Notts v Hants

We need to get back to winning ways in this difficult fixture starting on Wednesday.

 

Chris Tremlett has been dropped with Cork coming back in.

 

Team from:

 

Carberry, Adams, Lumb, Vince, Dawson, Ervine, Mascarenhas, Burrows, Cork, Griffiths, Tahir, Tomlinson.

 

I suspect it will be between Griffiths and Tomlinson. We need them both to give us good balance but with Pothas still injured the batting will likely be strengthened.

 

I understand that Tahir is going to have a session with Shane Warne next week. Good to see Warney is keeping in touch.

No surprise to see Tremlett dropped and at least Cork should strenthen the batting a little. I would imagine Griffiths will keep his place as he bowled well v Yorks.At least Notts will be missing Broad, Swann and Sidebottom which makes things slighty easier.

Indeed just the sort of day we needed save of course for the injury to Carberry. Good news though is we probably will not need him to bat further in this match so it could be worse. Would be nice to get to around 500 and then the pressure is on Notts.

At Headingley Lancs only scored 226-7 off 100 overs v Yorks, when I saw the score I was sure there must have been a delay of some sort due to the low score.

Carberry officially out for the season. Very disappointing news. Lumb up to opener, and another chance for Benham?

 

I think this shows how good Carberry has been though for sure we know that already !

I imagine Benham will come in though not sure if Crawley is fit ?

Tahir already has 2-11 so it would seem obvious he is the key to us winning this. Weather forecast is for a few showers but I reckon as long as not too much time is lost we can get a much needed win from this.

 

Yes let's hope so. If i could I would go up there today -maybe tomorrow - the weather looks OK at 10am.

Good as it is currently dry here as well but looks as if we could get a shower or two but I reckon it would take Notts 2 full days to even get on par so we can certainly afford to attack which will help Tahir above all, some Warney type field placing called for Dimi!

Real shame though that it seems Notts have Sidebottom in the team now to bolster their batting ;)

Tahir hardly seems to have had a bowl at all so far this morning - I hope he is OK. It seems strange that he has only bowled 8 overs so far.

 

Edit - He is now on at last.

 

Very strange to wait 90 minutes, would have a least given him a few early overs but for sure ultimately we need him to bowl lots of overs!
