The captain’s log with Derbyshire’s Billy Godleman
The opener opens up on a variety of subjects.
Derbyshire batsman Billy Godleman is the latest county skipper to discuss lockdown life with the PA news agency.
Here the opener talks improvised weightlifting, Toy Story and missing the game he loves.
How are you coping with the lack of cricket?
What are the best and worst parts of life in lockdown?
What are your most creative home workouts?
Are you able to work on any cricket skills at the moment?
“Nothing official apart from a little knock-up with the boy, but I am a big watcher of cricket. I take in as much as I can and about once a week I’ll chat with a couple of the lads about stuff one of us has seen from watching games last season.”
What are you missing most about the county circuit?
How do you think things will be different when cricket returns?
Do you have a message for the fans?
“My message would be to make sure you keep yourself and your immediate family as safe and healthy as you can. It’s common sense but at the moment if you’re not out there on the front line or behind the scenes helping then it’s the best we can do.”
What new entertainment have you discovered in lockdown?
What have the club been doing to help the community?
“We have a ‘make the call’ initiative to check in with our members and see how they’re doing. We are a community club with a very intimate relationship with the fans and it’s been nice to have some cricketing exchanges with them, you realise how much you can take that stuff for granted.”
