, with nine wickets at 20 and an ER under 2.
