Friends Provident t20 preview: Nottinghamshire Outlaws

T20 pedigree Runners-up to rivals Leicestershire in 2006 on one of only two times they have progressed through the group phase. Captain David Hussey Overseas players David Hussey (Australia) Michael's younger brother will captain the Outlaws in the T20 so Chris Read can focus on his batting and keeping. Hussey starred for Australia in the ill-fated World Twenty20 final against England, making 59 to help them at least recover to post a competitive score. Dirk Nannes (Australia) Nannes was Middlesex's spearhead when they won the domestic Twenty20 cup in 2008 and was the leading wickettaker at the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean, picking up 14 scalps at 13.07 for Australia. Watch out for Ryan Sidebottom England World Cup-winner who has the vital ability to take wickets at both ends of the innings. Prospects A classy side with two superb overseas players, they will expect to escape the group with a little to spare. How they're hoping to get the punters in Have gone to extraordinary lengths filming their own movie sequence starring Samit Patel, in super-slow motion, smashing paintballs for fours and sixes for an advert called Put Some Colour in your Cricket. The ad will be shown on the replay screen during games.
