Middlesex CCC 2017

[GP200]

..............yep,at the game and lots of people not really interested in watching the game,outside bars were full and lots in the stands chatting and not watching the action...............strange..............and attendance was given as over 27,000!!!!!.............

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Okay, nothing to see here.

 

[TW3Bee]

Got closer than I thought.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Got closer than I thought.

Still lost by 29 runs. The disastrous first ten overs meant they were never really in it. Can we maybe get Denly back? He's banging out the runs for Kent.

I said exactly the same two years ago. Eoin Morgan hit a sensational six over extra cover, and no-one batted an eye lid. Not even a ripple of applause. It's just an after-work social. The place to be. Nobody interested in the cricket.

Didn't do it for us though, any more than McCullum has. Only Southee made the score look respectable.

 

[TW3Bee]

Big guns McCullam, Morgan, Malan etc need to start producing.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

We remain essentially s*** at this 20/20 lark.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Two successive 20/20 matches chasing totals around the 200 mark: lost by 29 runs, lost by 21 runs.
Glamorgan meanwhile chase down a target of 219 runs, Colin Ingram hitting 9 sixes for a score 0f 114.
Our batsmen don't seem to put up the big innings with a high run run rate.

............McCullum has been a disappointment so far..............

Saving it for Friday ....

Saving it for Friday ....

.............and Richmond on Thursday.............

Sadly you are right.

Always a good crowd down there

Heading behind enemy lines for a home game.

 

[Humblebee]

If we lose this one, it will be a cue for even more terrible puns (deer oh deer etc.).

Heading behind enemy lines for a home game.

Just popping down to a local ground to watch T20 cricket

[Judio1999]

BBC said it will clear up and be 22 degrees

 

[TW3Bee]

I thought Middx were playing Slurrey at Richmond on Friday.

The only way Surrey will have champions in their county ?

 

[Cham]

84/0 after 9.3 overs...

 

[badgerbee]

Just had a punt on Kent at 12/5 to win.....small ground and strong Kent batting line up.....reckon they'll chase down anything under 210....Middx 152/2 with 3 overs left, coming up a bit short i reckon....

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Finally, Brendan McCullum puts up a big innings.

But then it peters out with a mid/late innings collapse.
A Coles hat-trick in the final over didn't help our cause.

 

[amersfoort bee]

Kent 2-2 after 2 overs.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Kent 2-2 after 2 overs.

88-3 off 11 overs.
Need to take some wickets or they will lose this.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Do only some of the county sides have pet names or whatever you call it?
Kent Spitfires, Leicester Foxes.

Hampshire Harlots?
Surrey Slappers?

 

[TW3Bee]

Middx win by 16 runs

Hampshire Harlots?
Surrey Slappers?

And since when is Birmingham a county?

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

Looking forward to tomorrow In bandit country lol

 

[amersfoort bee]

Good victory. We go above Kent but unlikely to get through to the next round.
