Preview and squad here: https://edgbaston.com/fixtures/first-xi/notts-outlaws-vs-bears-30th-may-2025/#match-match-previews
I hope Miles is only there as cover as he shouldn't be anywhere near our first eleven. I'd prefer the new bloke Sylvester if we needed an extra bowler.
Seems a bit light in the batting to me.
At a guess:
Davies
Latham
Yates
Hain
Barnard
Shaikh
Smith
Garton
Briggs
Lintott
Bamber
No idea which of the 3 options will keep. All eleven can bat but we really lack power hitters.
No mention of Moeen Ali. Is he available? Does he even want to play?
He is contracted to us until July. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/czjed1rnwejo
Has to be one of the weakest squads we have begun a T20 campaign with. Bears fans have been sold a pup.
It’s being so cheerful that keeps us going.

Especially when we need him more than ever since he re-signed!

Yeah could do with Ali and Mousley back ASAP
Notts win the toss and elect to bowl.
Davies *+
Latham
Yates
Hain
Smith
Barnard
Garton

Miles
Lintott
Sylvester
That line up.. worries me
We need to put a big total on the board given that Trent Bridge is the best batting surface in the country these days. Why Miles over Bamber? He will be smashed all over Nottingham.
Didn't realise that the match was on YouTube. Result.
12-2 usual tactics of relying on Sam Hain
All winter to plan...
Yes, who could have seen this coming..?!
Do love watching Hain in T20s..class above
Good recovery to end the powerplay, feel like we can’t lose too many more wickets for a while though
Good opportunity for Barnard this season to cement a place

Bamber only played 7 t20's for one of the record breakingly bad t20 performing counties so...
It's incredible to think Benjamin played all those games and Barnard didn't.
Good knock from Davies too which will have annoyed many I'm sure...
