Over 850 runs in a 1-Day match wtf ??
( Notts./Northants.)
Hope the hot-weather refreshments didn't limit the spectacle for the lucky punters..

[Galfon]

...870 to be exact now..Northants fall just 20 short losing their last man with 10 balls to spare
sloppy...

[belgarion]

Daft question; if he gets caught from the kick, would he be out? Or does the ball hitting the ground after getting the bottom edge make it safe?

Batsman got a big bottom edge and the ball seemed to be heading straight for the stumps but he managed to sort his footwork out and booted the ball away.

You can't be caught after the ball has hit the ground.
Had he edged into his boot it'd still be live.

Cheers WT, I thought as much.

How about a different scenario where a batsman is facing spin bowling and gets bamboozled by a delivery. He doesn't make contact with the ball by his bat but kicks the ball away to stop it hitting the stumps and the ball is caught before it hits the ground?

With the usual caveats. Just to add that the catching of the ball would be irrelevant in that scenario.

V exciting finish to the county championship tomorrow.

Here's hoping in rains in London tomorrow!

It'll be fascinating to see how tempting a run chase Middlesex decide to leave.

[Galfon]

Agreed, though Yorks. better placed for a win to give them the title.
3 the magic number for them - would be 3 on the bounce & number 33 in total.
Hard to believe Middx. haven't been champs for 23 yrs. & Somerset 1 of 3 counties with a bagel against their name.....so hope it's a draw!

Middx could bat the Yorkies almost out of it knowing they'd have to chase no matter how ridiculous the target of they want to win. I'm praying for the draw now that Surrey are out of it and have avoided relegation.

Ok, theorizing further...what if the ball wasn't going to hit the stumps and it was kicked away and then caught?

Then nothing happens, just the same as a ball clipping a pad on its way through to the keeper.

Ok cool, cheers WT. I was just over-thinking the situation.

What if he did a few keepy-ups, then smashed a stunning overhead kick through the covers for 4 then ran up and down the wicket celebrating with his jumper pulled over his face?

No need to answer

4 leg byes, and 6-8 weeks to recover from broken bones on the foot?

Nah, we need a Middlesex win Please.

I disagree - we need rain storms all day.

Unfortunately forecast is fine. How many coded telephone warnings from the Somerset area do you think Lords will get today?

If the batsman was playing a shot.

Does anyone know if they have opened up Taunton to supporters to give them a chance of making some cash and sharing the potential glory?
