I know it's a hackneyed saying, but "dropped catches cost matches".

Josh Tongue has signed for Nottinghamshire for next season.

Dillon Pennington and England's Josh Tongue will both join Nottinghamshire's seam-bowling battery of homegrown heroes and international stars ahead of the 2024 season.

I don't know if its just me but calling players signed from elsewhere "homegrown heroes" is a bit of a stretch.

oh.

 

[Del Woppio]

Fucking hell

We’re going to be mowed down for about 150 aren’t we? Just fuck off

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's good bowling again. Not a magic delivery but difficult to face when you're starting again.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

All out for under 100 you heard it here first.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Not much different to the chances we created, they just rarely put them down

 

[Carrotdude]

Great analysis from Butcher - you can leave so many here due to height - that’s not in our game though!

 

[jd1981]

This is the difference they taking their chances in the field if we’d taking 2 of the ones we put down yesterday they would’ve only got 150ish and we’d be well in the game already.

 

[Wolftone]

Pathetic Bairstow.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Horrible shot that.

 

[jd1981]

Dreadful start to the day very similar vibes to last Friday. We’re in deep shit at the moment as we can’t string together any partnerships.

 

[jd1981]

There’s being positive and there’s playing reckless tripe.

 

[Carrotdude]

He’s been an absolute liability all series

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Can't blame everything on Barney Rubble.

 

[Mel Evo]

Hard not to be seduced by the thought that boldness has tipped over to dogma with both team and shot selection. That could be resolved without compromising your principles.

 

[Wolftone]

He’s been an absolute liability all series

Other than dropping simple catches, missing stumpings, wandering aimlessly out of his crease and batting like a complete moron he's had quite a good series.

 

[WsWolf]

Think it's clear we are absolutely no match for these, they are better than us in every area. Some of it is self inflicted, by selectors (no proper WK and a retired spinner) and some is our own rank stupidity but even without those things going wrong I doubt we'd be able to win a series against them.
