Peter Moores: Nottinghamshire must ‘hold nerve’ to clinch County Championship title

Earlier in the season, Moores said it took a “marathon” mindset to turn Notts into title contenders after narrowly avoiding relegation last season.

If Notts go on to win their first title since 2010, it will be the seventh time in 125 seasons of County Championship cricket that they have done so.

For Moores, it would be a monumental achievement as he would be the first head coach to lead three different clubs to the title – having already done so with Sussex in 2003 and Lancashire in 2011.

The former England head coach, who guided Nottinghamshire to promotion as Division Two champions in 2022, said any history he makes “would be a fantastic feeling”.

But it is far as he would go, deflecting praise to those that surround him and the players that have delivered six wins and suffered only one defeat in the four-day game this season.

“What I do know about winning the Championship, as I’ve done before at other clubs, is that it is a collective effort,” Moores said.

“It’s borne out of lots of different things. You have to look at what goes on in your youth set-up, you look at how things are structured, you have looked at the team and build it.

“And we have been through a big journey.”
