@bracecricket Notts have won 993 first-class matches (counting from 1826), so repeating last year's 7 wins would bring the total of victories to 1000

CRICKET | Somerset v Notts commentary is available via the BBC Sport website, cricket page. Play scheduled to start on time at 11am at Taunton #bbccricket

@TrentBridge Seven Nottinghamshire cricketers born on 24 March: Graeme Swann 1979, Basharat Hassan 1944, Stuart Rhodes 1910, George Chambers 1884, Christopher Harrison 1847, and two on the same day in 1846: Alfred Brooks and John Oscroft.

A multitude of roles, but loyalty to only one county. Wishing our former player, Commercial Manager, and President, Basher Hassan, a very happy 82nd birthday! #OnThisDay

@dgriffinpix Hutton's 111 (not ill) was on 25 May 1946 v Leicestershire at Headingley.

@RicFinlay Sorry, Notts' last of 5 cases of two centuries in a 1 day match was 2024.

@RicFinlay Nottinghamshire have a rather different experience. Two centuries in a one-day match on 5 occasions and won all, most recent v Sussex at Welbeck in 2025.

Scoring 2 centuries in a one-day innings, as Tas did v WA yesterday doesn't guarantee victory, as Tas found out. Six times now Tas have had two 100s in an innings, but have only won 3 of them. Lost by 1 wicket to Vic in 2011, and by 7 wickets to Qld in 2014, despite 229* and 125!

@TrentBridge Record intact! No Nottinghamshire cricketer has ever been run out on 99 in a first-class match.

All's well that ends well... 💯 #NOTvWAR | #Champions25

@TrentBridge In Notts' 999 completed List A matches to date, they have won 72% when someone scored a century. Moores' is the 134th century.

A blistering century indeed🫡 Tom Moores makes his first List A Century in fine style off 69 balls, featuring 12 fours and 4 sixes! #Outlaws | 📺 f.mtr.cool/ukzpumrvwu

@TrentBridge The Tuesday fixture will be Notts' 1000th List A match; the first was in 1963. To date they have won 54% of matches at home, 45% away. #Outlaws

@DanKingdom96 If you're at Trent Bridge, please do pop into the Library, in the ticket office block behind the pavilion. Open each day of the match from the start of the lunch interval to the end of the tea interval, we have a special display of some of our Somerset books.

From the squad for the Durham match, it's Ogborne for Aldridge

Another stage in The Hundred sale, to allow new investors. Each company, eg Trent Rockets Ltd, originally issued one share, owned by ECB. That one share has now been split into 100, allowing split ownership. Except London Spirit, split into 200, and no split for N Superchargers.

@TrentBridge Last time a Notts bowler bowled 62 or more overs in an innings (as LPW did here) was in 1929, Sam Staples, also v Yorkshire at Trent Bridge: 68-11-145-2, also a drawn match

Honours even between Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, but plenty to enjoy as the Green and Golds remained top of Division One. Full Day Four highlights 👉 f.mtr.cool/bxnqyzthql #NOTvYOR

@TheCricketerMag @SharmoJourno First time that three Notts batters have been out for 33 in a first-class innings (1906, two out for 33 v Essex).

@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC @SimonCusden @redfern_dan And Akhil's elder brother Samit joined @DerbyshireCCC in 2024.

On This Day in 2007 @DerbyshireCCC had 6 first class debutants at Fenner’s. Apart from their 1st game in 1871 when all 11 made their debut, never have so many players debuted in a game for DCCC - Freddie Klokker, @OliSaff Dan Birch, @SimonCusden @redfern_dan & Akhil Patel...

@TrentBridge That's a pity. With another 8 runs Slater would have had 11 first-class centuries for Notts without ever having been out in the 90s, more than anyone else

WICKET | Slater falls for for 92. Notts 157/2. #NOTvDUR | 📺 f.mtr.cool/mrgwdsyuxx

@TheCricketerMag @CaughtAtPoint Did India compensate Pakistan for the change in arrangements?

@East_Cheam_Lad The irony is that the book* was banned as obscene! By book* I mean Lady Don't Fall Over by DarcyGlinto, which Galton and Simpson found in their sanatorium library, and adjusted the title to Lady Don't Fall Backwards for tv.

Tony: Do you mind, I'm trying to read, don't interrupt. I'm on the edge of my seat Sid: Good, is it? Tony: Good? This is red hot, this is mate. I'd hate to think of this getting into the wrong hands. As soon as I've finished it, I shall recommend they ban it! #WorldBookDay

@TheCricketerMag @huwzat Would Yorkshire wish to join in a t20 competition for non-host counties? They have no stake in a Hundred entity.

@alanhigham100 @LancsCCMG Derbyshire's Board of 10 includes 5 elected by members. Required skills and experience already built into the Rules. Definitely better than Lancashire.

@LancsCCMG At Surrey we have a General Committee who oversee the Board. In summary: Every year 4 members are elected to the GC for 4 years. You need 5 members of 2 years or more standing to nominate you. Members vote for their preferred candidate. More details: mi-nomination.com/surreyccc.

The Nominations Committee at LCCC is the concern. It's found some excellent people to serve on the Board. But it has not embraced members' requests to have two members on the Board chosen by the members from a choice of candidates. Change needed. 👇 tinyurl.com/yeywzy9r

@East_Cheam_Lad When Galton and Simpson were in the sanatorium they found the book, Lady Don't Turn Over by Darcy Glinto. It became Lady Don't Fall Backwards by Darcy Sarto in the TV programme, The Missing Page.

This is brilliant news, a new radio 4 drama about when the legendary writers of Hancock's Half Hour and Steptoe and Son, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, met in a sanatorium.

@TheCricketerMag If consistency of availability is important in selecting IPL squads, is there a lesson for English counties here?
