Ever so slightly amused and bemused...

Today's star prize in the "Diplomatic web entry" award category goes to the guys behind Derbyshire County Cricket Club's site.

As was written in their report of day one of the Second XI fixture against Essex, writing about Greg Smith:

"Smith departed the County Ground last term, however he has found difficulties in securing a regular middle order berth in a side packed with quality all-rounders. He will have been pleased to show his old employers just what has made him such a success at First-Class level, and he resumes his innings on day two 118 not out."

Well, he did progress to 150 today, but it was in stark contrast to a season in which he has averaged 17 with the bat and 58 with the ball (for six wickets) in their first team.

With such stats he'd have a struggle taking a middle order berth from me at my club. I don't think Ryan ten Doeschate will be losing a lot of sleep right now...
