Middlesex CCC 2018.

[wanderer paul]

................Championship..............

Back down to play proper Cricket. None of this Premier League rubbish. Do the cricketing commentaries include titles before the change to two divisions? Or is it like football where everything before 1992 is forgotten?!

Come on the seaxes, the ‘sex, the panthers, whatever!

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Few new names in that starting XI?

Good start

Don't think anyone should be expecting runs in these conditions. Cartwright has gone off like a train (20 off 24 deliveries). Who is he?

Let me guess... fields at mid-off and works on the ball. Good acquisition.

If we get a bonus point, we'll go to the top of the table....

Bad Light Stopped Play.

..............onwards and upwards............looking good...........

Shouldn't be in Div Two anyway.

 

[GP200]

.............tea taken..........

Goes without saying. Wonder if we'll pass Yorkshire, Surrey and Somerset on the way down when we get promoted this season???

Interesting you should choose these three counties. Don't fret, HB, I confidently see you escaping the division within the next ten seasons.

Chosen entirely at random, of course.
(I've taken lessons from the Russians.)

I think they are the other three that have fans on here.

 

[wanderer paul]

.............tea taken..........

Nice.

A couple of cakes with a cuppa at cricket. Can't get much better. :afro:

 

[TW3Bee]

No more play today.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

No more play today.

Only two teams batted in the championship today: Hampshire 290 all out and Middlesex 132-4. No play in the other four. Although I believe Worcestershire are about to start their reply.

 

[alikat]

No more play today.

Resuming at 5.40 according to the BBC site!

 

[TW3Bee]

Resuming at 5.40 according to the BBC site!

You are correct.

My information came from the cricinfo App.

 

[Humblebee]

136-4 at close of play.

 

[TW3Bee]

Well that was worth coming back.

 

[GP200]

Well that was worth coming back.

...............a couple of runs nearer batting point.............

 

[GP200]

..............Stirling gone early...........141-5.............

 

[TW3Bee]

Simpson soon follows.
144-6

 

[GP200]

.............four wickets for Sanderson...........

I would imagine that these are dream bowling conditions for seam and swing this morning.

Normally a lovely sunny day would be ideal for batting would it not?

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Normally a lovely sunny day would be ideal for batting would it not?

I'm thinking humid, for swing, with moisture evaporating from the surface. And the surface itself is likely to accommodate lateral movement this time of year (green and a little soft).

 

[GP200]

................168-6.............

 

[TW3Bee]

174-7

 

[Humblebee]

174-7. Well I suppose we have to give the other teams a chance.....

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Wickets a-tumbling around the country. Ten wickets for about 120 runs in all championship matches so far this morning, in my very rough calculation.

 

[TW3Bee]

189-8

11 for first bonus point

 

[GP200]

............201-8...........

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

200 up. I think this will prove to be a decent total. You'll skittle Northants cheaply I reckon.
