Rubbish pitch for the end of season spectacle...at the HOME OF CRICKET?!

Seriously, fuck Lords. I don't care of they've had a lot of cricket played there - that's merely just a further argument to play less games there.

Cracking end to the season starts tommorrow hopefully it goes to Friday and I'll make a trip down to Lords.

If it goes the distance with us in with a chance of it I may have to go down to Taunton.

We're gonna prepare a wicket that will turn i reckon, think there will be a winner in 3 days.

I'm going to be heading down on Thursday.

 

[blademan89]

You have to say middlesex deserve to win it throughout the season but hopefully I'm wrong. I think we do extremely well considering constant disruptions through England call ups. Also I'd never ever pick adil rashid again for yorkshire he's a fucking disgrace.

 

[Aber gas]

Not a good start for Middlesex and Somerset.

 

[hodge]

Aber you seen BBC Sport didn't select any Somerset players in their team of the season....

 

[Aber gas]

Leach is in there isn't he?

 

[Aber gas]

Fuck sake. He's not. Wow just fucking wow.

 

[JonBCFC]

Leach is in there isn't he?

Nope. Rayner is in it as the only spinner, and relegated Notts have jake ball in there.

 

[Aber gas]

Yet another email I must write.

 

[hodge]

Looks like we may have to make sure of more bonus points than Yorkies at this rate

 

[hodge]

Somerset have got a shift on after lunch

 

[hodge]

Yorkshire's over rate sucks considering they need to win.

 

[Aber gas]

What a great innings from Hildreth this is. Considering he's batting on one leg. Just shows the class of the man.

 

[hodge]

Middlesex look like they're already batting for a draw

 

[hodge]

What a great innings from Hildreth this is. Considering he's batting on one leg. Just shows the class of the man.

Just watched the highlights package, pretty much no foot movement all timing. Begs the question why notts aren't just bowling 5th stump with a few slips knowing Somerset need to keep the run rate up....

 

[hodge]

Didn't the ECB say they wanted more matches with results this season? The winner of the CC will do it with a max of 6 wins from 16 games...

 

[Aber gas]

Absolutely brilliant, heroic century from James Hildreth.
What a fantastic batsman and human being.
1000 runs for the season too.

 

[hodge]

Well batted Hildy! Injured ankle and still batting at a 50 strike rate.

 

[hodge]

Rogers and Hildreth gone, cracking hundreds though from those lads.

 

[hodge]

Play suspended for bad light in London, however looks like we won't get full batting points.

 

[Aber gas]

Absolute comedy batting ffs

 

[blademan89]

5 wickets for 0 runs hahahahahaha. Be a huge bonus if Somerset get less than 350 and only 3 bonus points

I'll laugh if it pisses down in London for three days

 

[blademan89]

Forecast looks fine. 302-2 to 322-9 that is one dramatic collapse. Plus middlesex can win it with a draw if you don't score full bonus points. By the way if we don't win it I'd rather you win it.

 

[JonBCFC]

Wouldn't laugh just yet, I'll settle for 6 bonus points with the way the other game is panning out.

You'll need to get at least 3 more wickets for maximum bonus points in 30 overs.. plus get at least 300 runs against a good bowling attack.. and win the game obviously (as we need to do) and with Middlesex Unless they come out all guns blazing tomorrow they might need the win too.

I know our collapse is shocking, but if I was a Somerset bowler I'd be licking my lips! Thank fuck for Rodgers and hildreth!

I'd have you down as favourites at the moment but that could all easily change in no time as we all know.

Yeah exactly, we will know a lot more by the end of play tomorrow.
