Boundaries - just a distant memory now.

Boundaries - just a distant memory now.

Good, tight bowling by Surrey in contrast to the feast of pies we chucked down on day one.

 

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

Commentary is a bit Surrey biased, considering this is supposed to be a joint broadcast.

 

[Benson]

Bad news. I am only a mile from the Oval and there is no rain in sight.

I'm afraid our "batsmen" are just going to have to put up with embarrassing themselves at the hands of another fine Surrey bowling display. We are clinging on now.

You have to do.your duty for your county. Step 1: Steal a JCB.
Ummm, You know the rest . . . .

Now get on it.

 

[Krusty]

500-7

Surely the declaration is close?

 

[Mackenzie]

Anyon twats a 6......I'd love to see Batty go for 200. Monty in before Magoffin?!!!

 

[Krusty]

Magoffin really must be a ferret!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Monty up the order to put the dagger in

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

500-7

Surely the declaration is close?

5 o'clock (post#148), grind them down, wear them out; then it's 25 overs(ish) tonight and hope we get lucky with a few. If the heavy rain holds off until late afternoon tomorrow then we've a decent chance.

Saving 'Goff for the opening salvo in a bit. I think Edmund will declare when one of these gets out.

 

[vegster]

Monty up the order to put the dagger in

Yep, time to up the run rate.

 

[PaoloRossiJohnson]

we will collapse now

Don't be so negative.

 

[Krusty]

Don't be so negative.

he was only saying

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

How many overs tonight then

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

How many overs tonight then

100 per day minimum isn't it? Surrey have been slow today (surprise) and in total the teams have bowled 268 + an allownce of 2 (or is it 3?) for each innings change. That leaves 24-27 overs to go.

 

[PaoloRossiJohnson]

They just said 17 overs to go.

Enough time for the Darlings to wipe out our 175-run lead I reckon........

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Cheers, let hope we can get a nibble or two

 

[Krusty]

One down!

RJ Burns c Brown b Magoffin 7

9-1

 

[vegster]

Cheers, let hope we can get a nibble or two

Nibble acquired, 1 down for cheap !

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

The Goff gets a nibble, how marvellous

9 for 1
