O/T:- 🏏The other Notts [Cricket]

[AllNottsAreWe]

Hales is a marmite figure, as is often the case with players of his ilk in all sports. Just think how much less interesting sport would be with players/compstitors like Hales.
My beef against Hales is that he has chosen to not play red ball cricket anymore. Playing red, and white ball cricket can be done, look to Root for a perfect example.

He certainly divides opinion.

I will always remember his demolition of the Surrey attack in the final at Lords a few years ago.

No doubting Alex's talent.

He does come across as a bit of a Billy Big Bxxxx and a cocky so and so.
I view him the same as KP, huge talent, questionable character.

Only my opinion which could be total BS.

Maybe his Bxxxx aren’t quite so big after the other night 🤣

My guess is that a cricket ball thudding into them would make them bigger rather than smaller!

I've met Alex a number of times, with my kids at the ground but also on nights out in Nottingham and he has always come across as a decent bloke.

He has clearly made some mistakes which keep him out of the England set-up which is a real shame but Notts have been the major beneficiaries of this.

I don't blame him for not playing red-ball cricket. Its a short career and he is a way better white-ball player and is making the most of that reputation.

Not sure if this has already been discussed on here but Chris Cairns is in hospital on life support after a serious heart problem. Apologies if I'm the last to know.

One of the nicest people I've ever met playing cricket, a competitor but still a gentleman.

I've been watching the live stream (link below) and Northants have just been bowled out for a modest 210. Patterson-White was excellent, returning figures of 10-3-19-5.
