Notts 103 for 1.
Our seamers taking a pasting.

Yeah Trotty back but i fear for this game - i think the side somewhat lopsided with only 4/5 batsmen
Chopra, Porterfield, Trott, Hain, Ambrose, Woakes, Clarke, Barker, Patel, Wright and Rankin
99-1 21.3 overs bowled not looking too good
Jacques 53
Hales 23
103-1 another 4

Basil D'Oliveira:

Kind of proves what he had to try and live up to as when I even reference his passing away I call him by his late father's name.

It should, of course, read Damian D'Oliveira.

Lunch...wicket off the last ball
Jacques Ct Ambrose b Trott 79

 Clark WS complaining about the ball to the umpire and was getting quite irate. He did it in the last game too.
One thing for sure is that it was getting pounded into advertising hoardings on a regular basis.

[adrenachrome]

Woakes and Chopra moaning about the ball now. Looks like they ate finally changing it.
Notts 193 for 2 off 37.

[adrenachrome]

Woakes has it seaming and swinging now, so they had a point.
196 for 2

[adrenachrome]

Rankin on in the 43rd over to loud ironic cheers. The natives are getting restless.
