Back to T20 - Middx, Essex and Kent

First topic message reminder :

Stuart Meaker has replaced Jade Dernbach in the only change to the last T20 squad for the first 2 of these games, Middlesex tomorrow at home and Essex on Friday at Chelmsford. I am not sure how effective he will be in the format for us but it is excellent to hear he is fit again, how we could have done with him against Gloucestershire. I would imagine the team will be the same except Meaker for Dernbach, although I would be tempted to play Schofield instead of Wilson as he is a better batsman at the moment! I still think we need an extra batsmen though, surely Harinath would be better than Wilson at 6, I know it's not his ideal format but he might surprise people!

I think we need to win 2 out of these 3 matches to keep up our push for the quarter finals.

50 partnership

50 up for Maynard

jimbob, perhaps I should give motivational speeches in the dressing room, seems to have worked on Wine Gums.

I could be a "massive" presence.

p.s. Thanks for clearing things up Depressed.

163 did well to get up there the last over went for just... well I don't know but there were two sixes a No ball and a few doubles

163 for 5 excellent knocks at the end from wine gums and arafat

depressed it was 20

JimBob - I never got the chance to ask if Gareth can go like a Batty out of Hell?

Good knocks to start and end. Wobbly in the middle.

163 should be enough. Could have been more.

Once again Wilson was the main weak link, his position is crucial in these matches. We need a big hitter in there.

Davies' and arguably RHBs form of late is worrying.

now come on gunnersaurus win the mascot derby

tibor as stated earlier in that squad i would have schofield batting over wilson's any day of the week

Surely Wilson place has to to Lancefield, He use play rugby as a hooker I believe he must be able to hit it miles!!

Having seen S*******d's biffing at first hand this season, I would agree with you completey jimbob.

Although Harinath is also a good shout, he has a reputation for being a stodgy player, but he is capable of quick runs too.

Lancefield seems out of favour at the moment.

The problem is Tibor, if we play Schofield we might toss him the ball and ask him to bowl by mistake and that will take away any good work he does with the bat.



Hamilton - Brown Opening the bowling makes it even stranger that we have not got an extra batsman in!!

good point well made depressed.

Just returned.

Hyphen bowled the first over???

I missed the last couple of overs on Cricinfo, what happened!? Didn't think we'd get to 160, well played Mr Gums and Arafat

Yes Guildford not sure why Arafat on now so he's only bowled the one!! Only went for five though.

Evening all - looks like we got a middling sort of score...

Relieved to see Depressed still with us!

Carrot last over went for 20, A No ball beamer was smashed out the ground by Maynard and then he followed it up with another six.

Evening Corporal.

Always around, some times my job means I can't get on for a few days.

On a another topic I just paid a fiver for a Fulham Ticket (Albiet against some unknown Faroes Islanders) but a T20 ticket for Sussex at Whitgift has cost me £26.

Meakers got Dexter!!!!!!

Depressed - off topic again but I think Martin Jol is a good choice for Fulham. Hope that gets you

Hope so Guildford, I was very happy with that decision. We beeter keep football talk to the minimun as Corporal will be reminded of the Hammers season last year!

If we can get this Stirling out I think we will win this. He's def the dangerman

Great over by Boom Boom Batty, Only 1 run from it

Must have been full of mystery balls

Stirling's gone the Mystery ball has worked

Batty 1 for 4 off two so far

required rate has crept over 10

A big wicket for Boom Boom!

I've seen live one t20 game this season (v Gloucs) and Batty bowled really well in that game. Low and flat. Unfortunately, he hasn't done much since. Hopefully tonight ....

Hamilton-Browns back on!!! Bowling well at the moment

Thanks for the update depressed, looks like this will be a close one, depends how our spinners do in the middle overs now. £26 is very overpriced imo.

Haven't been to a live game yet Guildford though just got my ticket for the Sussex game at Whitgift and going to try and get to Beckenham on Sunday as its just a short Tram ride for my, bless those trams

Where's Corporal gone? Surely not watching Coronation Street with Goochie ....

Even more of a joke that we don't play another batsman when Hyphen bowls, that makes 7 bowlers!

He generally seems to underbowl himself, perhaps he is just focusing on his batting and captaincy for now but he has proved before to be a reasonably useful one day bowler.

Think I gave Batty the kiss of death just went for consecutive fours

Depressed - Beckenham, that's where Jason Roy made hay last year, isn't it? Should be fun!

Meaker just gave a four from a short ball and then a wide. Why take the spinners off when they were doing ok.

Newman getting going, this is bad news!

Batty back on and only went for 3 we needed that!!!

Finishes on 1 for 17 off four overs

Hamilton Brown only goes for 2

Required Run rate over 11 now

Run rate over 12 now

Hyphen's having a stormer with the ball, 3 overs for 10 :o

A six off a No ball - free hit

At least the free hit was a dot ball.

8??????

14 off that last over

at least recovered a bit with the last three balls dot balls

What did I say earlier about no balls? I kindly didn't name Arafat then but do now!

Ansari on now? Risky move and a 4 first ball

Just put it in the block hole!!!! Grrrrr

Another No ball this could be the over we lose it.

So much for our 'expert' death bowler....
