It's a lot easier for me to get to The Oval than Lord's, or any other Middlesex ground.

"A pity that they will be moving to a new ground soon. The 'Wendyhouse' is a great away end." Comments of a Sheffield Utd fan on their own forum.

I'm sure, if my fading memory is correct, that when it was re-developed the trees behind at to be visible.

Is this where we have been going wrong? All the other teams field eleven players.

Tell you what I think as an open-minded neutral... I love watching cricket... this was a cricket match... therefore I enjoyed myself. But it wasn't the best, and here's why, IMHO...
1. Not T20 friendly conditions: windy; greenish seamers' track.
2. Very depleted Middlesex side.
3. Atmosphere. This is the second time I have witnessed this at Lords. Virtually full house, but absolutely no focus on the cricket. People drinking and chatting away, but acknowledging nothing at all to do with the action. Eskinazi was just about the only Middlesex player to do himself justice, and yet when he was out for a very creditable 40-odd... not even a hint of applause. fours, occasional sixes, frugal overs, all went by without acknowledgement. And then, once the alcohol started to kick in we had Mexican waves, people singing and dancing to the music... but still no interest in the cricket. Great revenue for Middlesex, but very disappointing for a sad old anorak such as myself.
Otherwise, impressed with Vince and Roussow at the top of the order for Hampshire. Likewise, Abbott with the ball. For Middlesex, Eskinazi, as I said, and Helm looked like he offered a bit of pace. Nice to see two leggies on display, but that was a no-contest as well I'm afraid, with the impressive Crane head and shoulders above Sowter on the day.

Send 'em up to Trent Bridge to learn off Notts.
They put up a lot of big scores in both 20/20 and 50 over games.

How did Barber do? He was a lad that played with my son. He was 17 and was bowling low 80's then. Hampshire let him go. Nice lad and I hope he makes it.

Never registered where I was. Wind direction? Was virtually no applause where I was, Got fed up clapping on our own. Was embarrassing.
By the way, I declared neutrality earlier, and you're probably thinking I have a cheek coming on here criticising. In truth, though, as a resident in the county for 30 years, I do have an affinity, and I was supporting Middlesex, the county of my children!

Did OK. 1 for 32, so no worse than anyone else. Looked like he was generating pace through the air. Not sure if the condition suited him - the wind was tricky for pace bowlers even if the track looked green. Difficult to judge from a distance though, not sure what TV revealed or what the pundits were saying.

Just watched the last few overs on TV. Rob Key and Andrew Strauss picked out Tom Helm and Tom Barber as being the two bright spots in a sub-par team effort. Both bowled with real pace and promise, they said.

Alex Hales just hit 95 off 30 balls.
9 fours and 9 sixes.
So all but five of his runs came from boundaries.
