Some bathos needed : a day of two halves, perhaps.

I was just thinking that Luke Wood is Notts answer to our very own superman, Ollie Robinson. But Machan has put him in his place by smashing five fours in an over. He seems to have been reading Brendon McCullum's manual of cricketing tactics - vigorous counter-attack is the best form of defence!
But Wood has the last laugh - next over, two expansive drives with which Machan doesn't connect and then a third that he nicks to third slip. Oh dear. Rank stupidity by Machan, to be honest.

50 for 5. I'd settle for 100 all out. I thought you were referring to Notts! |

It's going to be one of those days where you wonder how it happened You certainly wonder how a 19 year old opening bowler who had previously made only 55 first-team runs in his career, managed to hit Magoffin for five sixes! Machan would only have had to survive another seven balls before the umpires took them off for bad light, which makes his rashness even more unforgiveable. I would imagine he is at this moment getting an Alex Ferguson-style bollocking of his life from Mark Robinson. |

Machan needs to bat to the situation. It was rash however people weren't complaining when he scored a 70 ball century batting this way
How did we let Wood whose career best was 26 not out score a hundred? What should have been 155 ended up as 255.
Why is Nash batting at 4 and what does that mean when Joyce returns?

None on here mate - well, occasionally Parsons. I'm a bit surprised Nash was at four too CP but I guess it's an experiment because of his poor CC form. This is gonna be a toughie I reckon, and always was. Notts will be up there somewhere come September, just a slow start - there attack is still good despite the many changes. Yet again it looks like we'll need a lower middle order save job from Brown & Co just to get close to the 250 odd they should never have got. Unless... Good luck boys. |

Not a batting coach that is needed, just some plain old common sense and some intelligence.
You can't coach that!
You can coach techniques and theory to batting, but most of it after that is pure common sense and some ability.

Some good news with which to start the day. According to a posting on Twitter, the ECB have issued a statement that the Hove pitch v Warwickshire, whilst rated poor by the umpires, will not be subject to a points deduction as no rules have been breached.

Good news - but this isn't the first 'questionable' wicket at Hove this season. We need to make sure this doesn't happen too often. |
