It is interesting that the Notts openers contributed about 2500 championship runs this season, above 1200 more than our regular combination.
That difference has a number of effects, less pressure on the middle order, so they are coming in to face an older ball and bowlers who have already bowled for several overs, more rest time for our bowlers, so they will be fresher when they are needed to bowl, it improves the confidence of the whole side, by having longer inning pressure in increased on the opposition and they are expending more energy by being in the field longer.

I feel that replacing one, if not both, the regular openers is essentisal before next sesason.

Ian Westwood was appointed way too late to make any major changes before the season, so should not be judged just on this season, he should be allowed the winter to sign the players he wants, make changes to the style of play and the leadership group and get the team playing the way he wants.

It is essential that a change of captain is made, the current post holder is a poor leader, has too much influence of the composition of the team and his individual performances set an abysmal example to the rest of the team.
