The Opposition
Yorkshire are bottom of the LV= County Championship but will be hoping for a turn around in their fortunes at Scarborough.
Adam Lyth is the Club’s leading red ball run-scorer this season with 757, including three centuries and three half-centuries, while youngster Finley Bean has scored 660 runs in his breakthrough campaign.
With the ball, Ben Coad (26) and Matthew Fisher (25) have taken a combined 51 wickets, with Coad averaging less than 18.
Pre-Match Talk
Head of Cricket, Mickey Arthur, says the final for LV= County Championship fixtures are an opportunity for Derbyshire’s players to stake their claim for a place in next season’s squad.
Derbyshire have already announced the signings of Mohammad Amir, David Lloyd and Pat Brown for 2024, and Arthur is looking to strengthen the squad further after a disappointing 2023 campaign.
With four matches remaining, starting with the game against Yorkshire at Scarborough, Arthur wants to see Derbyshire’s players pushing to showcase their quality and ability to win matches.
“We’re a very proud dressing room, but I’m trying to change the belief to one of winners, because we need to become winners,” he said.
“The talent sits there, and with the recruitment we’ve done, it’s going to be a different dressing room, one that can win and over the next four games, it’s about opportunities for players who are in our team already to put a stamp in the ground and say they want to start for us next year.
“There’s a lot to play for, it’s very excited and I’m looking forward to seeing how the players try to impress over the next month.”
