In the first of a new series ahead of each Rothesay County Championship match of the 2025 summer, we are offering you the chance to put your Nottinghamshire knowledge to the test.

Before every round of fixtures in this year’s Championship, you will be challenged to name a Green and Gold line-up from a memorable game against each 2025 opponent.

First up, it’s a relatively recent affair to recall, with the 2022 Division Two-title-sealing game against Durham.

 

1. Left-handed batter

Opener with an enviable List A record who joined Nottinghamshire from neighbours Derbyshire in 2019.

2. Right-handed batter

Fellow opener who has played 10 Tests for England and would go on to be named Nottinghamshire captain a little over a year after this match.

3. Right-handed batter

South African-born top-order batter and occasional off-spinner who made his career-best score of 178 in this match.

4. Right-handed batter

Classy top-order operator, with a sumptuous cover drive to boot, and captain of the Outlaws in T20 cricket.

5. Right-handed batter, right-arm fast-medium bowler

Nottinghamshire Academy graduate who hit his maiden career First-Class century against Durham earlier in 2022.

6. Right-handed batter, right-arm medium-fast bowler

Recently-retired veteran of more than 180 First-Class matches who was Nottinghamshire captain for six seasons.

7. Left-handed batter, wicket-keeper

Globetrotting gloveman with lightning-fast hands who recently signed a white-ball only contract with Nottinghamshire.

8. Left-arm off-spin bowler, left-handed batter

Another Academy graduate who claimed one of his five-wicket hauls away to Durham earlier in 2022.

9. Right-arm fast-medium bowler, left-handed batter

One of the greatest seamers England has ever produced, who made a near-perfect departure from Test cricket following the Ashes in 2023.

10. Right-arm medium-fast bowler

A larger-than-life, unerringly popular stalwart seam bowler who retired in 2024 after 17 seasons with Nottinghamshire.

11. Right-arm fast-medium bowler

Overseas seamer who claimed 50 Championship wickets in each of his first three seasons in Green and Gold.
