Middlesex CCC 2018.

Is anybody on this thread a member of Middlesex CCC? My semi-retired state means I can go to Lords more regularly in the future and I've always fancied spending one day a season in the members' areas of Lords even if it would be a jacket and tie job. Half membership from August might be worth it. Not been much in recent years but did so in the Brearley era.

Went to Lords as a guest of a member for Middx v Somerset County Championship game last season.......absolutely fantastic to spend the day in The Pavilion for the first time, having been to Lords on numerous occasions previously.....so much history and tradition......fantastic to stand in the Long Room as the batsmen walk out to bat.......and a great view too!!! Particularly from the terrace right at the top of The Pav......as you mention, suit and tie are required, but well worth the effort. From what I can gather membership is pretty affordable too, so would definitely recommend it if you’re a Middx fan.




Nearly as good as a day at The Oval....... :sorted:

I thought you could only go in the proper pavilion if you were a member of that other club, Marylebone Cricket Club?

All seems a bit elitist to me.

You can certainly go in as a Middlesex CCC Member (and they can introduce guest(s)) for County Championship games (which is what I did)....and, I presume, limited overs Middx games.....
As you say, I think for international fixtures you have to be an MCC member....hence the preponderance of 'rhubarb and custard' in there for England games....

That is my understanding too. Middx members do get an early grab for buying test match tickets at Lords but that would be for other parts of the ground. Wonder if they have a TAP scheme?

From a SCCC point of view I have obviously not followed your season as much as before

But can I ask How it is possible for Middlesex to have only scored NINE Batting Points in 12 matches this season ??

Incredible

Is it the different ball ??

Are pitches in Div 2 set up for bowlers ??

.............yes,an appalling stat.........

Question for the Middlesex fans: is this the worst team we have had post war?? Used to be a member when younger and spent many a happy day there and whilst there were some dodgy performances I can’t recall such a run of poor performances.

Don’t think the likes of John Price or John Murray would have allowed things to slip as much as they have, even Tuffers, who was laid back to the point of comatose, had enough fight in him to produce results

On paper they look quite strong, but the likes of Morgan and Malan just haven't performed consistently. Don't know what the answer is.

For next season:-

Finn out - he leaks runs at an amazing rate

Morgan out - does not seem able to play the red ball game

Malan out - does not seem able to score big runs anymore.

One or two seasons with young players and then we might be able to get out of division 2.
