88 run stand for 8th wicket for Leicester. Nice one Bob!
Game definitely well and truly on. All 4 results in the balance.
thats a bonus just found out how to watch it on my tv :hehe:
Where is TOBW? Hiding behind his settee until the winning run, no doubt…….it does look as though there’ll be a winning run now…..you can emerge Paul:hehe:
Duw, there’s some right panickers on here today - oh ye of little faith!
I was getting a bit jumpy this morning mind with that partnership - I think I’ll withdraw from this predicting lark with my 100 per cent record intact.
I like Northeast, he’s a calming presence.
Pearcey must have misread my comment on Johnson, I said New Statesmanlike as in he bases his Premiership on Alan B’stard.
Nice win
Middlesex could be on their way to a win at Sussex.
I just want to thank ToBW for his fine prediction although would also like to point out he referred to Priti Patel as “deeply compassionate and caring”. Just sayin.
Yep a thumping win for Middlesex. They have made a strong start to the season. Is it three up these days or just two?
I thought it was just one
Graham Thorpe, only fifty two and currently coach of Afghanistan, “seriously ill” with no prognosis for his condition. Hope he pulls through, he was England’s best batsman of the nineties in my opinion.
Yes. I remember Thorpe's application as an England opener at the time meant he was a shoe in for selection.
Nice nature about him too.
Hope he pulls through.
You are right Father, my mistake. I'm not sure why I thought he opened!
My memory is wavering somewhat but thinking about him now, I do seem to remember him getting England out of all kinds of bother in his career.
Didn't England try him in a number of positions further up the batting during their many struggles?
England chopped and changed their batting order all of the time back then. It usually depended on where they wanted to play Alec Stewart, which was anywhere from 1 to 7. Players like Hussain, Hick, Butcher and Thorpe just fitted around them. I don't think Thorpe would bat at 3 though - he was more 4 5 or 6 I think.
Glamorgan seconds are 377-1 against Worcester with the only wicket to fall being Joe Cooke for 135, Billy Root 175 not out and Colin Ingram is forty odd not out. Bit surprised Ed Byrom hasn’t batted yet - Billy Root the next player to have a go at opening for the first team?
