I really hope this is not the case. We need just 5 bonus points to secure the TITLE. Middlesex need a maximum point win, for a slim chance of overhauling Yorkshire, so will be absolute full strength.
Throwing away the title now, would really leave a fantastic season, with a bitter aftertaste...
If Napoli were in the Champions League, then we could just include Gilmour, as the 11th player.
Anyway, if I can be permitted to include the final QUALIFYING ROUND of the Champions League, then the team is complete...
A superb signing as skipper, but also as a player...
1110 runs - second highest in the division.
44 wicket-keeping dismissals - also second highest in the division.
Winning EIGHT of 13 matches, is astonishingly good.
That is three more wins, than Leicestershire, Glamorgan, Northants, Derbyshire and Gloucestershire COMBINED!
