O/T:- 🏏The other Notts [Cricket]

[Mark_Ross]

Seems like the cricket strangely analogues the football: Flat-track / no pressure kings.

I would say we are a stale team and we have shall we say too many “unfit” players in the field.

Not saying we won’t go through as we have the experience.

The biggest mystery is how Tom Moore’s has a pro contract .....oh yeah daddy is boss.

I confess I'm only a casual observer of cricket and I wouldn't claim to know a huge amount about the Nottinghamshire squad, but what does surprise me is how many players seem to have been there for a very long time, especially bearing in mind this sizeable and prestigious club, with a Test-match quality ground, has somehow got relegated to division two of the County Championship more than once.

From a layman's point of view I get the impression of a club that's a bit too comfortable, where 'old boys' get contracts renewed too automatically, possible at the expense of fresh talent from England and overseas. I may be completely wrong, but shouldn't Nottinghamshire CCC be aiming higher?

I would agree with that Jackal.

It all starts from the very top Newell seems bullet proof we know why that is too !

In County Championship we have given youngsters a go LPW Evison James and we are doing well.

T20 is always a hit & miss format but I think we are stale as you say its always the same names selected some on what they have done in the past.

I am going off Notts CCC of late, not so much for the cricket itself, more for the way they push the link with their mates next door. If you look at their website, there is lots of red and white appearing. Bracegirdle the Radio Red cricket presenter, who commentates on NCCC live streams is a Florist fan, and finds it very hard not to mention them in his commentaries.
Maybe it is me being churlish.

No not at all.
I am sick of the endless Forest comments too.
Half the team support Forest including the overseas players it would seem.
Not going to change anytime soon, we know Radio Red's love of all things Forest related.

Uurrgghh! Glad I've got a few hundred miles worth of immunity.

But if the F-worders have a 'mare season all this fair weather support will disappear as suddenly as it appeared.

[Observerpie]

There certainly seems to be an air of complacency about them, too many players assured of their place regardless and that's a very bad thing.

T20 game at Leicester just about to start. Free live stream here:

Leics bat first, if we lose this one qualification becomes difficult.

[Elite_Pie]

Some good bowling and poor batting means we only have to score 124.

Surely even Notts can't cock this up!
