New Summer, new England.
Same old story though - 13-1 after just a few overs. |  |

Come on Middlesex, looking forward to a trip to Worcester on Tuesday to see day 2
Is anybody watching this T-20? These Pakistan commercials make me laugh, they zoom in at actors sat in the front row of the crowd, models posing as fans holding the product…sat there, watching the cricket. It’s so cringe. |  | | |

Is 221 enough ?
Fantastic knock by Brook what a talent he is. Got to get these openers out to stand a chance of winning |  | | |

Crazy first day's play and many glum faces lround these parts. Still, Surrey always looked the best team, so well done them. |
Apologies for p**sing over your parade twice this season, but we needed that win to help our cause to remain in Division 1 which we should do now
On the subject of Surrey, they are not well run in my opinion - A well run club would being winning trophies, but they dont as was pointed out its been minimal this season. The T20 is a perfect example. They had many England Internationals playing and they still didnt make it to finals day.
You can have a big budget and they certainly have that but as we know, you can have good players but they have to gel as well. Not the best team spirit from what I can see when I have seen them this season (4 days in total) |  | | |

Although I'm gutted I still thanks Hants have had a superb season. If they can keep hold of the bowling attack and add one or two to the batting line-up we could still see the boy Vince lift the trophy next year! |  | | |

Absolute outrageous from India Womens team it's in the laws of the game but as far as the spirit of the game goes its alongside with the Aussie under arm ball v New Zealand. Ruined what could've been a great finish | | | |

For me, having watched them at Canterbury on Wednesday, India was by far the better side and deserved the series win against a very inexperienced and naive young England side… BUT to see another England woman in tears in the space of a few days is horrible - that’s not the way to win a game and as many have said a warning would have been fine instead it was premeditated with another India player. Sadly, after the respect the fans from both countries and players for Goshwami it finished in an Indian side being booed off, so really Sharma ruined her teammates last match  | | | |

It also appeared very spiteful, they couldn’t get the last two batters out and resorted to that. It wasn’t like she was running out of her crease, her bat was still in the crease while the bowler was in action. Awful awful cricket. Indian cricket fans on social media are the absolute worst, very very toxic fan base. | | | |

I reflected on this again today, and I think to myself why would you want to do that at the home of cricket, Lords of all places? I don't think that Kaur was comfortable with it, but she has no choice but to back her players.
But spite is probably the best word - They couldn't even let Dean get her 50, THEN do it. And all those young girls in the crowd watching that, really not a good way to grow the game. That will be remembered for many years to come | | | |

Superb. Me and my dad went to day 2 at Worcester Tuesday, wasn’t a lot of play, wish we went yesterday. Funnily enough I was wearing my R’s gilet and an old fella came up to me wearing an R’s jacket…
Some nice away games next year, Oval, rose bowl, edgbaston and old Trafford | | | |

OK, we're not in the summer any more, but anyone watching the T20 World Cup?
Two upsets already, with comfortable wins for Namibia (against Sri Lanka) and Scotland (against W Indies). Wow! |  |

I realise it's not summer yet but I wondered if any of you are following the IPL.
I'm a bit of a KKR fan, I love Narine's mystery spin and Andre Russell's power hitting.
By the way, if you want to watch the highlights online, don't bother with YouTube, where there are a lot of fan videos which claim to offer highlights but which are often just stills, go here to the official site, where all the highlights are available ad free:

My main concern about the IPL is that Stokes doesn't get injured. Or more injured, anyway.
Am slightly concerned that everyone seems confident Bazball is going to blow the Aussies away. I know it's worked almost everywhere else, but the Aussie attack is a serious step up to measure it against. Here's hoping. | | | |

I caught a bit of it last night.
Is this the first season they've had substitutes? It's an interesting concept but just feels like they're trying to make it more and more like football. | |

Must admit that I'm not a big fan of the IPL and really think that Andre Russell is massively overrated. I still maintain that the best batters in T20 are either current or former test players, as they have a greater array of shots, can improvise and actually watch the ball, as opposed to the T20 specialists like Russell.
Chris Gayle is a great example of a test cricket opener with an excellent batting average, who seamlessly transferred to the T20 arena in his latter years as a player and was dominant.
My main concern is that there are some current England Test players who are playing out there and are running the risk of getting injured, which could mean that they'll miss the Ashes. Stokes, Wood and Archer spring to mind, all of whom are either currently carrying an injury (Ben Stokes) or are susceptible to injuries (Wood and Archer).
Roll on the county cricket season from tomorrow. Essssssssssssex! [Post edited 5 Apr 2023 14:59]

Will be at Lords tomorrow think it will be a very hard season for Middlesex not sure the bowling is up to it in the top flight and the batting relies heavily on the Top 3 but who knows would be great to have a couple of wins over the Brown Crappers | | | |

I got my 1st season ticket for the brown hatters this year,mainly for the Ashes tickets.I’m not sure how many games I’ll be attending though.
Another championship win would be nice,and possibly a 1 day final for good measure.It all depends on how many get called up for England,obviously not a problem that middx will have to cope with these days. | | | |

Surrey CCC = The North Battersea of cricket. Will sign anything and anyone that can hold a bat or bowl a ball. | |

Just bought my first Middlesex membership. £190 for the year and free access to all home matches of whatever version of the game, access to the pavilion and also to quite a few events too. And for an additional £50 can bring a guest along as well. Maximum of 40 days of cricket, which is one hell of a bargain. Looking forward to a great season on cricket both on the county and international level. First day for me will be Saturday, hopefully Bazball hasn’t quite migrated to the county game otherwise it could all be over by Friday. | |

And middx are like the old Yorkshire side then and only get players born within the county?
When the best players spend all summer playing for England what are they supposed to do? | | | |
