English Domestic Season 2011

[Scaly piscine]

Sounds like Carberry got badly sawn off too.

Hopefully all possibilities are on when I'm back from my swimming. Could be a very interesting finish, or not.

 

[stumpski]

Somerset 197 ahead with a minimum of 35 overs left. Kartik proving as difficult to dislodge as Thomas, and hitting 6s, too.

 

[Spikey]

Kartik GOES BANG

Looks like Lancashire may have thrown this away - only 36 overs left in the day but 200 behind!

If they get the last two wickets now this could get really interesting.

 

[MW1304]

That's one.

 

[stumpski]

Well they've just got the first - Trego gone. But they need to finish this.

Another Championship going to the wire!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Going to be a brilliant end to today. Will Lancs have enough time to get the 200+ they need for the title?

Presume they will still have around 45 overs so at that ground it should be done, just whether they choke or not.

 

[stumpski]

Middlesex home, Berg and Simpson putting on 34 in five overs after a wobble.

 

[stumpski]

Run out at Taunton! 211 to get.

 

[superkingdave]

211 off a minimum 28 overs. You'd expect them to get more than that to be honest. Half an hour till tea then two more hours. Probably around 40 ish overs.

 

[MW1304]

Yeah Sky Sports said 36 overs a while back but you'd expect plenty more with the time frame.

The way Warks are going it seems like its all down to Lancs.

 

[stumpski]

Hopefully Somerset won't stick everyone back on the rope (as they can, of course).

Lancs fans will have enjoyed that 4 and 6 by Vince, I'm sure.

 

[MW1304]

Sky should have put their cameras down at Taunton instead.

 

[stumpski]

Listening to the Lancs - Somerset game while keeping an eye on the other one.

 

[Pothas]

Stupid shot from Vince for second day in a row, can forgive him for it this season but must improve next year.

Really should not lose though, hope Lancs get it actually would be a great end to the season.

211 off a minimum 28 overs. You'd expect them to get more than that to be honest. Half an hour till tea then two more hours. Probably around 40 ish overs.

Depends how disgruntled they remain over last season, may well see just the minimum bowled.

Depends how disgruntled they remain over last season, may well see just the minimum bowled.

Put the fielders back and Bowl Kirby, Thomas and Hussein on a long run, Murali can have a rest for the final.

That's what I was hoping for!

 

[superkingdave]

Looks like we will need about 180 in the last session. With 10 wickets in hand at Taunton you'd have to say we should do it unless we choke. Even if Somerset are on a go slow we should get about 26/27 overs as they have to bowl a certain amount in the last hour.

Reckon Hampshire might declare and give Warks a gettable target though

 

[stumpski]

From what I've heard it sounds as if Somersert are determined to only bowl the minimum; however the long spells bowled earlier by Keedy and Kerrigan ought to make that impossible.

I wonder what we'd consider safety for Hampshire - 300, perhaps? Depends how many overs are left by then, of course.
