Peter Moores simply can\u2019t wait to take on Surrey as Nottinghamshire head to the Kia Oval for a crunch Championship clash from tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Moores, into his ninth season in the job of Green and Gold head coach, leads his side to London just one point behind the Brown Caps, who have won the title in each of the past three seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just always wanted to get to this point in the season, ahead of the game at the Oval, where it was close,\u201d said Moores.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew we had to do our bit in the game against Worcestershire and we couldn\u2019t worry too much about them, but now we\u2019ll go in there confident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d have gone in there confident anyway, we\u2019re playing good cricket and have done for a long time now and we have a lot of people playing very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old is further thrilled by the prospect of taking on Surrey at their home, one of the grand old cathedrals of English cricket.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to that game. The Oval is a great place to play with a really good cricket pitch, and you have to play well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, we are playing well, so I think it will be a really good contest!\u201d<\/p>\n

Moores also reserved specific praise for the frequent contributions made by multiple members of the team across the season thus far.<\/p>\n

In his view, the team effort that has led up to this seminal showdown is the driving factor behind why Nottinghamshire find themselves in the position they do.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe story of the season is that contributions have come from lots of different places,\u201d said Moores. \u201cIt\u2019s not been just one person, instead, everyone has chipped in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way Lyndon played at the end in Worcestershire, and Josh Tongue too; that probably summed his game up really where he had an impact at different points in the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll look back at those little incidents during that game, for example the great fielding by Haseeb Hameed, the catch by Freddie McCann, which were all significant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that match said a lot about where the team is at, but more importantly, there were moments in the match that tell you where this team is at.\u201d<\/p>\n
