April 27, Hampshire vs Nottinghamshire - County Championship
A few days ago Nottinghamshire fell rather cheaply to Derbyshire in a game they probably should have won thanks to a poor 2nd innings score of 155. We should prove too talented for this Nottinghamshire squad, who have generally looked much better in the National League than the County Championship. Weather is expected to be fine for the first two days, overcast on the third, and the chance of a late shower in the final day.
Only change in our lineup is Halstead in for Laraman in an attempt to get more experience for our young all-rounder.
