Are there any Middlesex supporters out there? At this rate, they may be even worse than Surrey this year.

We (Sussex) play them next week. Going purely by the form book (0-4 plays 4-0) it doesn't look good for Middlesex

I see the grandly named 'ECB Unicorns' make their debut tonight.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Unicorns?!?

Obviously couldn't magic the rain away. What's that story behind that team?

 

[King Pietersen]

Players that couldn't get contracts elsewhere isn't it?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Having a look through their squad, there's supposedly an emphasis on allowing youngsters a chance to step up to a first class side, yet most of their squad is filled with late 20s or older ex-county flops.

Edit: CW throwing a minor wobbler here.

Anyway yes definitely a making-up-the-numbers team. Surrey missing out on a rare opportunity when they can outbowl a side and boost their run-rate.

Chris Woakes hit 49 off 16 balls as Warwickshire posted a mammoth total of 321.

 

[Jarquis]

When are we expecting to see him in England's colours then?

 

[superkingdave]

Sutton again...gagfm

 

[King Pietersen]

More runs for Bell, 72 off 58 balls for him. Been in good form this year.

Century from Tom Maynard for Glamorgan too. He's always looked a handy batsman when I've seen him, but never really chipped in with a notable score. Clearly played nicely today though, with him making 103 from 68 balls.

As soon as you figure out how to use google image search?

Another Yorkshire win.

 

[fredfertang]

........ and a few runs for Tom Smith at the top of the Lancashire order - I fear there may prove to be life in the failed experiment yet

 

[Pothas]

Played 5 lost 5.

This is getting embarrassing.

You have any idea if Luke Towers will be coming back or not this year?

 

[brockley]

dunno.

 

[superkingdave]

Hmm, Leicestershire vs Durham on Sky today, be interesting to see James Taylor in action, providing there's no (fire) and rain of course

 

[WorcsRoyal]

Worcs 132-2 > 140-5. Shocker.

I'll take this back.. did well in the end.
