HaroldBazBo 31 Posted 1 October 2020 Report Share Posted 1 October 2020 Nixon is turning us around in this format and in the right way. Parkinson, Griffiths and Davies bowled beautifully. Swindells batted really well. Its all developing youth. Nottinghamshire‘s team average over the age of 30. It’s being talked of as a Dads Army when actually it’s a dereliction if duty. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K1FOX 353 Posted 1 October 2020 Report Share Posted 1 October 2020 After such a great fight back from the first 8 overs two elementary mistakes cost us. Will rain all weekend anyway so doesn’t really matter. Umpires should hang their heads in shame. A clear bias 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They don't even need to develop their own players any more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s a lot of positives from this season and it’s great to have a team that scraps and is competitive more often than not again. A number of players have improved including some I thought wouldn’t be good enough going forward but have done a job. Fair play to Nixon and the coaching staff. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RowlattsFox 2,469 Posted 1 October 2020 Report Share Posted 1 October 2020 Notts don't need to develop their own players because they can just let us do it then if someone talented does come through they can just sign them up. No risk for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cake 86 Posted 1 October 2020 Report Share Posted 1 October 2020 Umpiring was awful. Lilley did help to get us there. Pissed off but no hard feelings. Lilley and Klein had a good competition. Much improved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HaroldBazBo 31 Posted 1 October 2020 Report Share Posted 1 October 2020 The cricket press are finally taking notice of the way teams like Notts and Hants do their business, hence the recent praise about how Essex and Somerset do theirs and have risen to the top. No reason why we can’t do the same given time. It was Essex who we beat to break the famous losing streak 4 seasons ago and look what’s happened to the, since.. This year has been a step forwards.

The disgusting ECB read cricket so wrong. They don't understand the supporters. They just think new cricket fans are 'families' or those fackin lower middle class bozos in their 30s and 40s who go to England matches and dress up as Spiderman or wear a sombrero. Counties like county aren't viable, the ECB bails us out and return, the ECB feels it has the right to destroy us. A slow insidious poison to kill us off and the create a super League of the test grounds. Total bollox. That's not English cricket County cricket is, unknown to them, at its best at taunton. At the Scarborough festival. Marquees at Arundel. Picnics, sunny Sundays and booze at chesterfield. Rowdy Friday night matches at grace road. Nightmare NatWest game away at a minor county at Jesmond. Kids playing in the nets and on the outfield at tea. Heckling touring international teams on the outfield then, as I did, stood in the Meet bookies an hour later with Mark Waugh watching the nags. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We deserved to win that, umpires were 💩 proud of the team though Certain individuals stepped up but some didn't. Can't be proud of the team for throwing it away like that. Lilley and Klein won't be sleeping well tonight. Gutting way to lose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This ridiculous power play decider wouldn't have been needed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunbury Fox 1,572 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 (edited) Still feeling gutted about last night. God knows how the players must feel. They should be proud of their efforts overall, though. Edited 2 October 2020 by Sunbury Fox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Father Ted 1,110 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Swindells doing the business with the bat when it mattered. Begs the question why we've been messing about with Rhodes and Dearden. It's a real shame about the 2 misfields but I think we have every right to point at 3 disgraceful umpiring decisions too. The 2 Notts LBWs were stonewall and at a time where we were really turning the screw. Looking forward to next season now, some good young talent in there, I just hope we can hold on to them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Corky 13,474 Posted 2 October 2020 Report Share Posted 2 October 2020 Ackermann, Swindells, Griffiths, Davis, Parkinson, Welch- the nucleus of a decent side there. Add in a couple of quality overseas players and a canny signing here and there and we've enough to be competitive. We lost to a team full of internationals and serious experience on a technicality- we've made huge progress this season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cardiff_Fox 6,287 Posted 3 October 2020 Report Share Posted 3 October 2020 If you needed any further proof that the ECB have zero brains, there’s a high chance tomorrow’s 20Twenty Finals Day is decided in a bowl out inside Edgbaston’s indoor school Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RowlattsFox 2,469 Posted 4 October 2020 Report Share Posted 4 October 2020 With no fans surely they could've just gone abroad for finals days to ensure it happens. A bowl out if ridiculous. They've done really well to organise some cricket this summer but it's ending in farce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Walshy5 245 Posted 4 October 2020 Report Share Posted 4 October 2020 (edited) It is a stupid rule but we'd never have won a super over. The players would never have been able to lift themselves after what happened. Plus Notts have far bigger hitters than us. Our biggest hitter is arguably Aaron Lilley and his confidence would've been shot after the day he had. Edited 4 October 2020 by Walshy5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
