Worcestershire just secured a bowling point to send Yorkshire down.:sorted:
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

('the mighty mighty") Surrey 196/4;
Northants 135/4;
Leicester 177/4

I think Middlesex must be there now.

Bit of controversy at the Oval when Derbyshire thought they had Maynard caught, but it was ruled as a bump ball.
Maynard and Roy with Jordan to follow (who is in good form), Surrey bat deep.
My reading of the situation (code for I could be wrong) but if Surrey and Northants are tied then the most wins in the champsionship overall. Surrey have one more win.
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

first batting point to Surrey (3 leg byes).

So three and a half days rain now across the country and Surrey are up.

A top effort that Malvern. How Worcs won promotion last year I will never know, so to retain your place in the top flight is a massive massive effort
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Ned Eckersley 84* at the moment for Leicester. He has played club cricket for Ealing since colts so good to see him doing well, shame it had to be against Middlesex. He has the tough task of replacing Paul Nixon after his retirement.
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

298/8 just 10 to go
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Surrey closing in on maximum batting points. 395/8.

Middlesex CCC 2011.

1. Middlesex 219 pts - max 240
2. Surrey 208 pts. - max 227
--------------------------------------------
3. Northants 207 pts - max 228
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Northants look as thought they're not going to get 4 points, so will probably have to settle for 3. Meaning the max they can achieve is 226, meaning Middx are 8 points from promotion. So score 400+ and draw. :cool:
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

.............looks like a tight finish........Surrey looking good to go up.........
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Surrey in a great position. Apart from
Durston Derbys batting is hit and miss. Shame to see both London clubs leaving Div.2
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

...........did you get to see Middx this season?????........

No, I'm all talk! Have three jobs on the go at the moment, so have struggled to make time for cricket and am even struggling to see the Bees at the moment. Hope to sort my life out soon!

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Yes you're right on the table. I used an old one. Doh!

Northants have put Glouc back into bat. I think that is a poor decision. But we'll see.

Interesting/useless fact: 22 year old Leics wk Ned Eckersley who has hit 106 and so far taken 5 catches against Middlesex is an Acton boy and had a season ticket at Brentford for the 2001/02 and 2002/03 seasons....
