END OF AN ERA
15/09
Sitting top of the table before this week's round of matches, in which Notts don't play, having already completed all fixtures. Northants play Worcestershire, effectively needing 21 points, to beat Notts' points per match average.

Rob Lord has signed a two year deal.
Mr Newell and Mr Moores just have to decide now about: Toby Pettman, James Hayes, Sammy King, Dane Schadendorf, Luke Fletcher, Tom Loten and Dane Paterson - all nearing the end of their current deals.

Congratulatons to Lyndon James who has received his County Cap this morning.
thought that would have happened a while ago?
ReplyDelete81 NOT OUT Well deserved Lyndon - a great prospect .
ReplyDeleteDoes it mean an immediate salary increase?
An okay player but no more. Proves management team will remain if contracts are being handed out. sadly.
ReplyDeleteI think Lord will be a good signing .
ReplyDeleteA fast bowler's nightmare is remaining fit, but he has all the attributes to be a good opening bowler who hits the deck in the range of 80-85mph.. No mug with the bat either. Still only 23 I believe.
Any chance Moores
ReplyDeleteDecisions being made about the future, so it looks as though Moores and Newell are staying put.
DeleteIndeed if new management were on the way then these decisions wouldn't have been made. It would seem more of the same for next season - which means more steady decline on the quality of cricket, amateurism in corporate negotiations over the hundred and the pavilion. And a Zimbabwe test....
Delete81 NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteFletch was a good , honest trier - a real old fashioned County pro. On blazing hot , airless days Fletch would keep pounding up and down delivering the goods , when others were exhausted and spent .
His batting talent seems to have deserted him in the past couple of years but was still capable of bowling a fair few tidy overs.
Think he fancies Bracegirdle,s job in the commentary box !?!?
Rumour still has Fletch signing into the Chaddesden Retirement Home in Derby.
DeleteEnormous appreciation deserved by big Fletch. A real county talent with endless good humour and commitment to the cause. A renaissance bowler in many ways. Team legend.
ReplyDelete81 NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteVery hard for Fletch to stay fit for another season. That massive aging frame on top of niggling recurring problems . With the runs drying up and the decreasing mobility on the field of play then would Derby think a one year contract be value for money . Batsmen can somehow struggle on for an extra bonus year but it’s much harder for bowlers to do the same .
Great news for the seconds.
ReplyDeleteWhat impact it will have will be interesting. Can players like Martindale, Loten, Schadendorf, King and Pettman “step up” (or better asked, can they be given a chance to ) to the firsts. Wasn’t so much opportunity this year
