At least this new bloke WIDE is scoring at a run a ball...........

Both openers gone to that world class spinner....Parkinson

Trap set and both walk straight into it hook, line & sinker

ETA Make that 3 with Ali now giving his wicket away for 0

Just so poor and I like him as a batsman but Davies is never a captain in a thousand years. I wish he'd just concentrate on batting or keeping, he's not up to doing all 3!!

Agree, this is another one of our problems that has not been fixed.

Barnard should take over captaincy.

Terrible stuff, probably the worst 20 overs of bowling I have seen from the Bears.

I wasn't particularly looking forward to this season with some of the players that have left but I at least thought we might have a more joined up recruitment plan.

Notts stank the T20 out last season and are without some of their traditional better players but they could put the 16 year olds on against this attack.

How unprofessional and disorganised are we?

Where on earth have we got this tub of lard from?

It is bad enough seeing Miles line up to bowl & then Garton has just lost the plot but we must have better players than this Sylvester guy.

Recruitment once again disgraceful.

Interesting to note that the Surrey co-commentator chirping on about the pitch being potentially chosen to stop Surrey getting wickets and constantly banging on about how talented Surrey are.

You then put the BBC website on, go to the cricket page and we hardly get a mention.

Of course if we end up with an unlikely win, it will be solely down to the fact that Surrey have had call ups & injuries without any mention of 4 or 5 players that we have missing.

Great win, bowled with discipline throughout & batted really well in the 2nd innings in difficult conditions.

Hopefully Webster will settle in with the ball in hand because his batting could be really handy, press the accelerator when needed or pump a few over the boundary to counter attack.

The ball that got Davies was unplayable but he & Yates set us up nicely.

We are as brittle as biscuits with this line up.

I would be pretty surprised if we get near Yorks total

EDA

Got away with it as Yates snaffles Root!!

Oh dear me

What a drop from Davies..........Root as well.

Really, really bad, game changing bad.

phew..........Smith managed to keep that one stuck in!

And 2 chances to gain a run out...........what a mess

I am not knocking Kai Smith as he is making his breakthrough but that was poor keeping there..........easy chance to his right to snaffle Bess.

You cant be missing chances like that, it was only a couple of feet away from him.

Better bowling now, straighter, closer to the stumps and decent enough length to make the batsmen think

Our bowling is awful, all of them are loose.

Where did this Fernando bloke come from? I reckon he has pinched someone's passport

Conditions are not massively different, yes the sun is popping in and out but pitch is still green & offering some movement and overhead conditions are still changeable.

Just typing as Barnard's 1st ball is slammed for 6. We don't have the menace in our attack unless Booth can get some extra zip to defend a poor total.

Notts bowling lines were very good. So far, Bamber has gone too full, too short, too wide & down leg side. Barnard bowled too short in his first.......OHD gets a pass as it is his first game back.

We may as well go down swinging here and get Notts in whilst the conditions suit bowling

Nobody is going to last for too many shots by the looks of it so just go for it

Mouseley's shot had nowt to do with the pitch, very poor in bad conditions

Well done to the lower middle order and tailenders !

This, could turn out to be an important win. Booth & then Bamber controlled those late overs really well.

If we show this amount of fight during the season, it will take us through a few matches but there are some lessons to be learned from the matches so far.

1 bad shot after another

eta - This will be done by Tea........maybe they all fancy less journey time next season with shorter trips to Northants, Worcs, Leics & Derbys?
