Snakes in the pitch, doubts in the mind. Not a good combo for batting.

Lord Gower’s puns on Saaf laundry powder are drier than the Multan pitch. Splendid to have him back on comms.

See for miles today up on Shining Tor, the highest part of Cheshire

Today feels more than appropriate that Brook has a Major League Baseball sponsor logo on his bat.

So farewell to Big Fletch. One of our own. Few players will have had such a connection with those supporting. Hope Notts stump up & get a life size statue outside Greggs on Central Avenue.

£100m release clause in Yates’s contract. Magnificent today.

I wasn’t born the last time Forest won a league match at Anfield. Worth the wait.

Shove your Whackathon. Here’s real cricket. Top 2 in the Champo. Everyone round the bat. Into the last 5 minutes of play. Last wicket standing. 20,000 watching on Livestream. Plum LBW. Incredible.

Remarkable #ansariwatch going on at Taunton @Jason_Cobb

Shame that @edwardscricket county reports don’t have a wider audience. A monthly sub to @TheCricketerMag though is only the price of a takeaway coffee a month. “It is September 11… Not a trophy has been won, not an issue decided. It is, perhaps, just a little wonderful.” Exactly

12th attempt at 1st innings and still only once got to 200 before 4th wicket falls for Notts this Champo season. For all the promise of McCann, this is a 2nd Division batting line up, shorn up in recent years by Duckett then Clarke.

🚴‍♂️ Wonderful fun at Tour of Britain start. The excitement of the young kids when the Ineos bus arrives. One lad stayed loyal to UnoX and got a free bottle.

A good lawyer is as valuable as a 20 goal a season striker. Football, but not as we knew it.

203 overs and just 4 byes. Plus a collection of leg side catches. Test class keeping from Verrynne

Across 2 innings v Surrey, Notts bowled spinners for 163 of the 203 overs. Over rate of +15. Remarkable.
