Imposter Email


Yesterday my Email box received an Email from info@nottsccc-comms.co.uk; Notts cricket you would have thought but no it was another attempt to seduce me into interest in the Trent Imposter Deep-Pocket Rockets.

The Imposters and the unwanted Hundred competition not only take players away from Notts Outlaws, they exclude Notts Outlaws from their own home venue and schedule fixtures for the same days as Notts Outlaws are playing. Why would a Notts supporter be interested?

There might be seven Outlaws past and present on the Imposters' squad roster but that doesn't make the team Nottinghamshire or Notts Outlaws, just imposters!

If your spam managed to sift out the wheat from the chaff and you missed it, below is not how it was sold originally.

    1. Good to read that. Linking in a non partisan way to big event today, this democracy thing is interesting. Could it be used more effectively in our county club ? Not sure that the "governance" ideas move in a democratic direction though. Pretty sure the Hundred would lose

  3. Noticed on Pravda the new one day shirts are being offered with your favourite players name and squad number free of charge for a limited period. This is a decent offer but it's ironic that in the case of the new green/yellow RL50ODC shirt the majority of the senior players won't actually be wearing it this season.

    1. Perhaps have a shirt with "Situations Vacant" on the back.

    2. I love the way the Trent Deep Pockets Rockets gaudy playing kit is superimposed onto the players. Well, until the first photo shoot it has to be.

  4. If Notts are such a good team in white ball cricket (hence all the so called automatic selections for the Trent Doo-dahs), then why has none of them been selected for either of the England squads to tour South Africa.

    England squad for three ODIs in South Africa: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex) captain, Moeen Ali (Worcestershire)Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Tom Banton (Somerset), Pat Brown (Worcestershire), Sam Curran (Surrey), Tom Curran (Surrey), Joe Denly (Kent), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Dawid Malan (Yorkshire), Matthew Parkinson (Lancashire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire).

    England squad for three T20s in South Africa: Eoin Morgan (Middlesex) captain, Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Pat Brown (Worcestershire), Sam Curran (Surrey), Tom Curran (Surrey), Joe Denly (Kent), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Dawid Malan (Yorkshire), Matthew Parkinson (Lancashire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), Mark Wood (Durham).

  5. Yes, indeed. IF we had won last years blast PM and the DoC would have CLINGED to the fact we were the most successful team in recent white ball history as I heard them both spout. Unfortunately we then produced a batting collapse on a par with anything I've ever witnessed. This is only my hunch but when Giles says the door is not closed for dear old Baz(Hales) I suspect he really means you've shot your bolt and go away pls certainly for as long as Eoin Morgan pulls the strings.

  6. Well it seems another e'mail from "Trent Bridge" on the subject of the new monster. Apparently members are now to get concessions on tickets for the Hundred, although there are done ifs and nuts on this. Either this is an act of massive generosity, it the new target audience is rather smaller than ECB and our CEO invisaged
