[Humblebee]

Won by 16 runs. Never in doubt....

It certainly was in doubt until Colin Ingram was out. There were 2 climates at Radlett today, the far side where we sat this morning was scorching. Moving over to cool off after the innings break we sat there with fleeces on as it was bloody cold. A cracking game with wickets in custers only spoilt (from my point of view) by banging loud music at the end of each over. As my 2 sons, 42 and 40, were probably the only ones under 55 in a very good crowd it wasn't really appropriate. On to Chelmsford now on Friday for another must win and then a floodlit match at Lords on Wednesday which we hope will still have something riding on it.

............yep...........it did appear to be a fairly elderly crowd,kids still on school............far side was scorching later on also.............

My comment was meant to be ironic, as it was clearly a very close game.

It is at Lords

Middlesex won the toss and put Surrey in to bat.

Surrey decided to have the coin toss
