Nottinghamshire Facts and Feats
- Nottinghamshire fielded in lounge suits, rather than whites, on the final day against Hampshire at Southampton in May 1930. The home side had needed just one run for a five wicket victory when the extra half hour ended on the second evening but Notts captain A.W. Carr refused to play on. Notts took to the field the next morning in 'civvies', with Barratt and Voce wearing overcoats, and Kennedy hit the winning runs off Voce's second ball.
- George Gunn and his son G.V. Gunn scored centuries in Notts' innings against Warwickshire at Edgbaston in 1931, thanks to the home side agreeing to extend play for a couple of overs. George finally retired at the age of 53 in 1932 after being hit on the head by an Alf Gover beamer.
