Derbyshire Signs Young Gun
Derbyshire may have found a brilliant prospect in 20 year old Chad Reynolds, spotted by coach David Houghton and star batsmen Hasan Adnan at a 2nd XI game while on his way to making 113* off 110 balls, when asked about the youngster David Houghton replied ?he is certainly aggressive but he picks the right balls to go after?, Adnan added ?he seems to be quite eager to get on the front foot and with a little work he could be damaging attacks on the county scene, his cover driving was amazing?.
We talked to Chad after the game and he was quite happy about his performance. ?To score runs with the two men who could determine my future as a cricketer watching was very encouraging, I know my technique is a little raw but those things can be worked out and I hope to do so with David and Hasan?. His stats in his 17 2nd XI matches are quite outstanding especially with his form this season
2nd XI Career
17 matches
1203 runs at 63.32
50?s - 6
100?s ? 4
Top Score - 157
2nd XI Current
9 matches
739 runs at 82.11
50?s - 3
100?s - 3
Top Score - 157
With the lack of emerging talent around Derbyshire cricket at the moment Chad Reynolds is a breath of fresh air but will still have to prove his worth against Surrey this week in his first County Championship match with an attack containing Anil Kumble and 3 other cricketers who have all represented their country. ?Facing a bowler with over 500 test wickets such as Anil will be tough especially considering his different style of bowling which will be something I?ve never seen before, in 2nd XI matches the spinners just try to turn the ball as much as possible I just hope he doesn?t get me out?.
