Middlesex CCC 2026

36 Years of Hurt.
Never stopped believing.
 

Middlesex CCC 2026

It's a stretch to call it a List A cup these days sadly.

Really pleased for Middlesex. Anyone who has been going to Merchant Taylors to watch this. Really deserves this.

Hope things get better off the field.

Just back. Great win, great atmosphere, great game! Looked dead and buried at 71 for 5 but Higgins & Duke batted superbly. The bowlers then did there bit, but Leics were always in it.
Brilliant to witness the Middle finally winning a trophy!
Great support for both sides. More Leics there obviously, inc a fair number of Leicester City chaps.

Me and PB Jr went to Trent Bridge today and are so glad we did. Both innings swung in favour of either side and while Kelly was there, Leics were surely favourites to win. Not sure why he risked that shot when needing less than a run a ball and with Scriven providing decent support at the other end but that pressure catch in front of the annoyingly gobby Leics City fans by centurion Higgins effectively settled the match.

The seamers all bowled well. TRJ bowled his 10 in a single spell & took 3-27 - impressive for a 38yo. Naavya Sharma bowled with genuine pace and also took 3. Special mention for Tom Helm, who, if I remember correctly, had 0-20 from his first 2 overs, then came back and took 3-12 from 6 overs.

Great scenes of celebration when captain Geddes took the winning catch and it was funny to join in with the "bantz" given back to the silenced Leics fans, who sloped off pretty damn quickly. Outnumbered by probably 4 or 5 to 1, it was like a great Bees away victory.

We also go and watch/support London Spirit in The Hundred (sorry purists) but I don't feel any of the affinity with the franchise as I do for my lifelong county. PB Jr got to realise just that feeling today - absolutely buzzing at the end.

What with Friday night at the GTech still so fresh in the memory, it's been a fantastic weekend.

Up the Middle!!
