What a great win from that position.

Absolute gem of a knock from Yates - I really doubted him in T20 but he's made a big difference since coming into the side.

I just worry that Hassan is going to be a major loss.

BBC says we're behind the DLS but hasn't said what it is - anyone know?

The more I see of Barnard the less I'm convinced

12 extras out of Notts first 17 runs!!

Update - 13 out of 18

Four down now, and not looking good.

I didn't manage to watch much yesterday but the pitch doesn't look that easy to bat on from what i've seen today!

Hundreds from Rhodes, Barnard and Burgess incoming?

Re Davies - I have been a critic, and still have reservations about his batting.

But cannot question his T20 captaincy so far, he seems very well suited to the role. Rubs a few up the wrong way but gets results.

And his bowling changes (Brookes aside) are logical and effective

Great win. Mousley is stellar player, a potential superstar.
My concern is how we replace Hassan and potentially Woakes in the knockouts. They both showed such quality tonight. Compared to the Pears pace bowlers who went around the park.
We will have to bring a bowler of international class in otherwise we are relying on Brookes. OHD should have a go for one of the spots.

Absolutely agree - we were one player off our best XI tonight (Hain) but not sure what we do when we don't have Hassan/Woakes.

I fear our QF XI won't be as strong as what we have now, don't know how we fix that.

But Mousley is genuine quality, best homegrown player since Woakes.

What do we do/where does Brookes go from here?

We've fallen away massively at the end there, hopefully still have enough but that's a gettable total.

Yates really struggled at the end there. There were THREE balls that would've been wides had he left them.

Edit - just seen your post Exiled, I counted three wides.

Yet another reverse sweep/scoop leading to Maxwell wicket

Say more negative things about him please Exiled

To add to that he was picked by London Spirit in the Hundred, so my expectation would be that he'll stay in the UK from now until the end of that.

Although not sure his current form warrants a Hundred place...

That's a whole seam attack at Worcester!

Although I don't agree with 'bigger' clubs constantly snapping up players from 'smaller' clubs, i'm not sure how you necessarily prevent it and if we want to keep pace with Surrey, we should be looking at some of these players.

Thank goodness for Bethell

3 of the 4 wickets have been reverse sweeps!

This happened in another game earlier this season, don't we learn!

And two excellent pieces of fielding on the boundary by Lintott!

Gone away from us at the end there - Turner played a great innings tbf but our bowling didn't necessarily help.

That's a defendable score when it could've been a cruise.

Have to hope the reason they struggled was cause we bowled well up front rather than a tricky wicket. Excellent from Ali in particular who will be a big miss.

Yeah, Bethell has to play going forward even when Hain returns. On current form you would say Benjamin drops out.

Even though Woakes should be available to play for us if he isn't playing for England, I'm not expecting him to be available at any point.

I said before a loss may help us find a better formula that gives us more chance of winning the competition and we are starting to get closer to finding our best formula, but the seamers are still an issue. Not sure Barnard offers a fat lot in this format, and then we still have the conundrum of Brookes/Miles.

But a good win with some tricky fixtures ahead. I would say 3 wins from the last 5 gets us through, and 4 wins gets us a home QF.

Was a slightly strange declaration, I get the idea but surely we wanted to amass as many runs as possible.

I also noticed that Ethan Brookes was 12th man, there was another lad with him as well who I didn't recognise, anyone know if he's also one of ours?
