Vitality Blast Game v Nottinghamshire
Team - Reece, Godleman, Madsen (C), du Plooy, Cartwright, Finch, Guest (+), Watt, Potts, Lakmal, Scrimshaw
I don't make any changes after a good win over Lancashire
Toss - Nottinghamshire win the toss and elect to bat.
They absolutely tear us apart in the powerplay, scoring 80 runs and losing just one wicket. Watt comes into the attack and strikes immediately, dismissing the dangerous Hales for 22. They reach 117 for 3 at the halfway mark, in a good spot to make a huge total. Cartwright picks up 2 in 2 balls to drag us back into the contest, but the runs keep flowing and we are unable to stop them. We take a few more wickets to restrict them to 221 for 8, but now we will definitely need a massive batting performance to win this game.
Reece and Godleman are both sent back into the hut within the first 3 overs, leaving it up to our middle order. We lose 2 more wickets up until the 10 over mark, but with just 76 on the board we can just about guarantee a loss here. Du Plooy puts up a good fight but we fall 80 runs short in the end.
Nottinghamshire 221-8 20ovrs (Clarke 56, Slater 54, Cartwright 3-35)
Derbyshire 141-8 20ovrs (du Plooy 56, Cartwright 19, Swanepoel 3-26)
Nottinghamshire win by 80 runs
That was quite embarrassing, everyone apart from du Plooy and Cartwright failed miserably. Some changes will need to be made if we are to get back to our winning ways.
