BREAKING : NO POINTS DEDUCTION FOR TAUNTON PITCH
Somerset beat Middlesex by 231 runs
BBC London’s Kevin Hand is reporting that the match’s cricket liaison officer has graded the Taunton pitch as “below average” for excessive turn, but not “poor” which would have carried a points deduction.
Somerset are definitely safe.
I have a bad feeling about the Hampshire lower order which on a bad day can come and go in twenty minutes.
I think a brief but heavy shower across Birmingham would be a nice thing…
Only shower in Birmingham at the moment are our batsmen
Tea 113-4
34 overs left, 26 until the new ball is available.
FFS, 1st over after tea!!!
So Solent were saying we are down if we draw? Is that true? because of the points against thing with Middx?
Not that it is going to happen of course
No @dubai_phil , they are wrong
We are 6 points behind Middlesex, they have had their bonus points applied, we haven’t.
We have 3 bowling bonnus points to come and then 5 for a draw (if it happens), so that’s 8 points.
Not that it matters of course
I am up the walls here listening to the wireless.
If I had an umbrella with me I’d have chewed through the handle by now.
Not being in possession of a wireless or an umbrella can you let me know the latest score!! Chhers.
3 overs to go 4 wickets remaining.
