Put into bat on a flat dry track that took some early turn, the Lions struggled to 9/4 against the spin of McCullum and O'Keefe and the pace of Josh Hazlewood. The flying "Scotsman", Jean Symes dragged some respectability back for the Lions with 51 but a target of 122 was well short of par............... and so it proved as Sixers raced to their winning line without losing a wicket. Michael Lumb's 82* secured him man of the match and the golden bat award for scoring the most tournament runs.

Pybus Quits
Richard Pybus has quit the job of Bangladesh coach only 5 months into the post citing political interference as one of his reasons for leaving.
Earlier this year Notts' very own Mick Newell was tipped for the Bangladesh job but it was understood at the time that he didn't want to be away from his young children for the long periods of time that an international appointment would necessitate.
Has anything changed since last time? Notts/Newell failed to win any silverware 2012 despite having a heavy hitting squad on paper................................................... Notts wouldn't stand in the way of any international ambitions that Newell might be harbouring and might welcome a change, after all the 2011 flying start was achieved with Wayne Noon at the helm whilst Mick Newell had a spell in charge of England Lions. Wayne Noon became more noticeable around the first eleven during 2012, before the time Pybus accepted the Bangladesh job.
With a bit of luck, Mick Newell is running-up a massive international phone bill at the moment in his quest to sign Outlaws a significant overseas star or two for the T20 and the CB40 ............ and with the fixtures out next month, what will the limitations the LV= availability be for any potential imports that may be involved elsewhere during April and May?

George Dobell or ECB who's right?
Monday
England centrally contracted Graeme Swann has been granted a benefit in 2013 by the Nottinghamshire committee. I'm sure Notts fans will be in the main positive towards this reward following Ryan Sidebottom's benefit of 2009. Of course, Swanny has already extended his contract at TB until 2014. A just reward?
Notts Premier League
Well deserved benefit for @swannyg66 - we'll make sure@darrenbicknell keeps us advised of events at Prem Towers!http://www.nottsccc.co.uk/index.php/1/
Swann: "Next year will be a busy one with Ashes defence and Champ Trophy and am honoured that Notts have awarded me a benefit season"
