    Bloody hope it’s not the start of a run of them!

    Brilliant catch by Donald off Ellis to get Lammonby. Right in front of us.

    So Weatherley has a broken hand but is still able to play through the pain. Surely they won't risk him for the Championship game though?

    Unless they go back to Organ (please not) then I would suggest that Holland opens with Middleton and Donald gets a go at number 7. Although Albert appears to be in better form so I'd actually go for him instead to be honest.

    Great win against Somerset, wasn't expecting that after the start they got.

    Either the Aussies are brilliant or India are vastly over-rated when they travel abroad? Just over a week to go for this eagerly awaited test series. As I have stated in a previoius post, Lyon could well be the key to the outcome of the series. I know some would love to see him belted out of sight, Perhaps the purists will enjoy seeing a high class spinner trying to outwit high class batters. At the moment it is impossible to decide who is the better side. England have the craft of Anderson, Broad and Robinson at their disposal, Oz the pacier Starc, Cummins and Boland. I feel that Oz might have the better top order, though. to counter that we can see that Pope and Brook are emerging as a top class batter who is more than capable of supporting Root should the openers get out cheaply. These three are crucial to the fortunes of England setting the Aussies a demanding target. Anyone who has mangaged to get a ticket to one of the Tests should be in for a brilliant day's entertainment. Let's just hope the weather is good for the five test series.

    Yet again Middlesex find a way to lose. 16 from 10, seven wickets, two set batters. Lose.

    The difference between Middlesex and Hampshire is that Bransgove would never tolerate such mediocrity. You just sense the board at the Middlesex club are stuck in a timewarp in many aspects regardiing coming to terms with modern day cricket. Perhaps they hark back to heyday of Compton and Edrich, and what happened during the Brearley and Gatting era was just an abberation.

    I'm genuinely angry at that. It's absolutely outrageous from Kent.

    Yeah they've been doing it for all their home t20 games (except when on Sky).

    They're basically acting as the guinea pig for the ECB and the other 17 counties.

    Vince doesn't do 10 to 50 scores.

    Single figures or 50+.

    Smeed smashing the ball all around the west country, rather usefully for us.

    Running out of patience with Whiteley now. He had time to get his eye in tonight.
