First '50 over' game i've managed this season and have to say it was very entertaining!

Some very encouraging batting performances (Sibley aside and i've made my feelings clear on him already) but still concerning issues with the bowling.

For long periods we don't seem to be able to stem the flow of runs or have real plans of attack (applies in all three comps). The crucial wicket was Patterson-White, which resulted from bowling to a plan: wide outside off stump to the bigger boundary. As a Notts fan I would be fuming with him though - absolutely no need to try and hit a six at that point and he'd massively got away with it the ball before. I think Notts win if he doesn't play that shot.

I'd have Sheikh in (good catch under pressure towards the end) for Sibley next game, push Smith up the order, and possibly rotate E Brookes out. Is Miles available or in The Hundred? I'd give Johal another go if the latter.

It's been mentioned before but the big issue seems to be coaching of the bowling - young bowlers stagnating/regressing and senior bowlers underperforming compared to last year. The only bowler having a better season than last is OHD, who was excellent again yesterday.
