No. The umpires set the level for the match the first time they have to go off which was on Tuesday. If it drops below that level at any time in the match after that they`re supposed to go off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 On the other hand tho, you have some no mark such as this- sadly a lot will have his mindset: David Parry @DavidParry32 28s @kiesy_22 @Middlesex_CCC @somersetcricket The public want this shoot out at Lords. Excellent work by both captains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he was thinking he needed a fair time to get Yorkshire out. Thought he just about pitched it right, but it's a difficult balance to strike.

Imagine his tweets of Somerset have given Middlesex 240 to win and thus crushing Yorks. He'd be going mental I've met Michael Vaughan on a couple of occassions. Fantastic, intelligent, ruthless captain although somewhat less than empathetic - makes Douglas Jardine look like a Sunday School teacher, imo.

lenred Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 We've still got a shot at this I reckon the way it's going. A real good shot. Yorks are lagging behind the runrate already and Middlesex won't get 9 more I don't think. And the prize money difference is massive from 2nd to 3rd. Still very much on for us.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yorkshire- what do they have to gain from not going for it. Unless light or rain intervenes I don't see how it could or would finish a draw. And Yorkshire keep going for it, they will probably lose wickets if tney don't win and may lose.
