Come on County !!!

Looks like County have blown this.
Should have made 200 from the position they were in.
Notts need 45 off 4.4 overs.
 
Lost by 1 wicket !!!!

A game that slipped through their fingers.
Scoring over 100 without losing a wicket and then ending with just 188 wasn't enough.
200 should have been a minimum from the strong start they made

Disappointed with that.one.

Kimber who is a destructive batter doesnt even get in. Strange bowling choices as well, maybe should have brought Van Beek back a bit earliet to see if he could shift the set batsmen.

I agree it looked like they were light by about 20 to 30 on a ground with such a small boundary though Ahmed & Masood went at pretty much 12 an over once together. Not sure I would have Kimber send himself in in front of those two at the time.

Despite this though ultimately they bowled better than us. Not for the first time this season our fast bowlers don't currently have the control & variation required to stop runs when they are flowing in this form of the game and were easy meat allowing Notts to use the pace of the ball (as I say, this is becoming a recurring theme). Both Trevaskis & Kimber bowl to get wickets by floating the ball up more but sometimes need to fire it in (Kimber managed a maiden in his 3 but still went at nearly 9 an over). And why Scriven only got 2 overs today I just don't understand.

Nearly escaped too but for what looked like a mis-judgement in the field at the end and (was it?) a failure by Cox to gather the throw so destroying the stumps without the ball (?). Also... note to Ahmed & Masood, probably best in a limited overs game to run rather than stand & admire the shot just in case it doesn't reach the rope.
