Super Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 So guessing we need this game to go late into the day, Middlesex set Yorkshire a total and Yorkshire fall short but not being bowled out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pundits still saying it's not easy to score runs more around 200 mark I reckon. Really is hard to tell though what Middlesex will do.

I hope the Yorks lot are aware of the money between 2/3rd but I fear they'll go all out win or bust The money for first is even better. Let me assure you that the idea of Yorkshire giving up on the Championship just ain't in their DNA. Btw, Yorkshire can't finish second - it's first or third for them, they have nothing to lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will just ask why you've got a Welsh dragon flag out, that's generally what happens when the mighty Wyvern is seen by the uneducated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 We're going to get to the last hour of a long gruelling county championship season and still 3 teams can win it. If its Somerset, it'll be the greatest moment of my sport watching life ..... and I've seen an awful lot if sport over the last 50 odd years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Middlesex and Yorkshire have done the deal. Yorks to chase 200 in 20 overs, hit the runs or get out. Somerset no chance unless it rains or Yorks fall just short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) I took a day off to go down to Taunton for the last day, typical that the Cidermen won in 3 days. Now glued to the Middlesex v Yorkshire match on tele praying it's a draw. 'Mon the Cidermen.
