Derbyshire register new bowler to offset injury crisis Nigel Gardner - 23 June 2001
Derbyshire have registered another seam bowler after an injury crisis decimated their pace attack. The former Sussex player Alex Edwards has joined the club and is in the squad for tomorrow's National League match against Middlesex at Derby. Derbyshire currently have four seamers on the casualty list while skipper Dominic Cork has been away with England. Kevin Dean has suffered a recurrence of a back problem, Trevor Smith is out with a groin injury, Tom Lungley is sidelined with a stress fracture of a foot and Tim Munton is struggling with an Achilles problem. Cork and Munton are due to be back for next week's Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy tie against Glamorgan but Derbyshire's pace reserves are still seriously depleted. Edwards, who made his first-class debut for Sussex in 1995, did enough for Derbyshire's second team this week to persuade the county to register the 25-year-old. © CricInfo Ltd.
