Does anyone have an idea when is Irfan going to Middlesex? He denied signing with them in the first place on Saturday, was spotted last night in Baroda and even if he left today, there isn't much chance he'll play tomorrow. Just a lot of confusion surronding the whole situation...

He he, quite a coincidence but in Warne's column in the times today, he saidbadgerhair said:
"Of the players I’ve come across this season, I’d say that Ed Joyce, of Middlesex, has most impressed me so far. He looked very calm at the crease and seemed to be in control of his game."

Conspiracy theory - can Warne say that in hope that England pick him for the Ashes and Australia would want that to happen?superkingdave said:He he, quite a coincidence but in Warne's column in the times today, he said

Also when Pieterson got dropped vs Bangladesh why was Ponting making the noises and Warne hyping him up? Maybe Australia did fancy themselves for Pieterson as well.

How can Pietersen have been dropped?Pratyush said:
I can't remember the excat dates off hand but It said he would either make his debut in the C&G this week or in the Totesport game on Sunday (or whenever the next OD match is)Sudeep said:
There is little doubt he has signed for them, but there was obviously a reason he wantted to keep things quiet for a day or so maybe he was having talks with other counties and hadn't informed them that he had decided to join Mids'... Middlesex still have conformation on their website that he has signed him you would think if things had fallen through they would have changed it.
EDIT: Middlesex Squad for C&G Second Round
Middlesex have announced their squad for the Cheltenham and Gloucester second round match against Northamptonshire tomorrow at Lord's Cricket Ground.
The match will begin at 10.45am with the gates opening at 9.45am. Tickets will be available on the gate priced £10 for adults and £5 concessions. Middlesex members will be able to get into the game for free.
New signing Irfan Pathan will not take part in tomorrows match, as he is not scheduled to arrive in the UK until this weekend.
Full Squad for tomorrow:
Weekes, Smith, Shah, Strauss, Joyce, Styris, Dalrymple, Hutton, Scott, Betts, Richardson, Peploe
Of course they want KP to play as they stand a much greater chance of getting him out, if he insists at scoring at 120 all the time and playing his shots he will offer chances, McGrath can bowl all day long outside off stump and KP wont be able to resist for long... Bell is more controlled and is able to leave deliveriesSudeep said:

More importantly Lancashire are on track for victory, if they can bat proper. Also Murali is getting some good overs under his belt, but not bowling too well in this game, his ER is 5.11. Considering the rest are going at about 3 it not that good.marc71178 said:

Yeah sorry, I`m not making any sense. A minority in Australia (Peter Roebuck the fool) believe Flintoff chucks, bending his elbow. From what I`ve seen, it looks a bit like he does, but upon closer study, it`s most likely an optical illusion.Neil Pickup said:
And if Murali chucks, that would make two of them for Lancs.
