Out with the old & in with the new

Royal London Cups; as Durham won the 2014 one in a low scoring contrast to the their semi final, the draw was made for the groups in 2015's competition.

v Yorkshire LV Championship at Trent Bridge

Day 4 - Yorkshire's Prize

Yorkshire took under 80 minutes to wipe way away the last five Notts wickets to become champions for 2014.

 

Off the 16^th ball of the day Keedy lost off his off stump to Sid to depart for a duck. Sidebottom had his tail up bowling from the Pavilion End and in his next over Read (2) edged to Bairstow. Six overs later, Fletcher became Sid’s third victim of the morning edging to Lyth at slip having made five, 172 for eight. Rashid replaced Brooks and Ball clearly struggling against the leg spinner lasted 11 balls before falling leg before for a duck. Gurney survived the next ball.

 

Fittingly Sidebottom not considered by the DofC to be fit for a three year contract at the end of 2010 season got the final wicket at 1137 as Taylor took a step down the pitch and drove straight to substitute Rich Pyrah to cue wild celebrations. Taylor gone for 75; an innings which included 10 fours. Sidebottom meanwhile had taken 18.2-7-30-6. Notts had lost five wickets for 28 runs in a most feeble effort.

 

Notts have had wretched fortnight and they have somehow pick themselves up for the final game of the season against Sussex on Monday. MAG

v Durham RLODC Semi Final at the Emirates ICG, Riverside, Chester le Street

Following their defeat at the Riverside three days previously Notts entered this semi on the back foot. Thanks though to Team England they also had their arms and legs tied together as Hales and Gurney were not allowed to participate whereas Ben Stokes dropped from the Twenty/20 set up was free to roam and devour Notts.

v Durham LV Championship at Chester le Street

Starting day 4 with 178 required and not very much batting to come, it was always going to be an uphill task against the Durham battery of quickish seam bowlers. It was vitally important for Wessels and Franklin to stay at the crease for a long period. The first worrying sight of the day was seeing James Franklin’s left arm in an ice pack of almost titanic proportions at the breakfast table.

The Epilogue 

Some might say that following the re-vamp of the oldest senior Twenty/20 competition that the side that embraced “re-vamp-ment” the most, deserved to win the competition.

v Derbyshire Falcon RLODC Quarter Final at Trent Bridge

CLASS TELLS as Falcons plummet from Pelican Cup

A superb man of the match of the match performance from James Taylor ensured that Notts thrashed their local rivals and advanced to the Royal London semis.

With Hales and Gurney on England duty Sam Wood and Jake Ball came in, Taylor won the toss and decided to bat on a wicket in the centre of the square.
