Going pretty well again. Shame we managed to balls up those 2 games or we'd be set for a home quarter-final.

[Ted Maul]

Made harder work of that than necessary, but a good win.

 

Assuming Yorkshire beat Northants, it's a simple equation... just win at Trent Bridge, and we're through!

 

Bizarre that you play 14 games in a group of 9.

[Sunbury Fox]

Great win again. Notts away is as hard as it comes, though. I have a horrible feeling that we might come to regret messing up that Durham home game but so hope I'm wrong. 

[Guest MattP]

Great night tonight, one of the best down Grace Road.

 

Loved a low run chase with a slow pitch rather than the usual hitting. Cossy was superb.

[AjcW]

Would be great to get into the quarters, bit of respite from the other forms and some cash!

 

However as someone who watches a lot of T20 at Notts as I live here, I’m struggling to see it. The atmosphere under lights is incredible and they’re so so strong at home.

 

The talent in the batting seems never ending, you can get excited by getting Hales out and then Root comes in, you get weasels out and Samit comes in and so on....

 

Id definitely say bowl first if we win the toss, they love a run chase!

Lots of rain around tonight and a point would do us 

[Osavo]

Should be a good game tonight, providing the rain stays away. Reckon we'll be a little bit strong for you, but then we don't actually have anything to play for.

 

Anyone going along?

Why has Eckersley been recalled? He looked completely clueless at the start of the comp. Need a special end of the innings to be in contention, Notts' batting is pretty formidable.

If Delport's there at the end, we'll have a very defendable total!

Cracking innings from Delport, that.

 

In with a decent shout if we bowl well (not holding my breath)

[HybridFox]

This is unreal come on!!! We HAVE to win from here 

[SMX11]

Notts have a lot of match winners in that batting line up. Still favour them at this time but we certainly have a chance now with that score.

[Ted Maul]

What's the forecast like? Could D/L Come into play?

There's some menacing clouds but they look like they're blowing over.

Shame. All set up for a fat Sam masterclass 

[HaroldBazBo]

When's Ben Raine back? Some of our bowlings pretty weak.

Need to take Christian this over or we lose

Haha we're actually going to throw this away...

This is sickening 

[HybridFox]

FFS we've blown it. Just rained boundaries these last few overs

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

How have they managed to throw this away?

[HybridFox]

Only Leicestershire could blow this kind of lead from the position they got themselves in

Just couldn't keep any sort of pressure on, nobody to hold an end down in the middle of the innings.

[Ted Maul]

What we'd give to have Snapper and Claude bowling 8 overs.
