Shows how much I am paying attention. When and why did James Harris move to Middlesex? How is he coming along?

This is his first season there; he moved just so he could play Division 1. He actually had a clause in his Glamorgan contract to that effect.

 

[Prince EWS]

1. Over the winter
2. Maybe to increase his chances of international call-up. Or Middx could pay him more.
3. Nothing special at present. Seems to have stagnated somewhat.

Re: 2 - from what I could gather at the time, it seemed like he turned down a bigger offer from Glamorgan.

To be fair to him he's had injury problems, hamstring I believe, only in his third championship game and going a bit better in this one. The injuries are a concern though I think he missed a lot last year as well

Durham's bizarrely negative batting is going to cost them a win here I think. Got them 5 down in 37 overs, but there won't be too much longer left - I guess they'll play up til 6:30.

Essex shake hands with Ben Foakes 86*

Middlesex get the draw, 6 down at the end.

Really was a ridiculously conservative effort from Durham. It's one thing to get denied by good play, or the opposition pull of a great chase. But when you show such little intent as that, when backed up by the bowling attack we have - that's a big waste.

 

[fredfertang]

Lanky clearly not taken note of what happened in the Durham game yesterday

 

[Jarquis]

Somerset should just go have a hoick in the 4 day stuff. Works well enough in OD cricket

 

[stumpski]

Yeah, looking good for 300+.

 

[Jarquis]

Should make it comfortably. 32 needed off the last 5.

Really want to Somerset bat first at Taunton.

Peter Trego has 148 FC runs @ 13.5 this season to go with 332 OD runs @ 110.7.

As you do.

Jos brings his 50 up off 23 balls, par for the course really

fun last day at southampton.

If they let Trego open in the next 4 day game we might get past 100.

 

[fredfertang]

fun last day at southampton.

We don't deserve to go back up if that's the way we're going to play the game

 

[Jarquis]

Go home Kirby, you're crap.

 

[stumpski]

He's not a cheerful soul at the best of times, so I can only wonder what 4-0-46-0 is doing for his demeanour. It would be an incredible result for Leics to win it that's for sure.

 

[MW1304]

Posted in the wrong thread. I guess all I can say is glarlfargafl.

 

[stumpski]

Leics 200-0, and only need six an over ...

 

[Jarquis]

Somerset are actually going to lose this. Need Lew Gregory. Would have been just as expensive but taken wickets.
