meanwhile at Taunton, Scott Elstone is playing for the Unicorns, closed on 75* a personal best List A score. Somerset raced to a rapid win however; Scott didn't get a bowl.
Academy winning draw
The final game of the day saw the Nottinghamshire Academy draw with Mansfield Hosiery Mills at Lady Bay. The county side batted first and Tom Rowe (77) led the way as their innings closed on 232 for 9; Adam Tillcock supported with 38 and Matt Wright stood out with figures of 5-74 with Sudesh Fernando adding 3-57. The visitors were always in the game but regularly lost wickets and ended on 191 for 8 with Gareth Curtis scoring 60 and Matt New 49; Luke Wood continued his fine start to the season with 4-32.

Sams Wood and Kelsall were added to the squad when it was released that Read and Cowan were "carrying knocks".
Swann picks up points
Graeme Swann was clobbered with a 3 point penalty following his reaction to his dismissal yesterday against Durham, being given LBW.
Samit Dropped
Ravi Bopara's selection for England's Champions Trophy effectively at Samit Patel's expense might serve as a "buck your ideas up Samit" call - he certainly needs a firm kick up the *^<> for his lack of contribution so far against counties in 2013. Swann and Broad made the squad, however.
Comment from NSW
Thanks so much for another great report on what must have been for the neutral as well as the biased an absorbing cricket match. I am looking forward to the week-end with great anticipation as I will be playing alongside guys who have been selected for Australia's Over 70's side which tours England in August and is involved in a 3-Test series of games v. England.
I will be going to a ground near Mandalong which is about 35 minutes north from here in NSW.
I have just completed the reading of the autobiographical ''Sometimes I forgot to Laugh'' by Peter Roebuck which is a good read. As you know his life ended in controversy and sadness. He is hugely respected here, though by commentators on cricket. He was a part of the ABC coverage on cricket and wrote many articles.. He coached as a specialist batting mentor at Cranbrook, a top-notch private school in Sydney. In an article of 25/12/2011 written by Joe Karsay in Roar magazine Ed Cowan is mentioned as being perhaps the Australian most upset at Peter Roebuck's passing. Ed attended Cranbrook and was noted for his hard work and constant practice and coached by Peter. It would be interesting for you / Notts View to get an interview up with Ed as he is a pivotal cricketer not just for Notts but also Australia.
Meanwhile I hope you Red'uns enjoy the Forest/Leicester game and have a great week-end yourself.
