Next Saturday it seems we are playing Essex on a "neutral" ground, which I think is The Oval. Its also on SkyCricket at 1-30pm. Will there be a "crowd" there ? Hope so, 20/20 needs a live audience.
The fixture on the Surrey website does not say 'behind closed doors' whereas it does for other fixtures
FFS, terrible final over. What was Robinson trying to do there, when he only needed to push a single
Cox doesn't look ideally suited to T20 cricket, as at this stage he doesn't seem to have the power and seems too orthodox. Plenty of time for him to improve of course
I’ve mentioned it before teams struggle to win when needing 3 off 2 ...crazy
I can see why. 3 off 2 is ok but the danger is that a slower ball, for example, is missed and then it’s 3 off 1 which is trickier. 3 off 2 is equivalent to 180 off 20 overs so not surprising that it’s challenging.

Agreed - it was the 3 off 4 that was the key but it takes a strong mindset to take a single off each ball as opposed to trying to win it with one hit. There's also the element of, in trying to do it one a time, passing the buck onto your partner as if you're not capable of winning it off your own back and of course the glory of winning the game with that one hit.

Decent live stream though the commentary is slightly early which is a bit annoying

Stevo will be torturing Surrey for another year!
To still be performing at this level at his age is a great achievement.
