Sundaty t20's

Cheers frog, imran tahir in the derbys side as well and is one of my fav bowlers

Apart from Essex everyone is stalling in the batting

Somerset and Glamorgan must be knackered after playing last night in Wales.

Will the TNPL be on BF again this year? Hope so. About £10m a match was matched last year.

Raining Gloucestershire

Hope so. Lost my radio link for gloucs game, how bad is the rain? You got a link bud?

On twitter described as a 'sharp shower'

ok thanks

No sound on link

Leic end 147/9. Were 60/1 after 6.

Derby end 152/8.

You fancy somerset to defend 200+?

Market loves Middlesex top order. Yet to fire this season. But against the pub bowlers we saw last night whom knows.

Middlesex 2.56 to chase 207/9

Completed match market Glouc not look good.

Just seen that frog, won't be happy if it gets called off

No. That and Somerset are my only chance of a win.

raining at middlesex as well now

Hot mic on there on the internet radio

Am a bit scared about my rain radar reading after last night but it's just showers isn't it? Unlikely for games not to get 5 more overs in.

Glouc to be off and Middlesex to get a nice easy total to chase off 6 is my worst case.

What rain radars you lads use? Any decent links please?

Rain today is good, although not for Cardiff!

if they get 5 overs at gloucs the target will be 51

Don't care how bad you are, you should be able to defend 210. Have got on Somerset accordingly m

McCullum gone

Cheering on somerset for you lads

Run stopped Glouc

Bears making a meal of it and they could lose, I should have greened a lot earlier, small win now.

a FEW BOB ON CIDER BOYS AT 2.7

Looks like another half hour shower over Cheltenham then clear so I'd still expect a CMM yes but what do I know? I did try to back yes, then lay in the brief clear interval to back again but failed to get the lay taken.

What is latest time Cheltenham?

5.27 bud

Any chance Glamorgan at Essex?

if ingram stays in then yes

Oh turns out I did get some CMM yes lays in after all, although not for enough.

They can't play after 6pm? That seems implausible.

thats the time it says on sussexs twitter

May be correct but seems very strange.

Leics gone faves, I feel fortunate I got out!

Glamorgan interesting

Glouc off?

1.21 not to complete.

1.1 now

Looks done.. Ground staff must make a killing on weekends like this and no TV coverage

Middlesex to accelerate soon?

Bears bitting back.

Probably already too late although Morgan and Stirling can both hit a very long ball.

Got Stirling

1.01 CMM Glouc

Middlesex favourites as long as Morgan is there according to radio. 8.6 Middlesex on here.

Yes. No run also quite valuable in itself by now, needing 13. Always think if a good solid over of 15 isn't going to move the RRRmuch in your favour you're probably toast.

There are a lot of morons about.

Wish they could just put a couple of fixed high res webcams at all matches.

Morgan out

Even the morons know which side favourite now.

Glamorgan getting to 200

gloucs off, gutted

9 to win for Glam. one over

2 to win last ball

Chased it down

boom glam

off to the pub now lads, be back on tues for the t20's. Have a good evening

Animal Colin Ingram 115 from 55.

Laid some Essex at 1.14, shame i got out at 1.8, but still a profit, move on..

Need to stop middlesex now.

Some decent profit on these games if I win on Somerset, which I damn well ought to. Will punch anyone I meet from the SW for the next month if they don't. Won a bit on that CMM, lost a bit on Gloucestershire, won a few quid on the Glamorgan chase.

Well done me auld Cider drinkers..............

Well done me auld Cider drinkers..............

55 off 3 overs needed

got 26 off one over. So anything could happen.

Yeah, should win easily but must say I'm still a bit anxious. Situation where a dot ball or even a single is gold though. Batting side needs to keep clubbing boundries.

fingers crossed.

stop it lads......done, jobs a gudun........

Even Radio Somerset think its tough now with this wicket.

43 needed from 10.

Keep hitting 4s and still not good enough.

4s and 1 6 and they get it easily.

A few 6s now.

Quite funny this sort of situation: over goes 4424 and you've made it more difficult, not easier!

wide

Getting worried on radio

another 4.

32 from 7 needed

It's  still harder rather than easier. Gone for 4424wd44 and the over is still a failure!

yorker

dot

Oh, last ball dot. Definitely a failure then.

Somerset not a good bowling side for future reference.

single.

Should be ok now.

Have ye nothing better to do lads. Could go back the test draw or something.

2. Just done.

Lol, I've got a £2.6k swing on this game. I'm back to the test thread next!

On SA in the test.

Nice one FS. Middlesex always too short.

Oh yes, massively. They've been a bit long throughout but piled more on yesterday and today. I'm taking a hammering if they don't win but I'm pretty unworried. Wouldn't mind another 50 runs from them though.

Somerset not a good bowling side for future reference.

There's some fantastic T20 bowling there on an Uxbridge wicket. The exception today was Josh Davey, who    is a 2nd XI player. And Gregory isn't the first bowler this season to get seriously mauled at the death by Ryan Higgins. See what the latter did to the Gloucs attack last week.

It's the Zum batting which has been  carrying too many overweight and elderly passengers (i.e. Jim Allenby). But the bowlers know what they're doing. You can't judge them on the conditions last night.

They were up against one of the best batting line ups in the comp last night.
