[pevenseagull is spartacus]

whatever, he's just brought up the 100 partnership:

159/1

Batsmen: R B 4s 6s
RR Montgomerie 52 184 6 0
PA Cottey 54 110 8 0

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Now 161/3 - Adams out 2nd ball to Daffy (who's got 3/12 or something silly like that).

Papa

 

[pevenseagull is spartacus]

that all of a sudden went a bit tits rather quickly all at once suddenly

 

[Beeneys gloves]

Cottey and Ambrose the form men though

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Shhh, don't jinx them.

 

[Gwylan]

Get Adams out of that side - his last two innings have lasted three balls.

 

[FatboyTim]

Never praise this team, it makes them go all crap.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

If he's got any interest in winning the title he should drop himself for a game or 2, just to take the pressure off the others.

He's a slogger, and he's getting found out.

 

[The Large One]

Hear, hear Gwylan. Adams is a having a f***ing stinker this season.

At an average of under 17.10, this is unacceptable form from an experienced No.4 batsman, let alone the club captain in his benefit year.

 

[Simster]

We can't drop Adams, our squad is one of the smallest on the circuit and Adams on his day is a quality batsman. Class will tell in the end, we just need some patience. Well it worked wonders for Mark Butcher anyway!

as a wise man once said

Good to see another noteworthy contribution from the skipper!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Ambrose out.

He scored 2 runs in 28 balls.



187/4

 

[pevenseagull is spartacus]

ambrose gone after a slow 2

cottey racking up the runs but running short on partners

cometh the hour, cometh RMJ

 

[FatboyTim]

Nothing to worry about - we've got RMJ, Prior and Lewry still to come. Don't know why we bother with a top order!

 

[Trigger]

Least Adams is on better form than Pieman Key

 

[FatboyTim]

Even I'm better than PieMan, and I ate more pies.

 

[Bozza]

Lewry won't bat, will he - he was injured yesterday...

 

[Lord Bracknell]

215/5

RMJ out for 7

 

[Beeneys gloves]

Lewry will probably be OK to bat

In other news, Surrey are now on bowler number 9 as India A rack up runs while Ashley Giles is near his century which bodes well for England, now hopefully he can start taking some wickets
