Important wicket at Wantage Road too though.

The set batsmen Coetzer gone for 84, and their tail somehow looks longer than ours!

by jimbobgooner Mon Sep 12, 2011 3:33 pm

270 for 5 at tea 130 more to get shame about the run out just before tea Doh

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 3:36 pm

gooch - wasn't a regular run out, Roy went to drive and it went straight to short leg who threw down the stumps as Roy had gone out of his crease while playing the shot.

by thegooch7 Mon Sep 12, 2011 3:41 pm

So he was unlucky then carrot? 270-4 would've sounded so much better!
Up to Nora, River and S&M to stick with Wine Gums and get us to 400..........and hopefully by close tonight!

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 3:54 pm

Yeah sounded like it but will have to wait and see it to find out I guess.

by Tibor Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:02 pm

One Jordan special needed please.

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:06 pm

Or a Maynard special...

chanderpaul has got to 50, he's looking to bat through for warwickshire

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:13 pm

Could do with Gloucs getting some more wickets pretty sharpish as well, come on Chris tell your lot would you? Very Happy

Meanwhile we get to 300 with Wine Gums taking Groenewald for 18 off an over.

by Tibor Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:24 pm

I retract my statement of Northants having a longer tail than us.

Middlebrook (who we all know can be a nuisance with the bat) and Vaas still to come. Thats if they get past Willey swinging from the hip!

by guildfordbat Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:26 pm

400 and the fifth batting point look a long way off for us at the moment.

I would be happy to settle for 370 ....

by guildfordbat Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:28 pm

Hi Tibor - I really used to slate Middlebrook on the original 606 but being fair to the old trundler he's had a very good season, especially with the bat ....

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:30 pm

turn and bounce at the Oval, a lot resting on us getting to 400 and that crucial extra point. Nervy times!

Maynard gets to 100 and Northants lose another wicket.

by Tibor Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:39 pm

1000 runs for the season for Maynard too. clap

He's been our best batsmen behind De Bruyn this year you'd have to say.

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:40 pm

1000 championship runs for Wine Gums as well now, that's 4 of the top 6 with Roy and Ramps trailing behind, admittedly having fewer innings.

by Tibor Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:41 pm

Chris obviously had a word with his Gloucs boys!

Hall was an important wicket.

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:44 pm

His average this season is over 40 yet his career average remains under 30 which shows the improvement he has made with us. I would say him, Hyphen and Davies have all been pretty equal behind Brain this year. The most exciting thing is that we have 4 players in the top 6 with so much potential to improve.

by jimbobgooner Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:45 pm

When was the last time we had 4 players pass 1,000 runs in a season chaps?

by Tibor Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:48 pm

Probably as long ago as Ramps didnt make 1000 jimbob!

Sad year for the great man...

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:51 pm

Indeed. Good to show that we can do well without him though I suppose. Tbf I can't remember a season with so few matches affected by rain which has probably helped the run getting cause, apart from The Brain the averages are at 40 or just below so nothing that special in that regard.

by jimbobgooner Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:55 pm

4th batting point in the bag Yahoo

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:56 pm

Good stuff here from these 2. Leicestershire still going well and approaching 300 now against Middlesex.

by jimbobgooner Mon Sep 12, 2011 4:58 pm

river dropped at 2nd slip Very Happy

by jimbohammers Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:02 pm

Hants with 5 drops in the field

are they trying to get into the surrey team Laugh

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:07 pm

River out so now 400 looks very unlikely. Get Maynard on strike and get him to give it a whack.

by thegooch7 Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:07 pm

Just been away for an hour and a half and I'm chuffed with this score now - Nora and River have hung about while Wine Gums makes hay - congrats to him on 1,000 as well. If we can reach 400, we can 'allow' Norhants anything up to 349! But as the swinging Willey Shocked

is doing well, they may get more than that!

by jimbohammers Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:08 pm

Jimbob, you can take them! laughing

by thegooch7 Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:10 pm

Me and my big mouth! Need S&M and the tail to hang about with Wine Gums.............come on lads keep it going to 400!!

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:13 pm

Meaker bowled off a no-ball that went for 4 Very Happy

Next delivery goes for a couple - so that ball was worth eight runs to us! surrey vs Derbyshire county championship division 2 1st cup final - Page 2 57983

Lets not forget that batting (and bowling) bonus points only count in the first 110 overs, so Northants will need to get a move on in order to register their runs in time!

They will need to get 130 in 28 overs (RRR of 4.64) to get max points

so it looks more than likely that they will only get four batting points, making it crucial that we get 400!

by Carrotdude Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:16 pm

Chopra is on 106 off 261 balls, can't imagine any of our lads doing that!

by jimbobgooner Mon Sep 12, 2011 5:17 pm

just 30 needed to see surrey promoted Erm

Chopra has been in excellent form throughout the season. I thought back in April that Laurie Evans would be pushing him hard for a place in the Warwicks side but it hasn't worked out that way at all ....

If we end the season level on points with Northants, we'll go above them in the table by virtue of having won more games .... surrey vs Derbyshire county championship division 2 1st cup final - Page 2 590675
