How close are we to relegation?

 

[Don Tmatter]

Bowling attack doesnt look as strong as usual, injuries ?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Sussex win the toss and will loose.

How close are we to relegation?

Nailed on. We have only won 2 of our 3 games so far and are hovering at 2nd in the table

Calm before the storm

 

[KZNSeagull]

Gubbins out for 0 off 25 balls. He is playing for the wrong side. Middlesex 11 for 2

 

[Trigger]

Are we following on yet?

 

[Eeyore]

20/2. Middlesex already building a substantial lead.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Yes, wonderful start but thats because we are often a one man team, once Magoffin finishes his first spell, the buffet will open and Middlesex will be pushing on to an unassailable lead.

46/2. That's already 20 runs too many. They may as well declare now.

Settle in, this is going to be a huge partnership.

Hobden. 3 overs, 0 maidens, 24 runs, 0 wickets.

Buffet OPEN.

Sun's out and weather is looking good for when we have our two innings on Tuesday.

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Letting the lower order get in so they can gorge on the buffet. Sounds like Voges wanted to make Robinson and Hobden feel better before his side put them to the sword.

 

[Mackenzie]

I can't see us taking any more wickets today. These boys are a different level.
