[Trigger]

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr Warne.

What do reckon the chances (if the weather allows) Middlesex giving Lancashire a go at trying to win the game tomorrow?

Middlesex have more to lose in gaining a draw. I am not convinced Lancs would go for it really...They will be relatively happy with a draw.

Just read on BBC,Lancs skipper does not want to make a game of it on the last day. Just wents to try to pick-up as many points as poss.

Cushty.

Rain all day tomorrow in Manchester please. Give Lancs 6 points.

Middlesex 348/9

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Middlesex 348/9 (127.2 ov)

If Middlesex get their 4th batting point, will they declare immediately to help Lancashire get as many batting points as possible?

Or will they help us, by restricting the time the Lankies have to bat?

Or will they just lose their tenth wicket?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

We now have the answer ...

Middlesex 350/9d (127.4 ov)

Bastards!

 

[Knightsworld]

We now have the answer ...

Middlesex 350/9d (127.4 ov)

Bastards!

Seconded.

 

[Timbo]

We now have the answer ...

Middlesex 350/9d (127.4 ov)

Bastards!

To be fair Mx now need to get bowling to get as many bowling points as possible. Runs for Lancashire won't interest them, they just want to bowl Lancs out. Lets hope its for obout 160!

 

[Timbo]

Lancashire 29-1. Is first batting point at 200?

 

[Knightsworld]

Lancs have moved on to 84/2

Loye & Law in, could be explosive.

 

[Knightsworld]

I see Law has retired hurt, lets hope its serious enough for him not to play for a while

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Lancashire 215/3 (46.5 ov) at tea.

That means they've got 3 bowling points and 1 batting point so far. With 4 points for the draw, they are now 3 points behind us in the table. They'll draw level if they can score 350 by the close and they'll overtake us if they reach 400.

 

[The Oldman]

Lankies now 259 - 5

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

So as things stand, we're top by 2 points

 

[The Oldman]

326 - 8. C'mon Middlesex. Don't let 'em get 350

 

[John Boy]

What was the final score?!
