Clark sent Clarke's stumps cartwheeling. 77/8.

[Dave Cooper please]

Clarke bowled clark ( or was it clark bowled Clarke?) 77-8

It is an odd bit of batting by Middlesex. Scoring at 2 an over, over the last 10 overs. You'd think they'd be desperately trying to score runs quickly.

Maybe they've given up and decided to f*ck Yorkshire over.

I reckon Middlesex want to set a target of around 160/180 and put Yorkshire in with 20 overs to get it.

You're probably right, fucking stupid plan that gifts the title to somerset though.

about 200 from 40-45 would be giving themselves a proper chance because all 3 results are still possible then, this silliness is just taking time out of the game for little purpose.

[Dave Cooper please]

Reckon I'll be in town soon. Rikki clatters another set of stumps. 83-9

[adrenachrome]

More cartwheeling stumps courtesy of Clarke. 9 down.

Middlesex must have got the hump with Yorkshire after they batted on yesterday.

4-4-6-0-4 by Lilley of Patel.

Middlesex must have got the hump with Yorkshire after they batted on yesterday.

Yep I reckon so - by batting on they made it almost impossible for Middlesex to win. Why should Middlesex set them 180 off 30.....they wont be able to bowl them out in that short a time.

[adrenachrome]

Match over. Clarke 4 for 20.

[Dave Cooper please]

And we stay up.
Excellent bowling from Rikki and Jeets.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Can see Middlesex and Yorkshire being a grudge match next year.

Come on Hampshire, only 9 wickets to go.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Lees is just a wicket taking machine. Oops.

Simpson goes after scoring thirty-one in six minutes.

[paul_e]

how very odd, after all this silliness Simpson goes out and does that.  Push things along like that an hour ago and you could've been looking at 240 from 45-50 which would've been really interesting.
