Mitch Starc bagged 2 hatricks in the same shield game! Ominous signs!

[Arthur Crabtree]

The NSW attack is the Aussie Test attack! Looking at the positive, WA were 179-0. On the other hand, they lost 10-44.

The Last Mitch took only one wicket apart from his hat tricks. That's not so good.

I think Jones must be onto something there. Something must be going wrong in the early years of development and his explanations make sense.

Steven Mullaney named as Nottinghamshire's new club captain

[Durhamfootman]

will it affect his form? He's had 2 or 3 years of great consistency.... will that change?

I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up under bowling himself (arguably Chris Read already under bowled him to an extent), which could be a blow for Notts. Difficult enough to juggle two roles, across multi-formats, let alone three.

[Durhamfootman]

equally he might overbowl himself as well. A misplaced desire to lead the way as it were. Then again... Notts have just poached another all rounder, so you may very well be right

An injury prone all-rounder to replace a fit all-rounder of the same age in Hutton. Given Footit is also injury prone and both Broad and Ball could have England commitments, Notts could well struggle next season.

we can only hope

Matt Prior wants the Sussex job apparently..

Dizzy's reason for leaving Yorkies looking a bit hollow after a post at Kent last year and now a long term Sussex appointment.

Quite a considerable u-turn, I can only put it to Gillespie wanting an equivalent or bigger role back in Australia but opportunities have not quite presented themselves.

Anthony McGrath elevated to Head Coach of Essex and is on the lookout for an assistant head bowling coach.

A shrewd appointment, maybe he will get in touch with Ryan Sidebottom or Darren Gough for the role.

Is Goughie still involved in the game?
