Here's a little something to keep you engaged over the Christmas period. We've unearthed a cricketing crossword from an old edition of Trent Bridge Monthly.
It's just for fun but see how you get on. The solution will be available on nottsccc.co.uk after Trent Bridge reopens in the New Year.
All the staff and players at Notts would like to wish supporters and members a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
