Another fine mess................................

Mick Newell's massive headache over Notts' final LV= match of the season against Warwickshire just got a bit bigger. The match that could still decide the championship will see an England squad trio of Trott, Bell and Woakes all potentially returning to swell the Bears' ranks  but conversely sees Notts losing to England; Broad, Swann, Patel, Lumb and Hales. On top of that problem it has been revealed today that Adam Voges will also miss that game, being called home by Western Australia for presumably pre-season training.

NottsCCC.co.uk suggests that the D of C looking for an overseas replacement; good luck with that sir, we only had Voges in the T20s and no one in April and for the most of May.


The comedy doesn't stop there; former Notts player, one half of the comic Laurel and Hardy opening partnership from a couple (or more) of years ago. Jefferson / Wood has retired, namely Will Jefferson, due a hip injury - probably due to his massive frame of 6 foot 10 ins.
