I think it`s more that the Aussies are bloody good ATM. England are in a bit of transition too TBF. Back on topic - 100+ for the seventh wicket and still going, well played lads!

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Dom out for 51 and 128 put on for the 7th. Could be vital come the finish. 275/7. Would we take 325 from here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 326 all out. I`d certainly have taken that at 145/6. Over to the bowlers now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 201 all out at Middlesex. Looks a result wicket- that's 4 bonus points and this is a game in hand, on some we even have 2. A must win this one of course but with 3 going up this season if we do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware concussion subs are allowed to bowl but are only permitted if they're deemed to be like-for-like replacements? If so then would, or indeed should, Patel be allowed to bowl? Not as far as I'm concerned unless I've the rules wrong and it wouldn't be the first time! What sort of total would people be happy to defend? I haven't seen any of it but seems like the pitch is turning now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) We have a crack of winning this at Middlesex now- they're 114/5- a lead of 84. If that happens it makes a West County derby in top flight a possibility- 3 go up after all. Certainly with plenty of sides beating each other and us having games in hand, under the radar could be a way forward. Some surprises in this League- Middlesex still bottom of the County Championship. 1 win in 8 before today. Looking briefly at the top division- where hopefully we can be next season. I struggle to see how Patel is a like for like for Nash- his batting is quite a bit superiod, historically at least and given he's a spin bowler too- not that he's bowling- he'll be more comfortable on a turning pitch. 6 down! PS. Middlesex the sleeping giants of the 4-day game, to an extent Durham too but their success more recent- financially impaired too. Glamorgan being top around the halfway point but more significantly with a reasonable margin in the top 3 is quite a surprise! Likely 2nd after this round. Middlesex being bottom well good odds back in April IMO! Edited July 9, 2019 by Mr Popodopolous Improvement- plus looked up regs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is clearly a Somerset forum, your views belong on Gaschat Looks like it could be a West Country double- 216 to win at bottom of table Middlesex, albeit a bit of a result wicket. Now or never with 3 going up for promotion hopes- time shouldn't be an issue for either side this week- looking like quite the title race up there though! If you win you'll be averaging 18.22 ppg and yet still only less than a win ahead of Essex it seems?? In prior years, I've a feeling with your current points haul you'd be well clear by now?

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) 40/5 40/6 40/7!?! If we lose, we're surely done in terms of promotion. I mean the gap may not be so big in terms of points, given it's quite a close Second Division when it comes to the race for 3rd- but 1 win in 9, if we lose suggests not for us!

MichaelRobartes Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Didn't Essex get the same bonus points as us in this round? I think 3 batting and 3 bowling. So if we go on to win this match we'll both take 22 points and the gap will stay the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
