[amersfoort bee]

Rather a good day for the good guys but I fancy a draw is the likely outcome.

Isn't he a Fulham fan? Maybe I'm thinking of Tristan or Tarquin?

Have to get Sangakkara out if they want any chance of victory.

[GP200]

.............a warm and sunny day awaits.........

................and accompanying wetness.............

 

[badgerbee]

Still off....bad light.....FFS....

 

[SpiderBee]

Tricky first session, some top fielding and catching from Middlesex but both sides will be positive at the truncated close.
Tannoy announcer calling Dean Elgar, "David" was a faux pas .
Thought the groundstaff were superb when the rain came.
Scoring tomorrow so wont be there but hopefully Sunday and DEFFO Monday if it is well poised.
Er...£5.60 for a pie? No ta.

[scruff puppy pup]

Still, two days taken up scoring nearly 400 runs.
Unlikely to get a victory out of this.

Sutton Cricket Club (and some games for Worcester Park CC Academy side).

Sutton Cricket Club (and some games for Worcester Park CC Academy side).

Ok. I played there about fifteen years ago (Sunday friendly, for Addlestone and Hamm Moor CC). Sloping wicket, quicks can build up a bit of a head of steam downhill, iirc!

 

[GP200]

............a tad breezy and overcast at the Home of cricket this morning..............

 

[GP200]

..............players walk out..............then head back to the Pavilion!!!!!...........
