Middlesex CCC 2011.

too soon, too soon! :banghead:
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

No play for the mighty sex today. Bad news.

Surrey 229-7. Only 1 point currently.
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Surrey all out for 315.

2 bonus points lost for them.

It means Middlesex only need 14 more points to gain promotion.
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

1st Middx - 207 points - max 255
2nd Northamption - 204 points - max 228
-----------------------------------------------
3rd Surrey - 184 points - max 226

Current table...
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

........14 points takes Middx to 221but Surreys max. Is 226 and Northants max is 228..........not enough then.......
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

You're quite right. I dont quite understand my working out. :D

1st Middx - 207 points - max 255
2nd Northamption - 204 points - max 228
-----------------------------------------------
3rd Surrey - 184 points - max 227

So 21 more points to get promoted.

Definatly :D
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

..........no play before lunch for Middlesex........
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Essex going well at 57/0.

Come on the Essex!
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Essex 91/0 at lunch. Good stuff.

Going to do some funky calculations now... which hopefully will be right. Essex looks like it could be a draw, with the weather etc. So providing Surrey get full bowling points (3) plus their batting points (3) plus their draw points (4) will give them... 191 points with 1 to play, the max they can get is 215, which means Middx will need just 9 points to get promoted. So bowl Glamorgan out inside 110 overs, score just 250+ and draw the match, which considering conditions, isnt far off.

Im too excited. Cant wait to get promoted. :D
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

159/5

Middlesex still has no play. Possibility of a 1 innings match?
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

.........Essex now 197-6..............
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Surrey 315 & 6/1 (4.4 ov)
Essex 253
Surrey lead by 68 runs with 9 wickets remaining

Come on the Essex!!
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Surrey 315 & 35/2 (9.5 ov)
Essex 253
Surrey lead by 97 runs with 8 wickets remaining

Come on Essex.
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Close of play104/4 166 ahead 6 wickets in hand not good

However still feel Northants could miss out

If the Glamorgan game is 1 innings how do the points work?
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Depends, with the 1 innings then they normally declare the 1st innings, for 0/0. but by doing that it'll mean no bonus points. however if they shake hands on 1st innings cos of the bonus points...

Middlesex 280 a.o
Glamorgan 278 a.o

Who says Glamorgan will declare that? :cool:
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Hmm

Just been reading the rules if the match is drawn just 3 points each,
It would appear that to be one innings both sides have to declare forfeiting any batting or bowling points and then go for the 16 point win
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

19 more
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Surrey max 227
Northants 228

Middx at this moment have 209 so 19 ensures promotion 20 is champions
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Essex require another 325 runs with 10 wickets remaining

Come on the essex :cool:
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Surrey max 227
Northants 228

Middx at this moment have 209 so 19 ensures promotion 20 is champions

At the time of writing Middx had 1 bowling point, meaning they had 208..... I thank you.
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

..........rain delay again...........
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Booooooo.

Essex 45/2 meaning still just over 300 runs to get not likely

Therefore assuming no more play (or points) in cardiff Middx currently have 210 plus the draw meaning 213 one to play max 237
Northants 204 with one to play max 228
Surrey have 187 plus the probable 16 making 203 max 227

Interesting to note that Surrey have not achieved a 24 point game this season but play Derbyshire so may well then
Northants at Gloucestershire not easy
Middx at Leicestershire should win all subject to weather
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Middlesex 19/1 (5.0 ov)

Play is back under way, hoping for a bonus point by the end of today. And what do points mean?
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

...........first batting point at 200 runs..........possibly a bit much for tonight.........
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Surrey on track to gather in some valuable points. but we can get a couple of batting bonus points. PLEEEEEEEEASE.
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

This is the table as at close of play

Middlesex 15* 7 2 0 5 0 210
Northamptonshire 15 6 2 0 7 0 204
Surrey 15* 6 4 0 4 0 187

With a bad weather forecast for Cardiff I would bat on for points rather than try and force a win
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

..........will go down to the last game of the season..........
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Middlesex 15* 7 2 0 5 0 211
Northamptonshire 15 6 2 0 7 0 204
Surrey 15* 6 4 0 4 0 187

16 more now to get promoted. :D
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

..........251-6.........another batting point........
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

We declare on 302. 3 points. Which means only 14 now to guarantee promotion.
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Have played with some confidence this morning, with Rogers, Simpson and Rayner playing some great shots. Since reaching 250 Middx, have basically batted with a purpose to score runs, taking a few more risks than im sure they normally would, had time been on their side. The intention was clearly to build a lead and see if they can get Glamorgan out cheaply.
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Glamorgan trail by 98 runs with 9 wickets remaining

Come on the sex!
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Glamorgan trail by 80 runs with 8 wickets remaining :D
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Glamorgan trail by 58 runs with 7 wickets remaining :D:D:D

Come on lads!! hope the weather holds off, you never know!
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

Weather permitting, one could argue that if we don't beat Leicester in the final game then we don't deserve to be promoted. However we will beat them won't we ? :)
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

COME ON SURREY!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

............a tight finish to the league...........
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

..........fun starts tomorrow............
 

Middlesex CCC 2011.

I've always enjoyed the England international test matches, but they're getting very expensive. I am determined to get along to some Middlesex game this year as I've never been to one before. Anybody know what size crowd do they usually get? I'm guessing it's quite low.
...........did you get to see Middx this season?????........
