Didn't know they'd signed Kuggelijn? When was this?

I can't find the squad

Hants have been a shambles with the bat but have an extremely potent bowling attack led by Kyle Abbott.

For us Manav Suthar is available after Test duty. This will rule Michael Booth ineligible for selection hence him playing for the 2's today. Kai Smith you'd think will be keeping hence his absence from the 2's.

Expect a result wicket, with potentially some turn on offer.

There's a couple of clues here into how we may line up in Southampton

What's getting said?

I don’t know what time they forfeited but perhaps they approach the referee to suggest that wanted to get a result.

Having followed their game (admittedly via cricinfo), I can't see how that could have been the case. Curious one.

Well Middlesex will get sanctioned then surely?

Ok, fair one.

Why haven't we declared? Why can't we declare?

I know, its just been an unbelievable drop off, 3rd highest run scorer in the division in 2024 and named in the PCA team of the year, our highest run scorer in the Blast in 2025...to this. Its remarkable.

And, sadly, some supporters have revelled in his demise.

Davo :(

That looked a poor decision on Mousley.

Yes, at times Russell would stand almost side by side with the batter and have the fielder throw the ball in, I remember a batter getting hit on one occasion in a televised game.

Still very good isn't he, Olly Stone...

Wondering if Notts cut their nose of to spite their face there.

They could easily have got 25 runs.

As for Alleyne I remember him and Russell cheating against us at Lord’s. I was so angry I wrote to the ECB Head of OPs and had a reasonable letter back!

Remind me about that one.

The games was decided D/L with Warwickshire so on top Donald got man of the match despite being in the losing team.

Presentation was made in bright sunshine when they could have easily kept playing. There was some archaic regulation that it had to be finished by a certain time (mainly so away teams could travel back earlier in the competition)

It was the quickest I have ever seen Donald bowl. His best ever spell for us and he was really fired up and gesticulating to our supporters.

During the rain delay alleyne and Russell desperately trying to get I abandoned with then ahead on D/L

Remember it, game went into the reserve day, Donald came on first change and had figures of 6-2-7-2, id never seen him quite so pumped up and he was always pumped up when playing for us.

I kinda feel as though it's could have got the extra 25 without losing another wicket, Sheat looked handy and Stone is an ok bat, and then still got amongst us. We've nothing to gain here from a Warwickshire perspective other than trying to not get out!

I assume Notts thinks there is time enough for them to get a few bowling points. Possibility a chance staying dry until late afternoon.

I understand that, just looking at it from our perspective.

Its hooping and seaming, Notts will fancy 6 wickets here youd think.

Nothing to gain here. Is the weather gonna hold long enough for us to get enough runs to get batting points?
