Your kidding right? Pitches are getting flatter and flatter, its always a batsmen's game these days, so if a side is prepared to ensure their track suits the bowlers then im more than happy to see that....low scoring thrillers are better than 500 plays 600, players need to learn how to play on spinning tracks

I like pitches that become receptive to spin over the course of a game

i hate roads

I don't like paying members/punters being cheated, thanks to pitches that are taking spin mid morning on day one, any more than I like seeing other matches where 20+ wickets fall on day 1. Some of these Taunton pitches have barely made it into day 3

seems to me they are compensating for the flat nature of their pitch, a pitch which is likely to be responsible for their never having won the CC. Justin Langer thought that green tops would do it, but that was largely unsuccessful, because conditions like that suit many other teams too. Now they are trying to win the CC by playing on used or worn pitches... last year it nearly worked, so they tried it again this year.

My hope is that because this strategy nearly got them relegated this year, they might stop being so blooming stupid next year

After first insisting Middlesex could not appeal against the 2 point deduction for a slow over rate in the 'arrowgate' match, the ECB have now decided they can so a meeting next week will consider their case. If they're successful presumably it will relegate Somerset.

Mr Ian Lovett, current deputy chairman of ECB and chairman of Middlesex CCC 2007-2016. No conflict of interest though!
Mr Strauss, ex Middlesex captain, will vouch for that 100%.

The Cricket Discipline Comission are it again! Bad enough when they tried to make an example of Andrew Gale, but to interfere with the competition two weeks after conclusion and dragging up an incident when four rounds of cricket were played since is something else.

An appeal and final outcome should have been decided until the next round of matches. Other teams as well as Somerset were involved in a relegation battle and that two points difference was significant to the County Championship run-in.

Given that the domestic fixtures are usually released in six to seven weeks time, any team affected by a successful Middlesex appeal will have little time to launch an appeal of their own and receive an outcome.

If you want to guess the outcome of this think of the most irrational and illogical decision and you'll be guaranteed to be correct.

FTECB will probably decide not to relegate either and end up getting taken to court by Notts!

Excellently produced argument clearly illustrating how incompetent FTECB are.

Solution is simple, so doubtless FTECB will realise it very soon

both teams stay up, Notts get promoted, Durham get relegated into the minor counties for setting the precedent that allowed this situation to develop and also docked 187,465 ponts for each of the next 25 years, with 300% interest applied to the bail out, and demands that the Riverside ground be pulled down, the land sold and the money raised split equally between Middlesex CCC, Somerset CCC and the Graves Family foundation

everybody's happy
