There's still a side of me that thinks that it's a waste of his talents to give cricket up so young, it's not as if he had something specific to do instead, and if he wasn't called up for England he'd have all winter to do other stuff anyway

I agree with you when so many of us would kill just to have the chance. But I can see why of your heart is not longer in it, the daily effort would quickly become a chore. And of you aren't enjoying it you will never be at your best.
We announced a squad of 14 yesterday. I expect us to line up
Roy Stoneman Sanga Borthwick Foakes Pope Sam Tom Batty Rampaul Dernbach
Meaker/Sibley to miss out and it's a shootout between Borthwick Burns and Pope. Borthwick is 6th bowler so will play. Between burns and Pope for the last spot. I'd go pope as he's been much better in this format this year. They may stick with the experience of Burns.
Notts have a very strong tea. Including Hales Broad and Samit Patel in the form of his life. Gonna be tough to beat them.

Good luck to him.
415-6
472-6 - we're scoring quickly.
516-7, and we've declared. Sangakkara finishes on 180 not out off 183 balls.
What an innings for him to stand at the other end and watch.
11-1
27-1

Let's hope the dropped catches prove costly
Roy the man out
What a season he's having.
