***Official*** English Domestic Season 2008

Nannes a bit rubbish here.

 

[Goughy]

Not often I physically clap whilst watching but I did with the cover drive from Denly

 

[stumpski]

Key not looking too happy about that caught-behind decision - fine innings though. Kent just about keeping up with the rate.

 

[four_or_six]

Odds are even on Betfair.

Have been really impressed with Key today. Batting and fielding but also general attitude.

 

[four_or_six]

Well... not even any more now Denly has gone.

 

[stumpski]

What a superb over from Udal - dot, dot, one, dot, leg-bye, wicket.

And with 97 wanted off the last 10 perhaps Middlesex are now slight favourites again.

 

[stumpski]

31 wanted off 15 - but these two are well set now.

Ooh, stumping going to 3rd umpire ...

 

[Goughy]

What the hell!

Overthrows

 

[stumpski]

Four wanted from two ...

 

[PY]

What an end!

That's what 20/20 is all about. An over and a half from Henderson, incredible.

 

[Goughy]

Exceptional cricket. A real pleasure to watch

 

[BoyBrumby]

How wow. What a finish. Middlesex had it won at the start of the over, were absolutely gone with two balls left & then Henderson drags a couple of full balls out to nail it.

Super day of cricket all round.

 

[four_or_six]

IPL went down to the last ball, and now our T20 competition has too.

Awesome.

Agree with that, and what's more, this thread has been a Richard-free zone all day! Imagine him sitting there with his arms folded and his back to the telly, bless.

Normal service will be resumed tomorrow I expect.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

What a game... I can't see how you can dislike Twenty20 when drama like that is on show, you have to just be stubbornly objecting to it on some traditionalist principle if you can't let your jaw drop to that. Sublime cricket all day long.

 

[GIMH]

Awesome day's Cricket. Especially the final, what a spectacle, what a game. Even the missus was on the edge of her seat. Just brilliant.

 

[TT Boy]

Someone needs to upload that clip of the kid dancing onto YouTube.

 

[Richard]

Agree with that, and what's more, this thread has been a Richard-free zone all day! Imagine him sitting there with his arms folded and his back to the telly, bless.

Normal service will be resumed tomorrow I expect.

Indeed.

I was, mercifully, playing yesterday FTR.

What a game... I can't see how you can dislike Twenty20 when drama like that is on show, you have to just be stubbornly objecting to it on some traditionalist principle if you can't let your jaw drop to that. Sublime cricket all day long.

It simply doesn't feel like cricket. I don't object to it, I simply find it of no interest. It's the same as boxing, swimming or horse-racing.

 

[Manee]

I'm a bit late, but what a final! What a finals day - no one does Twenty20 like England.

 

[four_or_six]

I'm a bit late, but what a final! What a finals day - no one does Twenty20 like England.

Agreed. The IPL may have had the razzamataz and movie stars and diamond encrusted trophy, but we had David Lloyd chasing a bunch of huge stuffed animals round a blow-up assault course.

Absolutely love it.
