A bad day for Middlesex just got worse if this is true
@stevehollis75: If losing to @SussexCCC by a huge margin wasn't enough @Middlesex_CCC have had 2 pts deducted for a slow over rate too. Ouch!

Think they only gained 1 pt in this match which would make them minus 1.

The omens are good though. We started last season on negative points.

The annoying thing is, with a fit and focused Monty in this line up, we would have a perfect balance squad....

Monty will be a big miss, for you, although he might still have been a miss even if he hadn't hopped over to Essex.

TBH, his absence is the biggest reason why I think you'll be somewhere near the middle/lower middle part of the table alongside durham, this year. Having Prior with a point to prove was a bid bonus, but yesterday's innings might well be all he gives you, now he's made his point to the selectors (and that will have secured his England place, imo. I think that's all he ever had to do to get it back).

I think even if Prior hit an average of 30 runs per innings England would have took him back. The alternatives aren't bashing in the door, are they!

I would have preferred us to have loaned Monty out pending a bit more time away from the game and some moments to take stock.

Don't say that.... at least it's not a home game!

That's a done deal isn't it? 50 needed, none down. They might not need Muzza.

Jonny Bairstow is a possible injury doubt for Yorkshire's opening CC game against Somerset-injured his finger diving to try & stop a leg-side delivery from a Liam Plunkett in the 3 day friendly v Northants.

Great win. Who needs Graeme Smith when you've got Will Bragg? Tremlett when you've got Michael Hogan? Meaker when you've got Wagg?

One fifty in eight innings for Surrey now, Smith

Wonder if he's lacking in motivation.
