Many a match has been won from first inning deficit of more than 100...

Not quite this time but a very scary post, Corporal!

Well done boys - and that includes all us nerve wrecked supporters!

Blimey - that was tougher than I/we thought it was going to be
A full point win though - well done...............in the end lads!

Some of us used to like you Chris!

chris carry on like this and i will insist jon batty is recalled to the team

Well, with Lewie bowling and "mentoring" your quickies, I'm sure it'll be sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile we've lost Lewis, Kirby, Hussein, Ireland, Franklin....
Still, we've got lots of young'uns, (Payne, Miles, Wade, Norwell, Saxelby, Fuller, Taylor) ... but nobody to mentor them.

Noooo, JimBob!! Anything but, please.

Hopefully this can kick start our season in the CC and we can make a late push for promotion

There are three ways to try and win a match:

The right way, the wrong way, and the Surrey way...

The Surrey way was quite exciting though!

Well in the end it was a great comeback today to win against a very good side, although we only just made it! Basically we ooutplayed Gloucestershire in the first innings and they outplayed us in the 2nd, but by just a little bit less! All the best Chris for the rest of the season.

Never in doubt though, was it?

sorry to put a downer on it but does anyone know if gramps will get a ban?

Who knows? Hopefully just a slap on the wrist for a bit of dissent, depends what he actually said to the umpires though. One would think they would take the position of the game into account as well. According to reports he seemed to wave his bat in the way of the ball to supposedly obstruct it but didn't actually hit it but it distracted Saxelby from collecting it cleanly and so they missed a chance of a run out. Ramps and the rest of Surrey clearly didn't agree, very strange moment, interesting to see if there is any footage of it.

Drinks are on me There's also a bottle of red breathing nicely in the barracks. Have also reopened the Limericks thread in honour of today.

Would now be the right time to tell you that Gloucestershire is spelt wrong in the title of this thread jimbob?

Dernbach = Mr Consistency

2nd innings: 22.3 overs 2 for 51
