PHILINFRANCE Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) I am out and about today, so unable to watch the live stream. Just catching up with the score on Cricinfo and the Somerset site, however, I note that we have scored two fives, presumably overthrows, and that Tom Abell was saved from a tight runout as the umpire was looking in the other direction! Is anybody watching and able to advise? A quick check on the Grockles site reveals a post from @TomF’s favourite, who confirms he has checked the scorecard and that Tom Abell’s possible runout was definitely Not Out!

Robin101 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 I bought myself a Middlesex membership this season. I'm a Somerset fan, but it only cost £70 to get access to all home Middlesex matches and I wanted to watch some live cricket. I have subsequently discovered that because I must sit in the members' areas, I have to wear a shirt with collar to every match. There is no option to buy what is, effectively, a season ticket at Lords in the year 2021 without having to wear a collared shirt to every match. In my opinion, absolutely bonkers. I know we all love cricket for the tradition, but enforcing dress codes on fans just seems mental to me in this day and age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was mentioned on the official site, that could well be a game changing moment for, at the risk of repeating @Lrrr’s error of speaking too soon and jinxing him, Tom Abell looks very well set and a well-deserved Century surely beckons.

More "unforeseen" ramifications of Brexit by the way, Van Buuren suddenly becomes an overseas player after 5 years! https://www.gloscricket.co.uk/news/statement-on-graeme-van-buuren/ We bowled pretty poorly yesterday, except for Worrall and Higgins. Shaw in particular has bowled like a drain. The sooner Payne's missus gives birth, the better. Not for the first time we miss a quality spinner on slow, flat decks like this. I agree a draw seems likely. We even slowed our over rate right down after lunch. Just need our batsmen to fill their boots. Against Mohammed Abbas, however, that's no certainty.

Port Said Red Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) A shame Brathwaite couldn't stick around until stumps, but otherwise not a bad day for Glos. A draw is still favourite as neither side seems to be able to get runs at any decent rate. I am sure Geoff Boycott would have loved that second wicket stand of Hampshire's.

I have seen all ran fives without overthrows, when fielders would have been better off letting it go for 4. I didn’t really understand our Glos friend but there, I am getting on.......though nowhere near as much as he’s getting on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
