Middlesex (A) 2026

But this is a really poor Middlesex side. And what was up with the coverage?. There was the only one commentator on the YouTube commentary and he had to cover the whole match. The BBC London stream seemed to be down. I'm not sure if they actually planned to cover it, but to show it in the list of commentaries on the BBC website and then for it not to work at all is very poor.

There was a BBC commentary, but the Middlesex commentators were dire and our offering was Don Topley, so I didn't hang around for long.

A lot more scenic than I thought though

I like Merchant Taylors'

I'll take their Egyptian geese over those fricking flamingos at Whitgift.

Great  60 run win for Essex. Thats three in a row.

Maybe it just didn't work on mobile. Oh well, it sounds like a lucky escape!. Although, given it was Don Topley on commentary, I could have just opened a window. I'm about 40 miles away, but I'm sure I would have heard him.

Up to 2nd in the table with a game in hand on 3rd placed Surrey, and with a healthy run rate. Some tougher games to come after the break though, including Surrey twice. But the young players are really stepping up.
