............Joe Burns signs as overseas player...........

Not overly enthusiastic about this signing, hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

 

[Salford Bee]

Not overly enthusiastic about this signing, hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

My impression is he is next in line for Australia.

One of the most promising young batsmen in Australia, Joe Burns will be a contender for Test honours over the coming years if he can build on an impressive start to his first-class career. A stylish batsman who plays straight, plays late and has the patience to wait for balls in his area - a trait that has become less common among young Sheffield Shield batsmen - Burns burst on to the scene with 140 on Shield debut against South Australia late in the 2010-11 season. It was the third highest score on debut by a Queensland player and he became a fixture in the Shield-winning state team the following summer, when he scored 781 runs at 41.10, placing him fifth on the competition tally. Although he didn't quite hit the same heights in 2012-13, his 587 runs at 32.61 still made him Queensland's top Shield scorer for the second consecutive season. Burns made his Australia A debut on the tour of England in 2012 and scored 114 while playing for Australia A against the England Lions in a one-day game in early 2013. At the time, Burns had just been named the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year and he finished the 2012-13 season strongly. A level-headed individual who has studied business and finance at university, Burns is the kind of character who should appeal to John Inverarity's national selection panel.

 

[TW3Bee]

[Nada Bee]

Looks like it's gonna be a draw. Well done Middlesex. But jeez

 

[TW3Bee]

Draw it is.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Phew.
Against one of the stronger sides in the division. I'll take that.

 

[GP200]

...................lucky boys.............

 

[GP200]

..............on their travels to Taunton tomorrow..........

 

[TW3Bee]

Kyle Abbott signed for part of the T20 Blast.

 

[Nada Bee]

Kyle Abbott signed for part of the T20 Blast.

He is useless.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Great!
Let's lose the game on day one.

 

[GP200]

.............oh dear............another draw on the way then...........

 

[TW3Bee]

Great fightback from Middlesex.

Somerset were 312-2 at one point, but lost their last eight wickets for 96 and were bowled out for 408.

Middx batted out the last three overs without losing a wicket while reducing the deficit by 10.

 

[GP200]

................5 wickets for James Harris..............

 

[GP200]

...............306-7 at stumps............couple of late wickets lost........

 

[GP200]

[TW3Bee]

Got over the first hurdle of not losing a wicket in that last little session.

 

[GP200]

...............tea taken.............

 

[TW3Bee]

Middx 280-3 needing a further 132 to win off 32 overs.
Voges101*
Franklyn 57*

 

[badgerbee]

324/3 Voges 124* Franklin 72*

73 needed off 18 overs......easy!!

:blush

.......it's a bit showery down here in Zummerzet though.......

 

[martyhar]

Voges out. Still well set surely.

 

[badgerbee]

23 off 4 overs.....

 

[martyhar]

That's a great win!

 

[badgerbee]

Much as it pains me.....hat's off Middx....fantastic run chase.....

 

[GP200]

rofl

............positive thinking.............

 

[Humblebee]

And there was I hoping for rain. Great result.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

We did the same to Yorkshire almost exactly a year ago.
Amazing.

 

[Ken Richardson]

Fully deserved. Well done Sex.

 

[GP200]

...............the chase is on.............

...............the chase is won............

 

[Streetboy]

The Taunton wicket strikes again. Remember David Nash calling it a nightmare for bowlers after Middlesex and Somerset shared almost 1500 first innings runs a few years back.

 

[GP200]

..............5th in the early League table.............

 

[TW3Bee]

That is a fantastic victory.

Making a habit of chasing over 400 to win.

 

[GP200]

...............league game against Durham starts tomorrow at Lords............

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Ye Gods, a strong start to a Middlesex first innings!
Can we keep it up against one of the stronger sides in the division?

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Okay, Middx, time to put your foot down a bit and amass four or five batting points.

 

[GP200]

...............329-4 at stumps.............

 

[Nada Bee]

Massive century for Robson. Nice to see Compton get a score too. Think the weather will win this match though.

 

[GP200]

................raining this morning............delayed start???????......,,,

 

[GP200]

.............353-6...........
