**Official** County Cricket 2016

In the Edrich lower. Looks a belting pitch and Roy/Davies are playing some glorious shots. Never realised how similar they are in many ways. Davies not as destructive and Roy prone to more brain fades. Need a wicket

 

[Howe_zat]

Always got a raw deal did Davies.

 

[fredfertang]

Surrey might take this away from Warks if they're not careful

 

[fredfertang]

Which they have been

Always got a raw deal did Davies.

That's why davies didn't get a raw deal. Carelessness. Rather like samit as a bat. Too often languidly driving in the air and caught in covers or flicking away 2 b caught on midwicket boundary.

 

[91Jmay]

Our fielding has been sublime to the ridiculous so far

 

[91Jmay]

How close was that LBW appeal?

 

[weldone]

This is the partnership of paramount importance. I think Burns is getting a bit impatient, hope Sanga calms him down.

 

[91Jmay]

Sanga looked rough there. How close was that Patel LBW shout?

both lbws that you asked about were correct decisions. Burns reverse just about hit him outside the line (was umpires call but would have been a harsh decision), other was sliding down and maybe an edge in there iirc.

If Surrey get to 200 i think they'll win, although the sun might come out at some point and make it easier. Would prefer Rampaul in the Surrey team over Meaker if he played a bit more cricket recently.

 

[fredfertang]

Would've knocked all three over but looked like it pitched just outside the line

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah 200 a good score here. Opening partnership times pants off it but everyone else has looked dog rough.

 

[91Jmay]

Thanks on the lbw answers. Foakes one looked high and a bit legside to me

 

[theegyptian]

B lucky if they get 150 now. Imagine if the 2019 WC final is played on a wicket like this. Would certainly make it interesting.

 

[91Jmay]

Serious movement off the surface since about 15 overs in. Won't be a routine chase

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm a pitch doing something and needing to skittle the opposition out cheaply... and you opening the bowling Jade?

Having said that Surrey don't really have the bowling for nipping a team out cheaply.

 

[Howe_zat]

holy **** jade dernbach just moved one off the seam

 

[fredfertang]

Have never noticed before how far back Trott stands when he takes guard to the spinners - if he ever played back he'd be a hit wicket candidate

 

[91Jmay]

One of my favourite days watching cricket. Just brilliant. Won in Bears style. Choke the oppo then win with quality top order bats. Party atmosphere in stands as well.

 

[Howe_zat]

Fantastic innings from Trott. Smothering the seam movement and punishing the wide stuff. Textbook.
