Erm. Shrug. They really like Higgins?

Max Holden got a ton for Northants last week and he's on Middlesex's books. Just saying.

by Sam Inglis 6/19/2017 5:04:29 PM
That'd be the three absentees Sam. Needs must.

Has the Lords pitch been disguising the fact that Franklin is a couple of places too high in the order there?

A bloke who bats on that road every other game should average more than 39 for me

by nickcricket 6/19/2017 4:58:14 PM
They are of course looking at Gubbins at a time when he's out of form. ????

Middx tweets pushing the case for Robbo recall as Eng opener. Hmmm. Seemed out of the question 9 months back, but now I'm not so sure. I really don't think they should retain Hameed just now, he's so out of form. But iirc Jennings hasn't inspired great confidence so far this season either. Tricky. No obvious answer that I can see. I'd probably go with Jennings, if push came to shove. But I wish push and shove could be kept further apart.

And at the other end of the spectrum...

by StaggerBreaths 6/19/2017 4:43:47 PM
perhaps he is just auditioning for Roy's place?

Maybe he's decided that batting at New Road is just a lottery so he might as well slog?

by Sam Inglis 6/19/2017 4:42:26 PM
Yeah. Quick-fire cameo 37 .... not quite what your team needed from you, eh?

by Jamie Dow 6/19/2017 4:41:48 PM
Moe, why? you have 4 days!! Sigh

by rodldavies 6/19/2017 4:40:56 PM
He was stopped, rather.

Paul 'Spirit of Cricket' Stirling.

by StaggerBreaths 6/19/2017 4:27:45 PM
I can honestly say that's the first time I've seen somebody walk for an LBW

by dominicsayers 6/19/2017 4:27:07 PM
Was that the rarely seen Adil Rashid flipper, or did Stirling just miss a half tracker?

by nickcricket 6/19/2017 4:21:48 PM
Anyone who hasn't got Darren Stevens as their fantasy captain is a fool. As John Arlott once said.

by Brendan Mulcahy 6/19/2017 4:20:53 PM
Moeen in at three, can he deal with Stevens?

by nickcricket 6/19/2017 4:20:21 PM

Good to see Micheal Lumb made a big contribution befitting a senior player today...

by nickcricket 6/19/2017 4:10:47 PM
