As well as getting stuffed we risk a points deduction for a poor pitch unless the umpires deem it down to atmospheric conditions and rank poor batting.

They only had 586 runs in total at Lord's of which Northants made only 213 in their two innings as against our 217 - so if they do something to us then they have to do something to Middlesex?

Think of the potential flak if they criticise a test ground and then later in the summer England's opponents are bowled out cheaply.
One rule for test grounds one rule for league 2 dross I reckon...
Total 217 all out - in two innings where our whole team of batsmen couldn't even average 10 in the match.
The trip to Antigua was meant to help them start to see the ball as if it was a football. They appear to still be seeing beach balls apart from Denly who is probably still recovering from his trips to Australia and Pakistan.

One person applied himself this would suggest.
Umpires clearly want this game over quickly because, of the 25 wickets to fall, 13 have been LBW!
Silly me.
15 of the 30 wickets now LBWs - try using the bloody bat!!!!

A 5th wicket in the match for Henry. Shame we couldn't give him something to bowl at.
Good luck for the season my Kentish cousins
