Time to call it a high scoring draw yet?
Have seen snails move faster than the current scoring rate! At least Warne would have thrown down the gauntlet (to Lancashire) last night; offering them a chance to make a game of it today....
Oh well, back to the sunbed and sip something cool!


With luck, all the excitement will be on Saturday <badger>:emoticon-0169-dance:emoticon-0167-beer:
 
Well done Joe, a maiden first class Century, albeit under kindish circumstances it is still an important knock....<applause>

My hope now is that him and Jimmy can produce together in the same innings!

Nobody is going to catch Surrey now, it's all about who can survive at the bottom.

There was always the risk that they'd run away with it once Morkel got fit.

England not deciding to give Burns (or Foakes) a chance has been a massive help to them too.

Just as long as they continue to beat the sides around us, I'm fine with them running away with it.

And well done Joe.
 
McManus has been told that he will start tomorrow.

And Crane has had an injection to get him through the game - he will then duly miss the rest of the season - so that it surely a sign that he'll start too.

So that leaves two selection choices. Topley v Wood, and Adams v Alsop.
 
I really didn't have much preference in the Adams-Alsop and Wood-Topley selection issues.

Obviously I feel for Adams and Topley, but that would have been the case for whichever two were left out.
 
Excellent PP for us (thanks in part to that final over). Great platform.
 
Steve Smith and David Warner, banned from top class cricket, are taking part in the Global T20 Canada League. People questioning whether it is right....my view, they cheated but no one died...they are still being punished by not being allowed to play at the level they want, but everyone has to earn a living.
 
300 should not be a question here. Things would have to go very wrong for us.

So it's whether we need 350 or 380 or maybe even 400.
