Ahmed looks great. Fantastic composure for a lad that age.

When is he due to sign for Notts, do we know?

My youngest and I watched the last couple of balls at Wembley during a break in play in the football. Great that for once we were on the right side of an incredible last ditch turnaround.

A nice piece on Scott Boswell and how he dealt with THAT over in 2001

Interesting read. Had forgotten that his career effectively ended that day. Such a shame. Hopefully, if a similar situation occurred today, the player would get more help. 
 

Was at the game and rightly or wrongly the only thing that sticks in my mind was that over. Afterwards went to a pub up the road and watched England win in Germany.

Well done. Credit where its due. Came back with a terrific last over. 

Yes, amazing effort under extreme pressure. Well played Leicestershire. Gave my two tickets to a mate as I was at Wembley, meeting up for a coffee at 11, looking forward to hearing all about it.

He's a Nottingham boy and like Azad and Mike a product of the Notts academy had a falling out at Notts and joined us when he was 14

Bizarrely we even have a chance of finishing 2nd and a home QF on Saturday (unless my maths is wrong) we obviously need to win our last 2, which gives us 9pts  and then hope the other results go our way and the rest are stuck on 8 pts.

It’s free entry down there on Bank holiday Monday.

Griffiths in ahead of Walker today.

Looks a very good crowd in down there. Barnes having a tidy little spell right now.

Somerset 5 down and it’s their top five as well: great chance here

The sixth wicket partnership already 70+

Need a wicket desperately.

Strange one really you'd think Walker would get a game if we are signing him up. Not sure what Scott Steel has to do to get a game in the RL50? Surely a better option than Rhodes?

[Voll Blau]

Been out since the fifth went down but dismaying to see we've let yet another side off the hook.

Yeah, why bring him in on loan to not play him.

Well I should have known better 

[Bert]

WTF is Griffiths playing at 

[Sunbury Fox]

This is the Warwickshire game all over again. Have the opposition on the floor and then get taken to the cleaners by 2 novices.

 

This is frankly pathetic.

I just tuned into my 1st over of the game to see GG get spenked for 2 sixes off some truly terrible bowling

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Somerset, with 5 wickets down, clubbed 118 off the last 10 overs

[CosbehFox]

The amount of times I keep reading ‘great to see insert club youngsters doing well’ when batting against Leics is getting tiresome 

[Lako42]

Holy crap, I cannot believe they have made this total.

[Lako42]

 Bartlett's 108 is the highest score by a Som #6 in list A

Don't forget they also had two novices batting. Just a disaster.

Poor old George Rhodes is a bit of a Josh Low signing really. Bizarrely the fewer runs he gets the higher up the order he goes. Scott Steel must really have blotted his copybook
