I wonder how long they've held onto that video for, its not from the same night as he's got a different colour shirt on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I think if anything I think the pitch should be upgraded from below average. When someone scores a ton and there's a declaration, it can't be that bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other county (bar the tossers from Surrey) will detest them for it. Just suck it up Middlesex - you weren`t good enough when it mattered. You really are the Bristol R*vers of County Cricket, always the victims. Edited September 28, 2017 by Red Right Hand 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 They've said its based on how it plays, look at the runs hit by bot teams, we hit a decent amount. Middlesex were just shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hope I'm wrong but it does stink of a stitch up. If the ECB wasn't a body that has form for interfering in promotion/relegation issues then I wouldn't be remotely worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's our fault for having better spinners then them though, we should have told Leach and Bess to tog out for them whilst we were batting. Would have been good sportsmanship to let Hildreth bat for them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Seems like a very poor show from Somerset, deliberately produce a pitch with excessive spin and bowl spinners 95% of the time. Looks similar to this, which whilst not against the rules, is unsportsmanlike in the extreme. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/wales/41074513 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They themselves suddenly had an absolute belter at Lords last week which was completely out of the ordinary.. yet nobody batted an eyelid. Given Somerset produced the highest first innings score on Day 1 in this round of fixtures and Hildreth scored a ton in the second innings I'd suggest that Middlsesex just batted like they have all season. i.e. craply. These are the stand outs, if our pitch was so poor will everyone else get points deductions too... We scored something like 200 more runs than Middlesex over 2 innings, we showed you can bat on it.
