English Domestic Season 2023

[Michelle Fivefer]

They are used to it. 14 defeats in a row and this one is looking like 15

Perhaps we shouldn;t laugh!

 

[CartyDurham]

7 overs left. May go for 10 and over 252 ish from here

hope this rain-goes away

 

[wpdavid]

Neither's the weather. The rain could save Middlesex.

Ah, Jacks is gone. Shame, I thought he was nailed on for 100.

 

[CartyDurham]

Perhaps we shouldn;t laugh!

Smile ?

 

[CartyDurham]

Looks heavy sadly.

Athers son bowling

 

[chunksafc]

Jack's gone. Cracking knock lad

 

[CartyDurham]

Shame for Jacks hes out for 95 off 45

might keep it under 250?

I reckon they will get 262

 

[CartyDurham]

I reckon they will get 262

I started at 200, then 224. I’ll try 253

 

[CartyDurham]

Are you sure? Name on shirt is "Andersson" and I thought he went under the name of De Caires?

It’s Athers son. Was mentioned by Athers in comms earlier

De Caires is Athers wife maiden name which he uses

 

[CartyDurham]

Josh de Caires is from Paddington, Middlesex, England.[2] He is the son of former England cricketer Michael Atherton,[3][4] and the great-grandson of former West Indian cricketer Frank De Caires.[5] De Caires says that he has rarely seen his father batting, as he was born eight months after Atherton's last Test match.[3] He was given his mother's maiden name,[3][4] but does not know why.[3] De Caires attended St Albans School, Hertfordshire,[6] where he was coached by former England cricketer Mark Ilott,[7] and is a student of economics at the University of Leeds.[8]

 

[CartyDurham]

210 off 16

 

[wpdavid]

I reckon they will get 262

Might be tough with the 3 proper batters gone. I reckon 250.

EDIT
Or not even that with 5 down now. Middlesex have bowled well at the middle order.
Make that 6. Obviously Abbott is capable of all sorts, but he hasn't got long to get his eye in.

 

[CartyDurham]

Love an inside edge for four

 

[CartyDurham]

Got his own back next ball. Well bowled

pulling it back but still be some chase for them

 

[CartyDurham]

Lol Narine there. Ducked one then hits one straight to the fielder

Adam ant caught it

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

It’s Athers son. Was mentioned by Athers in comms earlier

De Caires is Athers wife maiden name which he chose to use.

Yes, I know all this, and I was pretty sure he played under name De Caires? I think the heat is getting to me.

Middlesex doing better to slow the rate down

I was steaming earlier in my garden. Cooled down currently with a nice piece of cake and ice cream

P.S. Michael Atherton was one of the main reasons I started following cricket in the first place.
