[Ace Face]

Strongest squad in years and started solidly.

Could the biggest name in county cricket be slowly improving after the Emburey debacle years?

 

[GP200]

..............got some Pro 40 games pencilled in.......................

 

[TW3Bee]

I see that Strauss got out early.

Big things are expected of Billy Godleman this year.

Do you bat or bowl, cos I know Surrey are desperate for players?

Well, it's fair to say that the bar is set rather low these days!

............I will be watching...............3 games at Lords and one game at Uxbridge...................

Er, what division are you in?

 

[rebus]

Er, what division are you in?

**** off you surrey ****s! :thumbs:

 

[Edmundo]

Not still bitter about Ramps, are you? lol

 

[stedders]

. . . and since when have the Middlestumpers been the biggest name in county cricket?

 

[Edmundo]

Nottinghamshire has that accolade - at fifteen letters. Middlesex is a mere 9.

 

[Edmundo]

Meanwhile, Ramps is well on his way to his 98th first class ton.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I Nottinghamshire has that accolade - at fifteen letters. Middlesex is a mere 9.

Are there some hidden letters that make Nottinghamshire more than Northamptonshire then?

 

[Edmundo]

Are there some hidden letters that make Nottinghamshire more than Northamptonshire then?

:blush No - I simply didn't think of them as I tried to work out which was the "biggest name" from the eighteen counties!

 

[rebus]

FACT

 

[TW3Bee]

Meanwhile, Ramps is well on his way to his 98th first class ton.

How many tons has he scored for England compared with Strauss.

 

[Edmundo]

Meanwhile, Ramps is well on his way to his 98th first class ton.

I was worried that I might jinx him by writing that - but no worries! :bound:

 

[Edmundo]

How many tons has he scored for England compared with Strauss.

He would have scored a damn sight more than Strauss in the last couple of years if the selectors weren't so short-sighted. IMHO.

 

[TOMOGP]

Not still bitter about Ramps, are you? lol

No more than Rowlands

 

[stedders]

He would have scored a damn sight more than Strauss in the last couple of years if the selectors weren't so short-sighted. IMHO.

and the same for Mark Butcher, Ali Brown.

England Selectors are obviously anti-Surrey

 

[Edmundo]

No more than Rowlands

OK, I'll bite.

I've never heard or read Ramps disrespecting his former county or its supporters. The comparison is slanderous IMHO.

 

[Holysmit]

How many tons has he scored for England compared with Strauss.

Good point well made.

For what its worth i'm all for Strauss scoring centuries for England and Ramps scoring them for Surrey. Everybody wins.


























apart from middlesex of course but you lot must be used to that anyway lol

 

[maddogging]

Gloucestershire off to a cracking start in Div 2 (which incidentally is the new Div 1 ).

Ramps....that guy is a run robot !

 

[TW3Bee]

He would have scored a damn sight more than Strauss in the last couple of years if the selectors weren't so short-sighted. IMHO.

He had his chance and blew it.

Englands loss is Slurreys gain.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

He had his chance and blew it.

He had about eight chances :shrug:

He and Hick will be known as the biggest unfulfilled talents in the last 25 years.

 

[TOMOGP]

OK, I'll bite.

Maybe not but he milked his Benefit year at Middlesex even knowing he was leaving

However I have met and spoken to him on a number of occasions and found him a good sociable bloke who on a personal level I like

But to the the leave the great Middlesex for our near neighbours

 

[Les Beeavinu]

92 innings, 2 centuries - that is not the record of a man cruelly discarded by the England selectors. For the record, Hick has 6 in 114 whereas Strauss has 11 in 87.

 

[The H]

that fact that slurreys have to hijack a Middlesex thread says it all

even Geraint has 1 in 53..... (better when it was 1 in 4) but then Prior was 1 in 1 and Ambrose was 1 in 3

 

[California Bee]

. . . and since when have the Middlestumpers been the biggest name in county cricket?

Since the beginning. That's why their ground is called "Lords".

 

[Edmundo]

Since the beginning. That's why their ground is called "Lords".

That's MCC's ground.

 

[The H]

soon to be ours :evillaugh:

 

[Ace Face]

Anybody know when the worlds greatest bowler Murali Kirtik is back for the mighty Middlesex.

 

[Nada Bee]

England style collapse from Middlesex, 303-9 at the moment.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Anybody know when the worlds greatest bowler Murali Kirtik is back for the mighty Middlesex.

When he's finished raking in the IPL cash.

Six weeks ish.

 

[Nada Bee]

Middlesex 312; Leicestershire 113/0

[The H]

[Nada Bee]

Done by Kolpakshire

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Done by Kolpakshire

To be fair, the main wicket takers and the opening pair are all young English players.

 

[California Bee]

That's MCC's ground.

and it's the home of Middlesex County Cricket Club
