Pears 195/7 a lead of 116 - Moeen's still there, if we can squeeze out another 70 or 80 runs - we'll give our bowlers something to attack.

Baz - I can't see why you're so surprised!
This Middlesex team must rank as the worst in a fight for at least 10 years now ....
They're absolute sh*t ....

So it goes down to the wire at the end of the season.

Glamorgan v Derbyshire
Worcestershire v Sussex

We're going down, sigh.

Although it was one of "those" targets - I'm genuinely surprised at the margin of victory. Shakib has proved to be one of our shrewder overseas signings.

A betting man wouldn't put much money on us overhauling you, but Sussex have already won the division so may not be totally focused, and Derbyshire will be fighting to avoid the wooden spoon.

Bring it on!

It's been so long since Middlecrap were involved in a promotion of any sort ... but, remind me ... isn't it 3 up and 3 down...or am I thinking footie here?!!

It used to be 3 up/3 down, but it's 2up/down this year.
