LET THE COUNTDOWN COMMENSE
It's 40 days until Nottinghamshire play their first warm-up match of the 2022 season.
22 - 24 Loughborough Students (not first class) at Trent Bridge
26 - 27 Warwickshire (friendly) at Trent Bridge
29 - 30 Derbyshire (friendly) at County Ground, Derby
Loughborough match would have been First Class, but for petty ECB.
ReplyDeleteJust saying !
Let’s hope the Hound Rd and Larwood&Voce stands are open again for these pre season games. 3 years ago, I recall watching a 50 over game in pleasant early season sunshine from the L&V which was a chronic view as the pitches are normally right towards the Parr side for these encounters. But for these practice games the view doesn’t bother me and I prefer to be warmer compared to freezing your nuts off in the ‘Fridge’ or the Pavilion as sometimes these have been the only stands open for such low key warm up games.
ReplyDeleteGet that sheepskin coat and gloves at the ready. Sometimes there is snow and ice about in April! When will Notts ccc invest in heated seats and outdoor warm air blowers? One day it will come , along with a cricket ground with full retractable roof which will guarrantee a full days play regardless.
ReplyDeleteI can recall a home game about 7/8 years ago in April when I believe the temperature was 6 degrees one day. Apparently, if it ever drops down to 3 degrees, Sheila Ferguson does the live stream commentary instead ?
ReplyDeleteI don’t think you should mention the word beginning with S - it could be considered to be sheepist now in some quarters? Instead you should refer to it as a coat mad from the fur of an animal beginning with the word ‘S’ Please re-educate yourself Mr.Cruet
ReplyDeletePoint taken.
ReplyDeleteI dare not offend anyone.
Perhaps I need a full course of indoctrination - so I know what to say and what not to say.
The " woke " Police examine every word said in case one single word can be perceived to be an insult to someone , somewhere
2 Inclusion and diversity tutorials will be in the post from the Nottinghamshire Diversity committee for messrs CK and O, so you can be ready for the new season. Those that identify as ovine deserve our respect too. LGBTQ+ (that's + farm animals)

ReplyDeleteSo many of us need re- programming - it would appear.
