Nottinghamshire

Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club is one of the 18 first-class county clubs that make up English and Welsh domestic cricket, playing the majority of their home games at Trent Bridge. The county's limited overs team is called the Nottinghamshire Outlaws. The formal creation of Nottinghamshire CCC was enacted in March or April 1841. Nottinghamshire have won six County Championships in their lifetime, most recently in 2010. The club's most recent trophy came in the 2013 ECB 40-over competition. Former England wicket-keeper Chris Read has been the Nottinghamshire captain since 2007.  

Notts were one of the dominant forces in English cricket before 1900, winning five outright and six shared county championships. The presence of legendary England bowlers Harold Larwood and Bill Voce saw Notts re-establish themselves as a power in the game between the wars, leading the county to the 1929 County Championship. 

The signing of the Australian leg break bowler Bruce Dooland brought an end to a disappointing few years for the county, although it took until the arrival of Garfield Sobers in 1968 before the Notts fans were given something to shout about. Sobers famously hit Malcolm Nash of Glamorgan for six sixes in an over in a County Championship game in his first season. 

Nottinghamshire ended a near 60-year wait to win a County Championship in 1981, with New Zealand all-rounder Richard Hadlee, South African captain Clive Rice and England batsman Derek Randall leading the team to the title. The club's most successful season came in 1987, with Notts clinching the double by winning the County Championship and NatWest Trophy in Hadlee and Rice's final seasons with the club. While Chris Broad and Tim Robinson continued the club's tradition of providing strong batsmen for England, Notts struggled to repeat their achievements from earlier in the decade, although the club did win a Benson & Hedges Cup in 1989.
 
The following decade was one of disappointment and underachievement for the club, having to wait until 2004 before winning another trophy, winning Division Two and gaining promotion to the County Championship Division One. 

In 2005, Nottinghamshire won their first County Championship title since 1987, with New Zealand's Stephen Fleming leading the club to the title. The club's sixth County Championship came in 2010, sealing victory on the last day ahead of Somerset.
