Great contributions from Crawley, Compton, DBD and Denly today. A hugely enjoyable day (especially compared to Friday) even allowing for the final hour. When Zak plays like that hard to think of anyone I'd rather be watching
Oh I should have gone to the sodding Oval after all
Passed by a Surrey fan on the way to the game a few minutes ago. That scoreline has cheered me up!
As much as it is great news, Worcs are more likely candidates to be below us than Surrey.
As it turned out despite being bowled out for 213 in their first innings, Surrey still went on to win by 281 runs
Could have been a lot more were it not for a big 9th wicket partnership when Smith and Gibbon decided to swing from the hip which took them from 102-8 to 173-9 and then 231 all out. At one point it was looking like we might win by nearly 400.
I've been working on a theory the last few years that the side that completes games in 3 days will win the championship. Basically for the last 15 year every team thats won it has gone on a run where they have won multiple games in 3 days. I'm convinced that extra day rest between games enabling players to stay fresh becomes a compounding factor and creates momentum that helps them keep winning.

Is middle and off the best guard?
409-5 at the close as this was the last over and they went off at the fall of the wicket leaving 2 balls unbowled.
Answer - Ask Charlton & Kent supporters.

Excellent signs for the rey.
Is Garrett able to bat does anyone know? If not we only have 9 wickets.
200 might do it if we can get there.
