Winner takes all final match for the Championship between Essex and Somerset . Hopefully the weather won't decide it !
4 new caps in the squad to tour New Zealand . Included the in form Dom Sibley . Others going as back up? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49796580 Jonny Bairstow the big name casualty so Buttler takes the gloves .
Well, that’s what you’ll get if you let the season drag on towards winter. There’s no respect from the authorities for the County Championship any more.
tbf we have not batted well enough all season. Bowlers have kept us in the title race right until the end. Shame for Trescothick. At least we won the 50 over cup.
Surely Somerset cannot win!? Bowlers making a go of it though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKO44811
The Hundred is being heavily promoted.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49887057 Will you be interested or see this as another quick and easy way to make money at the expense of County and test cricket?
Chris Sliverwood named new England coach . https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49957493 Been in the England set up so should know the players pretty well and done a very good job at Essex .
Certainly strong anger and ill feeling shown by the Bangladesh fans towards the ban given to Shakib. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/50234080
Somerset will start with a 12 points deduction as punishment for a poor pitch last season . https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/50466256
About time holier than thou Somerset got stung, fed up with the constant negativity towards Middlesex because they pipped them for one County Championship. Never heard a county make so many excuses for finishing second 6 times. One day they might win it, cheating or not. We will see!
We will never get promoted again, Malan has gone and we are generally sh*te, which is ironic considering our bowlers are still mostly the ones who won the title in 2016. Anyway, at least we have won 11 Championships and shared 2, so third in the all time list behind Yorkshire and the most hated Sur*ey. Let me know where Somerset rank Keighley...I will help you if you can't answer that one!
Tee hee. Oh come on, with Fraser at the ECB, surely you could sort something? (My dear old Dad will be spinning at this exchange. He was a big Middx fan).
Fraser can stay at the ECB and get as far away from Middlesex as possible. Great and loyal player, absolute shambles as an administrator. I only hope Stuart Law can somehow turn us around, I doubt it though.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/cricket/50679284 Actually quite impressive but imagine if it went off accidently whilst fielding.
Oh dear .. Not the first time this has happened and probably won't be the last! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/50973920
The odd thing is teams (especially England) don't score quickly and get out as a result, they just get out. Current run rate 2.5 per over.
