What the **** is going on at Derbyshire?

Players leaving left right and centre. Have they been signing flakes or is there something more fundamental going on?

Graham Welch: frying pan and fire comes to mind.

I wonder if they have an equivalent BB to this one? It would be in meltdown!

Chief Exec got a Napoleon complex?

Everything seemed to go wrong after the Poynton car accident.



P.S. Historians now suggest that Rumours that Napoleon had a Hilliard-Clarke Complex are unfounded. Apparently.

According to Cricinfo, Derbyshire started the season with a squad of 28 players. Essex, for example, had 22 before bringing in Salisbury & Sikander, so maybe Derbyshire were a bit bloated at the outset. Having said that, they have lost their leading run scorer (Moore) and a good bowler (Groenewald).

No doubt our chairman will be pointing out Derbyshire's traumas and telling everyone that it was good decision to stay in Div 2.

So what has happened to Moore? Groenewald I know about but they are back where they were 10 years ago it seems, maybe the Poynton trauma has affected them worse than everyone expected.

As I have said before ...too many players on the staff and too many 'support' staff. To paraphrase  a famous saying ...Resources expand to spend the income.
