335 a solid effort after being inserted in September I think.

I'll have you know, SDHM, that Michael Vaughan has tipped my predictions to go to Australia, where I'll be predicting that England will be out for 250 4/5 first innings. This may or may not have had something to do with my positive predictions on ISM's financial performance.

Alan Gardner sets the scene from The Oval at the start of day two, with Yorkshire beginning to look over their shoulder

Ooft! That's bold. That's taking on the man at long-off when facing the left-arm fast man bold.
by StaggerBreaths9/13/2017 9:38:03 AM
@StaggerBreaths For once. Usually we predict tidily but a little too short and wide to be truly threatening.

I'll double down and predict Craig will have Hameed caught behind in his opening spell
by Will Colwell9/13/2017 9:37:14 AM
We predicted really well as a unit today, just kept putting the posts in the right areas and happily it came off.

@WillColwell Not around here you won't mate!

Seems only fair. A good day for LB predictions.

First wicket: Qadri, out in some way.

Declaration by then surely?
by StaggerBreaths9/13/2017 9:30:54 AM
The fixture list isn't great I agree, but the 8 team Division One I think is great in terms of making sure there is pretty much no boring middle of the division - you're either in title contention or a relegation battle and two good/bad results sends you to the other end
facebook back so the hotpants have been put away....contributions on here being torpedo'd until after lunch due to stupid work tho.......expect to see Kumar still batting this evening

I wondered why Holden had stopped picking me up fantasy points for Northants.
A sodden September outground vs Abbott and co probably not going to be an easy place to debut
by Will Colwell9/13/2017 9:14:31 AM
Also Hants. are playing with their Organ.
by StaggerBreaths9/13/2017 9:13:36 AM
Ooh, Holden debuts for Middx. A frisson of excitement there.
