Hi @gtownjohnno I played for my school at under 14/15 level, and played occasionally for my work team for a while over 40 years ago. I used to play as an all rounder bowling seam up & batting number 5. I did bat as high as 4 on occasions. I haven't been a Notts member in recent years but I started out as a junior member for Notts when I was 14 through the school & carried on being a member into my thirties. I think it's important to include Nottinghamshire on here because lots of visitors will read the posts & there are two of us who are interested, so posting is worthwhile.

Notts have taken 3 Warwickshire wickets in 19 balls at the end of the day.Warwickshire are 7 for 3 wickets still 109 runs behind Notts.

County Champions Notts 374 a/o lead Warwickshire by 116 runs.Warwickshire will have 4 overs to survive before the end of the day.

I big welcome from me @Dave78 & welcome to our community.

At Tea Notts have gone on to 218 for 5 Hameed made 122

I'm looking forward to this one. I do hope that fitness permitting Martin Paterson will pick the same starting eleven & the same substitutes that he selected against Crawley. If Dennis is fit then it would still be a good idea to play with one striker with either Dennis playing behind Jatta in the same side or Dennis starting on the bench. My preference would be Dennis on the bench. I know that putting Dennis on the substitutes bench might be controversial, but he is returning from injury & I also think the side that played against Crawley picks itself. Crewe are going to want to play a passing game so it will suit Notts to employ a high press & try to win the ball as soon as possible, & try to hit Crewe on the break & down the flanks. I'd stick with Tsaroula & Jodi on the wings with Grant & Iorpenda behind Jatta. Then in the 2nd half we will have the option of bringing on super subs Luker & Hall to do some damage to the tiring Crewe rearguard. I'm hoping that a revitalised Notts can get a win against one of their closest rivals & make another statement regarding their promotion credentials.

At Lunch Notts are 100 for 2 with Hameed 54 n/o & Clarke 17 n/o

One of the greatest managers in football, Bob Paisley said “ it is not about the long ball or the short ball it’s about the right ball in the moment” The elements of surprise in football is paramount. Keeping your opponents guessing is one of the best tactics a team can deploy. An opponent wants a team to be predictable in their style of play because they can plan & set up their team to counteract. I love the Notts style of play. It has given them great reward over recent years, but going direct occasionally during a match can reap huge rewards. Employing the long throw can cause mayhem in an oppositions defense & free kicks and corners can also cause lots of trouble for opponents. We've seen Notts opponents employ these very tactics at Meadow Lane with varying degrees of success. "Playing the right ball in the moment" is key to success on a football field.

Notts v Warwickshire.Day 2.3 bonus points already in the bag. Attention now switches to the Notts batsmen. Can they score 300 or more runs today that would earn a further 2 bonus points which would clinch the County Championship?
