I did try and pick the bowlers for the lesser supported counties alongside him when I submitted my entry - didn't wanna give any of the 'big county' players more of a boost !!!
Genuinely don’t think Middlesex are out of it, if they somehow set them 200, then notts will inevitably go for it. With both yadav and de caires as their spin options one suggests they are still in with a shout on a day 4 pitch
When a bowler has taken two wickets all season, as Gilchrist has (for 380 runs), he must love it when he rocks up at the final game of the season to find that the pitch offers him no assistance whatsoever
There has been some discussion that it's a bit unfair having Div 2 players being judged alongside Div 1 players. Far easier to get runs in Div 2 than Div 1.
Tricky decision coming up for Middlesex. Do they risk an early declaration? They absolutely cannot afford to lose the game - a draw may be enough if we lose. Unless we get a few more quick wickets the chance of Kent winning seems remote.

Billings posted yesterday that he was playing Padel Tennis at Roehampton in what he described as a "Big Tourno". Glad his job description and contract, as Club Captain, doesn't encompass supporting the team especially at what is a crucial time of the season.
Cook has been at pains to say that the captaincy situation is one that they will decide over the course of the winter and that there is no hurry to do so. That suggests that Billings will be fulfilling the remaining two years of his contract albeit that he might end up playing in The Blast only.

Shocking! I wonder if Zak is there?
Unlikely we will know as I don't believe that Crawley does social media. And even if he did, I'm sure he wouldn't be telling the world and his mother his movements just in case his loyalties to his employers and club are questioned. A subtle but important difference is that Crawley reaps his salary from England and Billings from Kent.
