Makes it all even more curious.

Could just be that he’s not 100% fit after injuring himself in the last game so they didn’t want to risk him playing and making it a lot worse?

Why are we bowling so short when it clearly isn’t working?

Desperately need wickets now.

It’s a shame Garlick wasn’t playing at the same time as Onions and Mustard.

Northants have been quite lucky so far.

I thought that the gaps in the crowd were because fans of the two beaten semi-finalists wouldn't necessarily stay for the Final. But the short gap between the quarters and Finals Day can't have helped.
It would be interesting to know what the Club has to say about ticket sales - how close was it to a sell-out?

It was officially a sell out, at least according to the Edgbaston social media.

Incredible that out of the three of them (Stokes, McCullum, Key) that Key is the only one to survive. He should have been the first to go.

We’d need a lot of results to go our way now

I think second place is still within reach - we play Glamorgan and Gloucestershire next, and then Glamorgan again. If we win all three then we’ll be close

These two big wins have done wonders to our NRR!

Webster is going to be a huge miss in both comps, which is testament to how good an overseas signing he has been. Given our record with overseas has been pretty poor over the years we have to give the club a lot of credit for this one.

Ive been hugely impressed with him, this season and last season, and he seems to be popular amongst the group. I'd definitely have him back again.

Agreed. He received his cap before the Worcestershire game as well which further emphasises how popular he seems in the squad

Could do with a big win to help the net run rate

Making a real mess of this

Certainly seems like it’s all to play for in the second half of the season with the top six teams separated by just 11 points!

Gregory, Smeed and Abell confirmed out. Kohler-Cadmore and Lammonby have late fitness tests.

Put up a pretty good fight in the end, felt we were a little unlucky with a couple of their shots at the end which could easily have chopped on.

Getting to the point where we’d have to win every game to qualify now you’d think.

Incredible grab. Two caught and bowled in one over!

Notts have a lot of left handers don’t they!

To be fair I think we mainly signed Thompson for the championship. He’s playing now because of our availability issues

I’ll look into it. Might not be for a few days though!

I can understand throwing the bat a bit in the powerplay, trying to get a fast start while the field is up, but as soon as we lost a couple of wickets we needed to rein it in. Should be easy enough to score 5-6 an over outside the powerplay with little risk.
