Specsavers Championship, Friday, September 15, 2017

News from the grounds, supporter views and our unrivalled live county scores service

3rd & 7 37yd

Don't think Arch loses any points for getting out, he gets so many for the strike rate bonus it doesn't matter.

Here here on this blog being brilliant. Hugely enhances the best sporting tournament in the world

Been fun Dave, always argue with passion :)

by Lawrence Payne 9/15/2017 3:40:52 PM
and now?

by Lawrence Payne 9/15/2017 3:39:27 PM
I love the fact that as the live blog is under threat because people haven't been using it. The last 4 days have been a pleasure, lots of comments, lots of support, lots of debate, even the 'chips debate Lawrence...lol. I hope the powers that be realise that this is a vital, important and fun site for County Cricket and I look forward to next Tuesday so we can start all over again.

by Dave Knibb 9/15/2017 3:39:22 PM
Well, this is all going swimmingly for everyone

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/15/2017 3:39:16 PM

Hardus Viljoen only Test Wicket AN COOK!

by nickcricket 9/15/2017 3:33:27 PM
I think I've only just worked out that David Wiese and Hardus Viljoen are different people

by Will Colwell 9/15/2017 3:30:27 PM
This is reminiscent of the Rushworth performance a couple of seasons ago, except even more heroic

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/15/2017 3:29:02 PM
@LawrencePayne Maybe, think they are getting better at producing a pitch which offers help for spin without it being over in 2 days.

Difficult to make a dustbowl in these 12 degree conditions

by Will Colwell 9/15/2017 3:27:44 PM
Taunton will be a dust bowl by then, ball ragging square. Good luck Middlesex

Marsh and Lees bring relief across the Broad Acres
CricinfoYorkshire would have slipped into the bottom two if they had lost after following-on against Surrey but hundreds by Shaun Marsh and Alex Lees guarded against calamity

by David Hopps 9/15/2017 3:24:57 PM
Sure Yorkshire would hope to beat Warkshire and take high scoring draw at Essex. Middlesex play Somerset last game with1 going down from them 2. Bit 1 eyed maybe?

by Lawrence Payne 9/15/2017 3:24:20 PM
Time for Glous and Kent to shake hands?

WICKET: Gloucestershire 289/9 (92 ov, lead by 288 - 2nd inns) v Kent

GH Roderick 75* (99)

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/15/2017 3:22:46 PM
Hopefully not. Finishing the season undefeated should be the next goal.

by MisanthropeGirl 9/15/2017 3:22:31 PM
Essex champs hopefully settle for lower gear

by Lawrence Payne 9/15/2017 3:20:25 PM
More worried about having to play Essex, Warwickshire looked like a side waiting for the season to end against Essex and that was a TV game

by nickcricket 9/15/2017 3:18:48 PM
gutting for him. Warwickshire dangerous to yorkshire, now they down, next week

by Lawrence Payne 9/15/2017 3:17:47 PM
only one man can save me now

by Will Colwell 9/15/2017 3:17:19 PM
