Passed away at 66. No age now days.
Great player and good manager of people. (In other words when I worked there he had a reputation for being a ball breaker!!!)
Sad loss to Nottinghamshire and the cricketing world.
Former Nottinghamshire captain and cricket manager Clive Rice dies at the age of 66
By MattDavies | Posted: July 28, 2015

Clive Rice and Richard Hadlee formed a fierce partnership
Former Nottinghamshire captain and cricket manager Clive Rice has died at the age of 66.
Rice passed away in his native South Africa after suffering from a brain tumour.
He was a key player at Trent Bridge in the 70s and 80s as he inspired Notts to the County Championship in 1981 and 1987.
In his debut season with Nottinghamshire, the all-rounder took 53 wickets and registered 1,128 runs in the Championship, and along with Sir Richard Hadlee, who arrived at Trent Bridge in 1978, forged a ten-year partnership which secured many honours for the club.
Despite his brilliance, Rice’s international career was restricted to the ODIs due to South Africa’s imposed isolation due to apartheid.
He played for South Africa in a number of unofficial Tests, latterly as captain, and captained South Africa in their first ODI series since their exile end, however, missed out on the 1992 World Cup and never played for his country again.
His first-class cricket continued until 1993-94, his final years being with Natal.
Having served an inspirational captain for Notts, he returned to Trent Bridge as the newly appointed cricket manager in 1999, a position he held until 2003.
He was also a major influence on the career of Kevin Pietersen having brought him to Nottinghamshire in 2001.
Rice's first-class career comprised 482 matches primarily for Transvaal, Natal and Nottinghamshire, and he scored 26,331 runs at an average of 40.95 and took 930 wickets at 22.49 apiece between 1969 and 1994. He also played 479 List A matches, making 13,474 runs and taking 517 wickets.
He scored 17,053 of his first-class runs for Notts at an average of 44.29 and took 476 wickets at an average of 23.58.
In List A cricket, he scored 8,666 runs for Notts and took 291 wickets.

Stuart brothers has taken Ralph Shepards job at Notts, whilst I don't doubt his media ability it does seem a strange appointment to me.
Thoughts?

We have to strengthen the squad in vital positions, we need people who can score the goals and avoid the goals. It's very simple; it's at the front and at the back.A centre-back has always been my wish, but we haven't been able to find the right one as yet but I would like at least three in. We know that. It's not a surprise.
Potentially, this could mean a striker too. It seems our squad isn't quite finished being built.
Could we negotiate with Justin Hoyte, so that Mawouna Amevor could move into a more central position? Perhaps even Brian Wilson could add further strength?
A natural, sold CB would be good but I don't think we require many more signings myself.

Just a quick plug for the prediction league ahead of the new season, it all kicks off in three weeks time - and that's just between tony & super_ram
It's always good fun, plenty of laughs and gets a fair few new members posting, so do join in. According to @notts-joe, there might even be a prize on offer this season!
If you've not played the game before, I will post six fixtures every week - two from each league in the FL, and you simply have to post your score predictions for each game. If you get the score correct you get three points; if you get the right result but not the score you get one point, and obviously if you get the result wrong you get nothing.
To make things a little bit more interesting, I'm introducing the "joker" prediction this season. Basically you have to choose one of your predictions as your joker, and if you get it right you get double points on that game ![]()
So keep an eye out in the week leading up to the game at Stevenage for the firsst round. Generally fixtures will be posted a couple of days before the games, and the scores and table are normally updated on either a Saturday evening or the Sunday, depending on where I've been on the Saturday

Good morning everyone.
It's a cool cloudy morning here. No kids to look after today so the day is ours to do what we want.
We may go for bike ride later but first I am going to try and do some computer work if I can and BT have sorted out the problems I have been experiencing with their Broadband.
Tonight we will be going to our SOBS support group, we haven't been for a while but we want to continue to go to support other people who have been bereaved by suicide, the group was a great help when our son died and we want to give something back.
On that cheerful note I will wish you a great day, please join in and tell us what you are up to today.
A warm PoN welcome to @Riverleeno.

Today is grim, yet again I shall attend my place of work.
And it rains....
What are you doing today?
Would Nathan Clarke make a good addition for us?
He does seem to be the type of player Ricardo Moniz has spoken about, you know 'passionate' and a 'leader on the field'. He's been mentioned a few times within our community, whilst a couple of fans have actually suggested him as a player directly to me. I am hearing Bradford City are keen on signing him, however I do believe we could attract him here provided we sold the dream to him.
What do you think?

This is an experiment that works really well on another forum I am involved with. Each day someone put in the daily thread with date etc. everyone adds to the post with a little snippet of their day. It doesn't have to be too personal or anything just a brief word about what you are planning or what you've done.
If it's going to work it needs people to contribute, at the end of each day the post needs to be locked by a mod and the next day a new daily post started. Anyone can start the daily thread.
Today I am taking my grandson to his swimming lesson, he's doing really well, he's mastered the back stroke and yesterday he was going under water for rubber rings, something which he would never do in the past.
What have you got planned or been up to, please join in.
In today’s instalment we begin by discussing the club’s most recent friendlies of the pre-season campaign, against Alfreton Town and Port Vale. We then move onto the latest transfer activity around Meadow Lane, including the potential of further additions being signed and the players the clubs rumoured to be looking at.
Next we up, we discuss the comments made by Dean Yates, as he invisions a more community driven Notts County, with players and fans mixing together.
We also touch on discussions from the Pride of Nottingham community, and plenty more.

We went camping with our two eldest grandchildren and our son and daughter in law came with two youngest grand kids.
It rained all day Friday so got wet through putting up sons tent and the awning to our motorhome.
Yesterday was lovely though and we went for a bike ride, had a train ride and flew a massive kite shaped like an octopus (yes really)
Later we went fishing and eldest grandson Quinn caught a decent size bream (see pic)
Later we had a great BBQ and a few drinks after the kids had gone to bed.
Today it rained again so got wet through again taking tent and awning down, fantastic weekend though, great to get everyone together.

It was my birthday last month and for a present my son bought me a camping trip plus tickets to see a Rolling Stones tribute band called Rollin Stoned.
We camped as a family and me and my son went to see the band on Saturday night, it was a double bill with a group who were called Abbey Road Experience, they were on first and did (as you can imagine Beatles songs) they weren't a look a like group but just played the music of the Beatles, we thought they were very good until the Rollin Stoned came on stage, they were magnificent, I'm a big Stones fan and I've seen the real thing 3 times and watched loads of videos and I though this tribute band had them off to a tee, every mannerism was spot on the music was damn good too. They really had all the oldies rocking in the aisles.
A great weekend.

As we all know he was on trial with us at Notts but theres an interesting article on sky sports about this Oldham says he still has a future there if we decide that we don't want him.
Thoughts?

Mick Jagger was 72 yesterday. Considering how he allegedly abused his body with drugs and drink during the Stones hey day, he doesn't look bad for his age, still rocking today and pulling in the crowds.
