O/T:- 🏏The other Notts [Cricket]

[Magpies1959]

I think Hutton has been great in this competition, but I was just picking a stand out from those who had not really seen any first XI action. It us a shame now that wicket keepers have to be able to bat first and keep second.
I am amazed that Notts offer the free stream, especially for the T20/One day cup games. I am certainly not complaining 😚

It surprises me as well. The live stream started up when no crowds were allowed due to covid, and I assumed it would finish once spectators were allowed back in. All counties do it (with varying degrees of quality) so you can watch away games as well.

No, the team that lost last night wasn't Notts, it was a franchise team. The 3 Notts players who did play for Trent Rockets will play no part in this game. Today's team is largely a mix of fringe players and youngsters.

Off to a decent start too.

A pretty good total of 338/8 from the 50 overs, challenging but not unbeatable.

Another new ball burst from Brett Hutton would be nice.

This line sums up why I can't get excited over 'The Hundred':

So a Notts batsman is stumped by a Notts wicketkeeper off a Notts bowler!!!!!

I follow the scores out of interest on how Notts players are doing, but this franchise format is garbage.

It’s just daft to be honest.

Things like playing 8 games, when there are only 8 teams. Supposedly it’s for local “rivals” which can be 130 miles away!

I love cricket but just cannot get behind the 16.4

One of the reasons I stopped being a member at Trent Bridge. The ECB have thrown everything at this and marginalised the other competitions, no interest in franchise competitions at all.

We can only hope that Richard Thompson does something about it. He hasn’t been it’s biggest fan. Problem is that the ECB have chucked so much money at it….

The ECB were hoping to sell the format but other countries all have their own T20 leagues and don't want to overcrowd their schedules with something that's not that much different. It's also caused a few divisions between the counties that are hosting it and those who aren't.

I went to a Rockets game the other week after my niece said she’d like to go. Despite all the gimmicks, it’s basically just the T20 with even worse names, isn’t it? It did make me smile that the pavilion was the emptiest part of the ground - definitely not one for the purists. Hopefully we’ll get her to a Notts game at Trent Bridge next time.

I’ve been a Notts member for over 30 years, and I don’t know a single other member of all those I know who has gone to a single game.

Doing OK so far in the 100 final. Not that I understand the teams/format.
