Hussey stars, but Notts fall short

Thu, 17 June 2010

David Hussey's 81 not out off 42 balls wasn't enough to stop Nottinghamshire suffering its first defeat of the Friends Provident t20 season against Warwickshire overnight.

The 32-year-old's innings included eight 4s and two 6s, but he didn't have much support as the Outlaws finished their 20 overs at 6-176.

Even with fellow DEC Bushrangers Darren Pattinson and Dirk Nannes leading the attack, Notts couldn't stop Warwickshire getting the runs with five wickets in hand and seven balls to spare.

Nottinghamshire, which has won it's opening four matches, takes on Derbyshire tonight, while Clint McKay's Yorkshire hosts Lancashire.
