Notts in the 2 day red ball Friendly in Abu Dhabi.
A good first day.

"The Bears and the (footballing) Foxes for ever !"
First wicket falls on the 8th ball of the innings, 6-1, and the second on the last ball of the 7th over, 34-2.
Yet another example of the openers failing and putting presure on the middle order.
For the second game in a row the only dismissal not available as a video clip is Davies, are his dismissals so bad that they have to be censored?

Confirmed - behind closed doors.
Going pretty well in Abu Dhabi, Notts currently 166-11, replying to the Bears 356-9!

Your commitment to driving this narrative is incredible. Fair play.
I suggest you watch the video, that has now appeared, of Davies's dismissal. It wasn't a good shot, and not appropriate for the situation.
We established at the end of last season that our opening partnership is actually statistically one of the best of any county
As Mark Twain said, never let facts get in the way of a good story.

Yes, 2nd best after Surrey.
Someone just doesn't like Davies. I'm not convinced by his captaincy yet but his stats last season as a batsman were very decent.
