How the injured chaps are doing
Andy Miller (torn side-muscle) should resume bowling on Monday and be available for the three-day friendly against Durham UCCE starting on June 11.
Rikki Clarke (broken hand) will see a consultant next Wednesday but is probably at least another two weeks away from a return.
Naqaash Tahir, who has been troubled by a sore back and groin, is fit and available.
Darren Maddy will have surgery on his snapped cruciate ligament on July 1.
Must-win game for the Bears tomorrow. Time to give Bell a bowl and Tahir his long-awaited Twenty20 debut.



I hope when he gets his chance Naqaash can perform as we all know he can. He does not have much time to impress before contract negotiations take place.

Hi Jane. I know I'm pretty much the last person left with any patience in N.T but I refuse to give up and just wonder if it's worth throwing him in against Notts in the championship. He's a wicket-taking bowler and might take 6-43 and 8-91 for match figures of 14 for 134.
Brian, whats happend to you? Wheres all this new-found optimism in NT come from? I guess we've tried everyone else so we may as well give him a game tomorrow. As for playing against Notts. I personally would give Anyon a game against Notts. A bit more pace and bounce than Tahir and unless you saying he should replace Woakes.
I personally would pick Barker against Notts.
That should of been today but what day is it anyway
Good call, Paul. Barker probably deserves a championship game. There's a case for Anyon too.
I just get the feeling N.T is like a coiled spring...
