By Brian Sanderson,
The fixtures have fallen right this week to enable me to visit another beautiful ground. Today was Trent College which is in Long Eaton in Nottingham.The match was Nottingham Seconds against Yorkshire in two 20/20 fixtures. Whilst they were freezing in Durham the sun shone all day at this ground.
Yorkshire batted first after losing the toss.They started well against a weak Nottingham attack. After 10 overs the score was 72 for 2.Geldart, Gibson and Waite were the main scorers. How ever they never did not push on the scoring rate and finished on 145 for 6.
Walking round in the interval, there was a concert stage been erected for the evening half term concert.
There were at least six ground staff to look after the square. Many grounds would wish they had this number of staff to look after their ground.
Yorkshire started well taking four wickets for 42 and Waite and Warner were the two best bowlers.At this stage Yorkshire must have fancy their chances to win the match. However they made to many errors.
Gibson ,bowled a no ball which bowled a batsman . So on the seventh ball the ball went to the boundary.Thompson had to be taken off when he bowled two head high full tosses.Nottingham reached the target with an over to spare.
I would recommend cricket watcher to visit this ground.
