It would be a near-unprecedented achievement in English domestic cricket, but that has not stopped Alex Hales and his team-mates dreaming.
Only one County Club, Warwickshire, has won three trophies in one season when they won the County Championship, Sunday League and Benson and Hedges Cup in the 1994 season, with the help of Brian Lara as overseas player.
The Bears almost carried off all four trophies on offer to them, only to lose in the final of the NatWest Trophy to Worcestershire.
Fast-forward 23 years, during which times have changed, and Nottinghamshire and the Notts Outlaws have been fighting for honours on three fronts – in 50-over, 20-over and four-day cricket.
“Of course there is talk about a possible treble in the dressing room, but we know we can’t get ahead of ourselves.”
They have already secured the Royal London One-Day Cup after victory over Surrey at Lord’s in July and are two games away from doing a white-ball double should they defeat Hampshire in Saturday’s T20 Blast Finals Day semi-final and then go on to beat either Glamorgan or the Birmingham Bears in the final.
With Notts well placed at the top of Division Two of the Specsavers County Championship too, a hat-trick of silverware is tantalising within their grasp.
That’s not escaped the notice of a 28-year-old Hales, who would love to take a further step this weekend towards turning lofty ambitions into a reality.
“Of course there is talk about a possible treble in the dressing room – it would be stupid if we weren’t talking about it,” says Hales.
“We know we can’t get ahead of ourselves, but our aim at the start of a season is to be heavily involved in all three competitions, and, at this point in the season, having already won the one-day cup and going well in Division Two, we are in just about the best spot we could be.
“If we perform in the two games we have left, and keep things going in the Championship, then there’s no reason why we couldn’t do it.”
“We’re really looking forward to Saturday because the guys at the back end of the campaign have been brilliant. I think we are about as confident as we ever have been in our T20 campaign this year.”
Hales has certainly played his part in Notts’ qualification for the final four, earned by topping the North Division Group and then seeing off Somerset by five wickets in a home quarter-final at Trent Bridge.
The powerhouse right-hander has smashed his way to 485 runs from 14 innings at an average of 37.30 in this year’s Blast with a phenomenal strike rate of 206.38 – comfortably the best in the competition.
“Personally (this season) I think it’s been the best I’ve ever played in T20 cricket.”
It also ranks him eighth best in terms of run scorers, with opening partner Riki Wessels, who has 492 runs, one of the few above him.
Hales adds: “Personally I think it’s been the best I’ve ever played in T20 cricket domestically, and it’s great that it’s been back in a block format.
“I’ve been able to focus much of my time and skills on T20 cricket, with not too many other matches in between.
“It’s also the first time for a while I’ve been involved in so many matches in a campaign because of my involvement internationally, which has not always given me the chance to practice for T20.”
Notts were beaten by eventual winners Northants at the semi-final stage of last year’s Finals Day.
In fact, the closest they have come to winning the 20-over competition since its inception was when they lost by just four runs to Leicestershire Foxes in the 2006 final at Trent Bridge.
“To go all the way this time would be massive because it’s the only trophy the club haven’t won, certainly during my time here,” says Hales.
“We have got to Finals Day a couple of times and fallen at the first hurdle in the semi-final. We have felt the pain of coming so close but not quite getting there.
“But the way we have played this year, particularly towards the back end of the campaign, where we have been consistent and confident, means that hopefully this year will be the year.”
As Hales testifies, it’s been a team effort that has helped the Outlaws turn around a tough start that saw them lose their first two T20 games of the summer.
During that time, the team have responded positively to a season-ending injury to Luke Fletcher and the retirement of key batsman Michael Lumb.
“I think Hampshire are the toughest team we could have played in my opinion.”
Hales says: “Riki and myself got off to a flyer in the early games and then towards the back end, we have not done as well as we would have liked.
“But the guys in the middle order have stepped in. Tom Moores has got his first 50, Dan Christian has whacked a few and Samit has been as good as he ever has in the big-game situations.
“A special mention deserves to go to the bowlers who had a tough start to the campaign and then have bowled on some flat, good batting wickets at Trent Bridge.
“But they have stepped up as well, particularly towards the back end, defending 140 at Worcestershire and also defending our score at Derbyshire.”
But while bullish about Notts’ chances this time around, Hales and co will be taking nothing for granted, especially after drawing Hampshire.
The England player believes the semi-final draw has done them no favours because of the opposition they face (2.30pm start).
“I think Hampshire are the toughest team we could have played in my opinion,” he insists. “They have a great record and play well at Edgbaston, where their style of cricket suits a wicket there in early September.
“We have to put the yards in and have to best our best if we are going to beat them. They have Shahid Afridi and Liam Dawson, as well as Mason Crane and strong top orders of batters, so if we want to win the trophy then we are going to have to win it the hard way.”
