As per usual Hameed has lost the toss and Notts will bat first.

Has Mr Newell lost his nerve with Fraser Sheat*, 5 wickets at 40, not giving the return he'd like from an overseas player?
Hence the signing of Indian Test Player of three years ago, Mukesh Kumar...
We will see.
Pravda:
*short term stint comes to a close
.........................................................................
We've reached the stage of the season where it's wins that matter and the bagging of more bonus points than our two rivals in the three horse race...
To pick our strongest eleven you have to decide who's in our fittest eleven!
Huge question marks sit over: Ben Slater, Brett Hutton and Lyndon James, all of which would be included in our strongest eleven, if fully fit.
The Second XI start a friendly today at the Lady Bay ground, the starting eleven there will at least give us a clue as to who isn't making the journey south.
Update: Sam Seecharan and Lyndon James are listed to play in the delayed start at Lady Bay
Mohammad Ali is still registered as a Notts player, but is his head frazzled from all the Pakistan mayhem?
83 NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteSlaters ongoing fitness problem is obviously affecting his concentration at the crease and has a run of low scores.
Captain Hammeed needs to score plenty of runs in the final two games . He is having a pretty poor season with the bat . We cant afford the pair of them getting out cheaply at the start of Notts innings.
Good grief.are we going for the record of having the most overseas players in one season ?
ReplyDeleteHas to be a Notts record already. Of course it can't have anything to do with a H*ndred windfall, it's just a coincidence.
DeleteIn recent weeks, Notts top 3 have been batting like novices .
ReplyDeleteIf Hameed, wasn't the captain, he would be dropped. Slater has been plagued by various problems, yet still get's selected ahead of Martindale after the later had scored his maiden 50..As for McCann, he currently doesn't look anywhere near a number 3, and should be moved further down the order.
Let's hope that form returns tomorrow for these 3, as it will be a tough test, against a decent Sussex team.
83,NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteWeather permitting Notts have a potential of 8 days cricket left this season.
Who in the team can play out of his skin and produce a match winning performance ? Ollie Stone has bowled his legs off and produced fantastic match winning figures .
A second title for Notts is well on the cards. The remaining games of Notts , Somerset and Warw. will ensure a dramatic end to the season . Lets hope rain and bad light doesn’t ruin any remaining games .
83, NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteEarly this morning and Notts were 65-3 and facing an uphill battle to get a decent total . Thank goodness for Brett Hutton
To me he would always be the first name on the teamsheet. Terrific all round cricketer.
