Hales an injury doubt

Alex Hales is suffering with a strained quad so will be under the physio today; if the physio fails in his task, Scott Elstone stands-by ready to fill Hales' boots.


[Twitter suggests Elstone will play but the Notts website is more optimistic that Hales will be fit]


The DoC has now a policy of "consistency" in squad selection and also hopes Samit Patel is available from rain duties with England, if not Graeme White waits for his turn. Watch-out for a surprise in tonight's XI as Mr Newell has said he isn't going to meddle - a definite indicator of change.


Notts seconds had a four day wash out at Kidderminster.




ANSWER


No - Hales didn't play


Notts appeared to have lost their mojo, for the evening only - fingers crossed, Carter being awful, Mullaney dropping a skier - unheard of, Patel very rusty and surprise selection ahead of Elstone, White, looking like he hadn't bowled for weeks, which he hasn't much.

v Lancashire Lightning T20 2012

Sky defies the weather...................................as Outlaws steal victory! On a night of great farce Notts secured an extremely fortuitous win over Lancashire at a sodden Trent Bridge. On a night where drizzle was never far away, play got under way at 1845, 35 minutes late. Notts won an important toss with the high probability that Vera would rear her ugly head later on.

Cover for the cover!

England had drafted-in Stuart Meaker as cover for Jimmy Anderson but now have drafted-in Chris Woakes to cover for both Meaker and Jade Dernbach who will be attending Tom Maynard's funeral at Llandaff on 4th July.

Hales on song for Outlaws

Morgan prime cut

Eoin Morgan top scored for England at Lord's in a rain interrupted innings against the old foe - Australia.


England 272/5
Eoin Morgan 89*
Jon Trott 54
Ian Bell 41
Alastair Cook 40 


Only Morgan got after the bowlers and so the game remained close.


David Warner 56, Michael Clarke 61 got the Aussies whilst shouting distance but ultimately the World # 1 ODI side fell 15 runs short.

Morgan Prime - chump! 17/07/12

In trouble with Middlesex because he was late arriving yesterday for a CB40 match against Lancashire, because he was stuck on a train!
