Your 1 wicket win prediction might be on. Always a feeling there'll be another twist. Carse presumably bowling quickly so chances are there will either be wickets or a flurry of runs.

[Durhamfootman]

Middlesex are targeting Rushy. 3 fours in his last 2 overs

I hope we know what we are doing

Simpson gone to Carse. Surely the last pair can't add 57...

[Durhamfootman]

we now have 3 bowlers with 3 5fers for the season

and this after being thumped in each of the first 4 games

[Durhamfootman]

Rushy put away to the boundary again

these might all be inside edges and nicks to 3rd man, of course

[Durhamfootman]

2 more from Murtagh and they are presumably just going for it now

We need to hold our nerve

at least better than I am atm

[Durhamfootman]

and we did

Carse again

take a boo, son, take a boo

44 run win

[captaincolly]

and we did

Carse again

take a boo, son, take a boo

44 run win

Never in doubt!

[Durhamfootman]

at 107-4 and the other Robson flying, bowling Middlesex out for 151 didn't look that likely

Well done Bryden Carse

At least we know who 3 of our bowlers for next season are

[Arthur Crabtree]

Piece of cake.
