Goodness knows how Gus Atkinson has been selected for England. First ball last night flew over the keeper and went for 5 wides. His 3 overs went for 48 runs without taking a wicket.
Yesterday in the Vitality Blast, the Surrey/Gloucestershire game was called a tie, both sides scored 170 .. however, Glos lost fewer wickets .. could be time for a rethink about how results are assessed ?
I was at Lord's on Thursday, but couldn't bring myself to comment on this thread on a Surrey win. Amused that Sibley was playing, though was at the bar when he was batting so missed his array of scoops and reverse hits...

Anyone heading to Edgbaston next Saturday? I've got a ticket so will watch most of the Surrey semi then get a cab to Shrewsbury about 1.30pm. If Surrey make the final I'll head back to Birmingham to see us pick up the first of two pieces of September silverware. Happy days.

What a brilliant season we have had, not helped by England resting players and saddened by the death of Graham Thorpe. Our play against Durham epitomized our season some from our squad stepping up and taking the game by the scruff of the neck, in this match it was Patel who made 137 when Surrey were 5 down.

But I like you !
This is probably THE best bit of memorabilia I have, above all my Charlton player's tops and what was my programme collection.
The mighty Surrey won the John Player League in '94 down in Cardiff against Glamorgan.
After the game I managed to get this top, that season Hollioake was the leading wicket taker. We had a phenomenal team during this era.
Mrs Blackpool still won't let me hang it in the front room though.
I made sure when we bought the gaff out here that one bedroom would be for all my stuff, I might get a top framed and hung.
Have got a few scorecards signed and framed that will definitely be hung up.
Long time no see.
I'm sure our Kent brethren will pop along to offer their congratulations to us. 😀
