[amersfoort bee]

Wicket second ball after lunch to TRJ. Simpson now taken six catches in the match.

Yorkshire 52-4.

 

[GP200]

..............looking good............

 

[amersfoort bee]

Yorkshire 111-7. Could be over before tea.

 

[Humblebee]

Quite a stand developing for the 8th wicket - 17 so far. Now only 110 runs behind with 3 wickets left......

How come HWB's so quiet?

 

[GP200]

.............2 wickets required...............

 

[GP200]

..............Ollie strikes..............one wicket to take...........

 

[GP200]

.............oh dear............tail wagging..............

 

[GP200]

..............ssssshhhhhhhhhhhh...................

 

[GP200]

...............play off push is on...............

 

[Humblebee]

I thought Yorkshire were supposed to be good. Mind you, it has been over 15C.

..............they are good...............but not as good .............apparently..............

 

[Ken Richardson]

Happy. A good result.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Happy. A good result.

Great result.
Any time you beat Yorkshire is a great result.

Essex at Chelmsford next followed by back to back games against Warwickshire, separated by a month of 20/20 fixtures.

 

[amersfoort bee]

Great result.

Draw v Essex and two wins against Warwickshire and up the table we shoot. Going to be champs again .

...............more positive thinking...............

 

[amersfoort bee]

And why not? Middlesex have a very good squad this year.

 

[8corner]

..............they are good...............but not as good .............apparently..............

Can we play them every week?

 

[8corner]

That was a heavywoollen defeat for one of our brethren.

 

[GP200]

..................four day game away at Essex tomorrow............

 

[TW3Bee]

..................four day game away at Essex tomorrow............

Day/Night game starting at 2pm.

 

[amersfoort bee]

Middlesex currently 99-2 after 26 overs. We were 2-2 at one time.

Steven Finn requires 12 runs in this match to reach his 1000 first class runs.

 

[amersfoort bee]

106-2 at tea.

I've never been to a day night match. Are the other two breaks called dinner and supper or something else?

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

106-2 at tea.

Doing better than Surrey then. They are only 105-2 at tea.

 

[amersfoort bee]

246 all out, another 4 runs would have been good.

Finn needs 11 in the next innings to get his 1000 runs. Quite strange - he has a better test batting average than first class.

Probably bats higher in first class so gets less not outs.

............Essex 100-0.............in reply..........

 

[amersfoort bee]

Probably bats higher in first class so gets less not outs.

Bats at number 11 in both forms.

 

[amersfoort bee]

That certainly was not the first day outcome I was hoping for.

 

[TW3Bee]

Steven Finn requires 12 runs in this match to reach his 1000 first class runs.

1 less now.

 

[Humblebee]

Essex saved by the weather....

Told you so. The next two wickets only averaged about 85 runs.

 

[Humblebee]

Does anyone know what time play ends tonight?

 

[badgerbee]

4 overs remaining tonight....

 

[Humblebee]

10 overs remaining tonight....

Thanks.

 

[badgerbee]

Thanks.

Sorry, make that 4.....

 

[amersfoort bee]

Should be 21:30 but there are still 3 overs to bowl so probably about 21:40.

Middlesex 14-0 at the moment.

 

[Humblebee]

25-0 according to the Beeb, after 11 overs.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

We have precisely 1 bonus point.

Now I know how it feels to follow a side like Derbyshire or Gloucestershire.
