DERBYSHIRE`S  troubles  multiplied  with a crushing defeat by 108
runs in a rain-delayed 21-over match at  Edgbaston.  Warwickshire
hit  17  fours  and   nine  sixes  in making 201 for six and then
humbled their stunned visitors for 93, writes Mike Beddow.

An opening stand of 93 in 11 overs by  Nick   Knight   and   Neil
Smith  was only a taster for Dougie Brown`s whirlwind progress to
a half- century in 19 balls and 57 from 23.

At the height of the storm four balls  from  Vince   Clarke  pro-
duced  three  sixes  and  the  wicket  of  Smith, the victim of a
sprawling catch at long on by Phillip DeFreitas after  completing
his  third  fifty  in four Sunday innings.

Derbyshire   were   then   totally  swamped  by an asking rate of
nearly 10 runs an over.
