never change a winning team they say
over to you chaps

Thanks, JimBob.

Freddie is ready! Assuming the wicket suits the slow bowlers as last night, I would get the Burger Van to pull up and serve a few helpings. Maybe give Sam Curran the evening off and save his mum having to write another note allowing him to stay up late!

I would have to agree that it's time to give the Burger Van a go!

GET THE BURGER VAN IN

#BurgerVanOut

other possibility is leaving out burke

Especially as he didn't even get a bowl against Gloucs.

JimBob - agreed but that didn't allow me to use the line about getting a note from his mum!

Middlesex win toss and bat
Burns replaces Dunn
Sadly no burgers on the menu tonight

Matthew Dunn will miss tonight’s game with a side strain. He will now start a period of rehabilitation. Oh dear

Agreed. It will also help the campaign to get him a county cap.

JimBob - bit off topic but as you're on here, do you know anything more about Balcombe? Cheers.

No Guildford I will try and found out for you.
S.Curran strikes with first ball

Cheers, JimBob.

Sam Curran has to get his overs in by 7:30 as he's off to a sleepover then!

Awful first over from Burke

Chance of a run out Roy throws at the wrong end

Jimbo you there?

Yeah olly

Excellent 2nd over from norah

How quick is Sam Curran?

Some people think Jimbob is Caesar the Lion!

Olly Sam left armer very skiddy bowler

Zafar gets the Irish/England captain

Important wicket that from Zaf!

JimBob - do you know if this is the same wicket as last time? If so, very surprised Burgers didn't get a game - that seemed well suited for the slowies.

Milan hits full toss from Zafar straight to Roy on the boundary it's a funny old game

Zafar on a hat trick

Guildford wkt is the one used against Gloucestershire I think definitely nearer to Peter may stand then Wednesday

TC Yorks rayner

Sorry Burke wkts are falling like confetti here hard to keep up. Burke again 8 down

Cheers, JimBob. Should be taking spin then. Great effort by Norah and Zaf - I would have liked Burgers there as well.

After the first over from Burke I would have agreed Guildford second over on the money

Middlesex falling apart...  

Middlesex lost 6 wickets in 4 overs...

4 balls left 103 for 9

106 to win

Excellent effort with the ball - especially being a bowler light from the last game

Cracking first-half performance, just going from the scorecard. Didn't concede a boundary after the 7th over - not often that'll happen in 20.

Now guys don't do anything daft against Patel and we should have another 2 points ....

Chaps the mascot race is taking place I'm assuming drugs have been consumed

Should be opening with third degree

jimbobgooner wrote:Should be opening with third degree

Hmm not sure I agree with that - if we get off to a flyer it's game over, if we lose a couple early wickets third degree can still come in and play normally

TC gone

Now Roy

Roy going for the paddle sweep bowled leg stump he is furious

Poor that from Roy really - having just lost a wicket, not needing hardly any runs, keeping in should've been the priority

We're 58/2 off 10. Middlesex were actually better off at 62/2. Still don't think we have much to worry about.

Further to my comment on Roy, it's something he often did in the ODI's. Think he just needs to mature a little more to become a better bat

Patel's Last over was a stinker

Run rate required 1
