[maddogging]

Big match at Bristol. Worryingly willbe Swanee friendly and you boys have a good seam attack this season. Our new oversear Kane Williamson makes his debut today and will bat at 3.

Looks like a win the toss, bat well and win game to me

[GP200]

...........................Glos 204-5 at tea..........................

 

[Brickie Chap]

If we win this one, I'm claiming to have attended all days, so as to break this sorry run.

 

[maddogging]

Good day for the Glos'ters, looking for a bit of wagging tomorrow and make 400. Sounds a good pitch mind you so we will have to bowl well

Cracking last day in store tomorrow. Not sure if Hamish will bat again so Middlesex slight favourites

[Ken Richardson]

Yea like it. What a difference thus far from last year.

 

[GP200]

.......................................yep......................first one back.......................a bit of a formality in the end........................a cloudy and ever so windy Lords saw Worcester make 217..............................Stirling moved the score along and with Malan played some glorious drives .........Rogers and Berg steered them over the line with four overs remaining........................nice...................a good if chilly afternoons cricket...................

 

[Salford Bee]

Good start vs. Glamorgan.

Nearly as bad as that lot from the east of the Pennines.

 

[Brickie Chap]

Luck is still holding out I see...

 

[Ken Richardson]

Could be on a hiding in this one. Everyone pray for rain.

[Ken Richardson]

Got Clobbered.

 

[GP200]

.........yep.........Glam made 10 an over........far too generous of the bowlers.........

 

[oldashbee]

Middlesex are not taking this competition very seriously it seems - bad enough having 3 players in the England Squad and unable to play but why no Roland-Jones and why was Malan batting at 7. Gareth Berg is injured. They will still expect us to pay full whack to get in though!

 

[Nada Bee]

Getting smashed at the moment

70/1 after 4.3 overs
