Middlesex CCC - County CHAMPIONS 2016.

[GP200]

...........Malan bowled 57-3..........

 

[CTBee]

If Middlesex win the title it will be de-valued as they did it against Yorkshire reserves (circa NB).

 

[GP200]

............84-3 at lunch..........

 

[Judio1999]

If Middlesex win the title it will be de-valued as they did it against Yorkshire reserves (circa NB).

But Yorkshire have been playing a reserve team all season ??

The only regulars are players who England have not picked !!!

................Gubbins gets his 50..........

 

[GP200]

............Eskinazi bowled 97-4...........

Doesn't matter apparently . . .

 

[Judio1999]

50 partnership
147/4

Somerset cruising now
209/2
Unbeaten century for Rogers

 

[GP200]

.........Simpson gone.........154-5.......

 

[GP200]

.........Franklin dropped through the slips..........

 

[GP200]

..............168-5 at tea...........

 

[Judio1999]

Somerset 215/2 off 68

42 overs left to get 185

 

[GP200]

............Gubbins gets his century with a pulled six............

 

[Judio1999]

Somerset 215/2 off 68

42 overs left to get 185

280/2 in 79

Almost 250 run partnership for third wicket

 

[Judio1999]

Only 113 runs to get in 30 overs.

Looks like maximum for Somerset with the bat

 

[Darren J]

Can anyone explain why there was a toss in the Somerset Notts game but the other three div 1 tosses were uncontested?

 

[Judio1999]

First bonus point

 

[GP200]

............batting point 200-5.........

 

[Judio1999]

Can anyone explain why there was a toss in the Somerset Notts game but the other three div 1 tosses were uncontested?

Yes
The away side can bowl first
Notts wanted to bat so they asked for a toss

 

[Judio1999]

It stops the home side planning a pitch which is too bowler friendly

 

[LostBee]

First batting point :bound:

 

[Judio1999]

Somerset have 3

 

[Darren J]

Yes
The away side can bowl first
Notts wanted to bat so they asked for a toss

Thanks... makes sense.

 

[Judio1999]

Both batsmen out
308/4

 

[Paul USA]

I shall be at Lords on Wednesday to watch the boys over the line.

Bunch of us going to should be a fun day ����

...............will be in a suit tomorrow for the Pavilion.............

 

[Judio1999]

Bad light at Lords

208/5 off 82 Gubbins 120 no

Lords dont have planning permission for Floodlights in a 4 day game

 

[Judio1999]

Somerset struggling
322/7off 94 five for Ball

Were 302/2 in 84

 

[Judio1999]

Hildreth got most of his century on one leg.
Got hit on ankle early on
Had to use runner

 

[Judio1999]

322/8

 

[Judio1999]

If Somerset make 350 and win
A draw for Middlesex is not enough

 

[Billy Hunt]

For those who don't pay for Sky Sports channels, the Middlesex match is live on Sky Sports Mix.

If you're a Virgin customer, it's channel 517.

 

[Judio1999]

322/4
Now
322/9

Last 7 wickets gone for 20

6 for Ball

 

[Judio1999]

Another way to look at it.
Now Somerset have 3 points.and assuming they win

If Middlesex fail to get 400 (cant see how they could now in 110 ovs )

Then a draw will not win title

 

[HertsBee]

Am aiming to get out of work on Friday to get there assuming it is still going and rain holds off.

At the other end of the table, Warwickshire bowled out for only one batting point.
I think this means that if they lose to Warwickshire and Hampshire draw with maximum batting and bowling points, Warwickshire will go down and Hamphire stay up.

Blimey, he's a big lad now, isn't he?

 

[Judio1999]

I cant see Warwickshire losing to themselves !!!

Lancs 162
Warw 156
Hants 148

Warwick can now only get 160 with loss

Hampshire can still get 161 with a draw

 

[Cham]

Weird day.. Yorkshire could have bundled us out for less than 200 if they held their catches.. Yet we're in a decent position..

 

[amersfoort bee]

I hate to say it but at the moment Somerset are looking like the favourites for the title.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

If Notts can make a decent reply and they lose playing time to the weather, Somerset may find it difficult to get a result.

 

[Billy Hunt]

Blimey, he's a big lad now, isn't he?

Same shape as Mr. Strong.

 

[The Pipe]

Sorry weather set fare down here, sunny tomorrow ( for my golf) and Thursday cloudy Friday.
