Chris Nash top-scored for Notts yesterday with 67, before being caught behind off Harry Podmore's bowling - but he was left unhappy with his dismissal after a rather unusual incident.
As Podmore came in to bowl, a white towel fell from his waistband behind him. Nash played the ball and was caught by wicket-keeper Ollie Robinson, but reacted angrily to being given out, gesticulating to the umpire about the towel, which he clearly felt had distracted him.
“It was a real shame for Chris to get out at the end like that. It was a funny one, in that a towel flew out of the bowler’s pocket, so he’ll be disappointed but can take a lot of credit in how he played,” said head coach Peter Moores.
“We were asking the question there, at the end, on what happens in incidents like that. Does it become a dead ball or not, as it was certainly a distraction. We’ll ask the umpires about it at the end but it’s unfortunate for Chris.”
in all seriousness, fingers crossed we dont get skittled out again, heard the pitch is providing assistance to the bowlers. pattinson could be very dangerous

Gutted for him
I had one like that last weekend; first time it happened it was behind me so the ball stood, but soon after the towel fell out just as he bowled and I called dead ball immediately. Really, Nash should have pulled away and not hit the ball...
