tin Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Brilliant spell of 4 wickets in 10 balls from Taylor. It was a different pitch when it’s overcast, seemingly. Edited July 8, 2021 by tin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Well Done Glos. Now looking forward to an interesting (nailbiting) final round of matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy stuff, Middlesex went from 241-4 to 255 all out, and yes, I stopped watching the stream when they were 4 down 'cos I thought it was petering out into a draw! Well done lads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Amazing turn around for Glos, safe to say Middlesex must have the worst and longest tail in cricket! :). Forgive me as I am still getting my head around this format... Who goes through to the next stage? And What are the scenarios from the last round of games?

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 The top two teams go through, so, realistically, two of Somerset, Glos. and Hants. In the final round of matches, Somerset are away to Surrey at The Oval, whilst Glos. host Hants at Cheltenham. Assuming no strange results, Somerset should qualify with a draw and, in reality, Hants would probably need to beat Glos., who are currently ahead of them on points. As a Somerset fan, I am hoping for a Hants win, as half the points scored in the group games are carried over in to the final group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Assuming Glos lose to Hants next week, which is eminently possible, it would be a travesty that a side with FIVE CC wins this season doesn't go through to the First Division IMO. Yorkshire, who are top of Group 3, are the only other team to have won as many games as we have at this stage of the competition. I think we'll be up against versus Hampshire.

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 175/6 at the end. Can`t help feeling we`ve let them off. As an aside, Devon Conway keeping wicket? I never knew he was a WK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two points from the last two games will see us through but probably an away QF at Notts who look pretty formidable and a certain BCTV presenter might want to remind us he’s not past it Lisa Knights ?

I might be due a ‘Whoosh’ here, but I suspect reference was being made to a former Somerset icon, a certain Peter Treeeego. You have probably never heard of him, as he played mainly in the first division, but he also presented a few City matches on Robins TV - usually quite ‘snazzily’ dressed.
