Are you for real?
Given that his technique has been shot to pieces for two years (bar ONEmassive innings) and he seems singularly ill-equipped to address it, why would you want him passing on his wisdom to the others?
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
Maybe so, the batting's been fragile for a few seasons and the team over reliant on Goodwin; without the efforts of Brown and the tail we'd have been in serious trouble this season. Personally, I don't think we've ever really replaced Montgomerie, leaving the middle order exposed on too many occasions and expecting younger players such as Gatting, Wells and Brown to bail us out. The way things seem to be going today reminds me of the car crash we tried to engineer in the second innings vs Durham at Arundel last month.
So we will have lost by 3pm?
Looks like we are hoping for rain to salvage a draw...

2.40pm: Remarkable day for late-order stands
Another remarkable late-order stand has ended at Grace Road as Leicestershire have beaten Hampshire by 126 runs- a defeat that deals a severe blow to Hampshire's promotion hopes.
Chris Wood, who came in at No 9, and last man David Balcombe put on 168 for the last wicket in 22.4 overs before Balcombe, the last man, was bowled by Nathan Buck for 73 (off 70 balls). Wood finished on 105 not out off 88 balls.
11.40am: Derbyshire pair narrowly miss world record
Derbyshire's Wayne Madsen and Tom Poynton fell 22 runs short of a world record stand for the ninth wicket when Jack Brooks bowled Poynton at The County Ground. Madsen went on to make an unbeaten 231, his highest first-class score, as Derbyshire, 253 for 8 at one time, made 569.
On the third day, Madsen piled on 223 not out off 384 balls, including 31 fours, as Derbyshire soared to 512 for 8 at the close. Their unbroken ninth-wicket stand of 259 was the third-highest in the history of first-class cricket and it produced the first century of 22-year-old Poynton's career as he finished unbeaten on 105 from 209 deliveries.
Derbyshire already hold the world record. John Chapman and Arnold Warren put on 283 against Warwickshire at Blackwell in 1910. Chapman, like Madsen more than a century later, was Derbyshire captain at the time. Warren, a fast bowler, won an England cap against Australia in 1905.
Last Bat T Poynton b Brooks 106 (270m 212b 10x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
Fall of wicket: 514/9 (156.2 ov); Partnership: 261 runs, 72.5 overs, RR: 3.58

something clever
Tea taken early
Indeed they might be able to drag out the pouring of a cup of tea for each player for a few minutes, hence delaying the match as long as possible. Perhaps even send back the dodgy looking sandwiches and demand fresh ones. We could possibly hold out for a draw if they are clever.

Rain stops play between Middlesex & Warks, with Warks 5 down and in trouble.
