Plenty of batting to come with Prior & RHB in next as well.

New ball due from start of play.

 

[tinycowboy]

Well batted, patience counts for a lot sometimes in cricket (not if you're Chris Gayle though).

 

[Krusty]

New ball due from start of play.

That'll fly nicely all over the hard Oval outfield. I can see us pushing on to an excellent first innings lead tomorrow. GOSBTS

 

[Stumpy Tim]

What disgusts me is the hope that we have a chance. The cricketing world is laughing at us pretending to make a game of this. The whole episode is embarrassing. We should just let Surrey win as quick as possible and walk away with our heads held high

Good day for Ed et al.
Could be interesting tactically tomorrow, particularly if we can occupy the crease until around 5 o'clock and up the scoring rate to 3po or thereabouts. Would put the game beyond the "Darlings" and give us something to bowl at.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Big up Luke Wells!

Good day, but what we all thinking 225 all out by midday then a hard day being taught a true batting lesson in the field

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Big up Luke Wells!

Six centuries and three of them against the try hards. When will they make their approach?

Whats the weather outlook, conditions may suit the bowlers today.

Fairly wet overnight. Drying out now but threat of more showers.

Fairly wet overnight. Drying out now but threat of more showers.

So showers all day would make it look like a draw. I am surprised Surrey with all their talent are'nt producing result wickets. I wonder if they are limited from using the main tracks due to international test and cup games.

Also wettish outlook for saturday.

Still if the match is called off Adams can send some time calling each and every test (or ex) captain to see if they want to sign for the cricketing 'galacticos'.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Is it starting on time?

We'll struggle to get that 225 by lunch then.
(Is this better HKFC?)

When I woke up this morning I thought we might not see any play until after lunch but seems we are going to get started on time
