There's plenty of talent but they're not playing to potential and various factors coming into play haven't helped us.<br /><br />Mark - Trent Bridge is a Test ground with massive investment in drainage. Remember the 10-over game there last year? They'd never have got on at Derby. Weather conditions can vary within a few miles too. I recall getting soaked at Chesterfield once and it was dry five miles outside the town!Peakfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328174919897893268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-27935586321159514252014-05-25T13:12:08.460+01:002014-05-25T13:12:08.460+01:00How on earth have Notts managed a full mornings pl...How on earth have Notts managed a full mornings play, whilst we haven't even started. Surely the weather can't be that much different between the two counties?marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-92199518274364318842014-05-24T22:13:34.218+01:002014-05-24T22:13:34.218+01:00I disagree with mark, who says it looks a poor sid...I disagree with mark, who says it looks a poor side. There is talent in it, but we need a partnership , a long partnership to ignite the season and give the whole side a lift. For that reason I hope we bat first and post a total. Peakfan is right, we must move on afresh and go for it - sensibly but positively from the start and hope we get a break or two because I do think we have had some rough luck so far , with the weather and other very unfortunate issues.

The weather for the first two days looks reasonable enough.<br /><br />It is imperitive we keep ourselves firmly in the game,either by bowling Gloucestershire out for under 300,or preferably scoring that sort of total ourselves and being in a position to apply some genuine pressure on the visitors.<br /><br />This is an important game for us and if it ends in another defeat,then in terms of achieving anything tangible,even the most optimistic will have little choice but to re appraise their expectations.Marcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-19838753404211123962014-05-24T18:21:48.118+01:002014-05-24T18:21:48.118+01:00Gutted for Derby today and a total travesty that Q...Gutted for Derby today and a total travesty that QPR won, with one shot on target all game. Cruel game at times is football. That Derbyshire side looks so poor Peakfan, and I really do think we're now destined for the bottom half of the table. There really is very little quality in the side.marknoreply@blogger.com
