Set batsman Donald gone, caught at cover, slashing at Seales. 157/7

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

It would be a great effort to bowl them out before the rain arrives this afternoon. Looking dry for most of tomorrow and Sunday.

Local commentator reckons that Tickner and the last two, are 'three number 11s'. Let's hope he's right.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Run out

Run out

Great bit of fielding, and a great decision from the umpire.

Funny thing with Derbyshire.

I've always pronounced it 'Derr..byshire' but most folk say 'Darbyshire' Same with 'Derrby/Darby' County

Is it just me ?

Darb-eh-shire.

Can’t believe Madsen only made six. That’s like playing Manchester City and Foden not scoring.

In the first half...

 

[jcdenton08]

In the first half...

So you’re saying he’s making 200 in the second innings to compensate? Probably

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Rain.

Yes! I have, literally, never heard a British person use the former pronunciation.

Yes! I have, literally, never heard a British person use the former pronunciation.

I heard an announcer on an East Midlands train pronounce it with an "er" sound once. Like, an actual human being, not a prerecorded announcement.

Matthew Parris (former MP for Derbyshire North East or somewhere like that) mentioned in one of his columns that some of his constituents, generally of an older and more rural persuasion, would pronounce it that way.

My dad, much traveled, would use that pronunciation. I have used it ever since. It's clearly dated, but I'm too long in the tooth to change now. I'm a fan of Aldershot Town as well as Albion and have always pronounced that Uldershot. I think that's just me.

The continuality announcer on Channel 5, at the end of episodes of Home and Away, would always finish promoting their latest viewer competition, by inviting you to send your entries to a PO Box in DERR-BY. But they were Australian weirdoes.

That's always stuck with me for some reason!

I'm not sure it's dated, more Americanised, most importantly though, it doesn't matter one bit, you pronounce it how you want

Obviously they're all wrong . A segue, Derby station has the loudest announcements ever, they're painfully loud, I've no idea why.

I once spent a few hours on that station after an evening match at Sheffield Wednesday. Home about 7am. Why I didn't take the coach, heaven only knows.
