Seconds lose despite dominating

After dominating the game for 8 sessions, Derbyshire lost yesterday to Warwickshire Seconds by two wickets.

Thanks to Mark for updates on the scores. Apparently "overly aggressive" field placings in the last session enabled Warwickshire to get into a winning position that they didn't deserve. What would have been a draw became a gamble on the win which went the wrong way.

It doesn't alter the fact that the side have played excellent cricket this season. Several young players have done extremely well and it augurs well for the senior side's long term future.
