O/T:- 🏏The other Notts [Cricket]

[Elite_Pie]

But all knew the rules at the start. We should have got a result in one of the games in the initial league and then the way the Div 1 results went we would have won clearly.

That's true, the rules were clearly stated at the start and all counties had to abide by them. I was just questioning the wisdom of a rule that deems you can finish first, but the team finishing second is handed a big advantage based on two specific games rather than awarding points based on the division as a whole.

It's all done and dusted now, so the big positive for Notts is that this season has seen the emergence of some very promising young players in all formats of the game who have done well and can only get better.

Believe it or not, the cricket season starts today! Despite nearly winning the title last year, Notts are in Division Two of the County Championship this season because the standings are based on pre-covid positions from 2019. We are away to Suss ex in the opener, and Notts chose to field. Free live stream here for anyone interested:

Just what we needed after the Torquay debacle. When Sus*** scored 375 after being asked to bat, and then reduced Notts to 52-4, I feared the worst. Then a great captain’s innings by Steve Mullaney and a maiden century from young Joey Evison, batting at No.9, turned the game on its head. Well done “The Other Notts!”

Put ‘em in Sus*** 80-0. Going to be a long season…

It will be interesting to see how we bat, before deciding whether it will be a long season. I do think we might have let Sus*** get a few more than they should.

Going well again Notts 21-2
Slater gone for 1 & Hameed gone for 5
Hameed would struggle to get a game in club cricket he's crap.

A good effort to reach 214/5 after being 52/4, but once again the top order failed miserably. It doesn't seem a difficult pitch to bat on, so hopefully we can make 300+ tomorrow and stay in the game.

Great stuff from Notts today not only to take a first innings lead, but also to get the 5th batting bonus point.
