Cricket At Trent Bridge - 20/20 Quarter Final Match Report

Having lost the toss and finding themselves having to bat first, Notts Outlaws set a seemingly uninspiring total of 141 from their 20 overs for Sussex to chase. The crowd of nearly 9,000 were tense and subdued by the visitors' reply, who at 64 runs for the loss of only 1 wicket, seemed to be cruising. I remember commenting at the time from the stands, 'Sussex seem to be doing just enough to win'. But then Notts bowlers Steven Mullaney and Samit Patel began to turn the tide, with runs hard to come by and the pressure increasing on the batsmen to score more quickly. The rewards were to follow, as the wickets finally began to fall. The home supporters cheered on the pace bowling of Nannes, Sidebottom and Pattinson who built on the hard work of Mullaney and Patel, with some excellent fielding and great catching in deep positions as the batsmen tried to score fours and sixes to keep their run chase alive. As the match drew to a close it became clear that roars of support for every dot ball would no longer be required, as the required score per over went into double figures and continued to rise. In the end Sussex could only manage to chalk up 128 runs for the loss of 7 wickets and Notts progressed to Finals Day at the Rose Bowl in August - an excellent evening's entertainment for the majority of the cricket fans who were at Trent Bridge on Monday.
