However, as Middlesex are not covered, the last four stories to feature in how shabbily we treated Alan Richardson

You must be reading between the lines for I can see no criticism of Middlesex in Richardson's comments.
(please click on wording in Jonathan's message above which is a direct link)

He can't have been too happy with how we treated him as he says that he didn't enjoy 2009 and nearly quit cricket.

My point is that with a Test Match Extra correspondent both pro-Middlesex and anti-Middlesex articles would appear in our section, but without a correspondent only anti-Middlesex articles appear.

If I wanted to read anti-Middlesex things then I would either seek out a Surrey messageboard or access the board they used to have on Sport Network, which closed in May 2007, in which a lot of bad things was said about us, although they are entitled to say whatever they like on their own board.

It is clear that the main reason he did not enjoy last season was because he was injured most of the time.

Not only are Essex set to beat Middlesex to Yuvraj Singh, one of the princesses featured in the programme Undercover Princesses on BBC3 - Aaliya of Blasinor, which is a place in India - has been seen at various points in the programme wearing an Essex training shirt and even worked at their shop at the High Chelmer shopping centre.

So four things Essex can boost that Middlesex can't:

1. Someone who regularly writes about them on Test Match Extra
2. Yuvjaj Singh (TBC)
3. Presence in a shopping centre
4. Someone who is often spotted wearing their merchandise on TV

Another article has appeared on Middlesex's section on TestMatchExtra.com, namely about Toby Radford's new job as a director of cricketing excellence to the West Indies Cricket Board, although it is still not the type of article I want see appearing in Middlesex's section.

A couple of days ago, I came up with an analogy that Middlesex not having a corespondent on Test Match Extra is like the BBC picking on a Premier League football team and:

Not showing:

• That team's goals
• Times when that team went close to scoring
• Moments of magic from that team's players
• That team winning the ball in a tackle
• Post-match reaction from that team's manager

But showing:

• Their opponent's goals
• Times when their opponents went close to scoring
• Moments of magic from their opponent's players
• That team losing the ball in a tackle
• A member of that team doing something embarrassing, such as blasting the ball over the bar
• Post-match reaction from their opponents' manager

If Middlesex had a correspondent then both articles written from a Middlesex point of view and articles not written from Middlesex's point of view would appear on our page, but I would willingly take the rough with the smooth. This reminds me when I had food technology lessons at school, and I preferred to work on my own as that guaranteed that I would have to do all tasks (taking the rough with the smooth), whereas if I worked with someone else then there was a risk that my partner may do all my favourite tasks (such as measuring the ingrediants and washing up, not that washing up is necessarily part of food tech), and I would be frustrated.

I was more excited by the replacement for Singh but I won't say who that is.

I am not sure what I am more disappointed about out of Yuvraj Singh not signing or the club deciding to announce the news while my parents and I were watching Oliver! at the Theatre Royal or wherever it was.

Middlesex seem quite adept at the art of getting close to signing a player but not actually signing him in the end. You know what? I'll add that to the list of things we excel at on the PollaFinn covering Hifi future England career thread. Yuvraj can now join Ajmal Shahzad, Sachin Tendulkar, probably Makhaya Ntini and I am sure a few other players we are unaware of on the list of players we were on the brink of signing only for them to - appropriately because a major horserace took place today yesterday - 'do a Devon Loch' and end up not quite crossing the finishing line.

I really hope we can manage to sign someone of similar quality to Yuvraj in his stead as we are likely to come across many teams in our Twenty20 campaign who have taken up their full allocation of overseas players, not only for matches on their main ground but also for matches on any outground they play at as well as away matches.

I guess Essex will not be signing Yuvraj either.

Essex supporters disappointed that Yuvraj Singh will not be playing county cricket in 2010 - as the Daily Telegraph have now a touch belatedly reported - will be consoled by the news that Cardiff City FC's match reports are sponsored by Scimitar Construction Limited.

Not sure where that leaves Middlesex and Watford FC supporters though.

MI v KKR 2day. Though in the circumstances, it was too slow. Chris Gayle's 75 for KKR makes him worth looking at. Slow bowler as well.

It was his first match since arriving in India.

how embarassing, we've somehow managed to leak out that we are very close to signing tendulkar, singh and ntini but yet not going to get any of them!
with only a few weeks left to the season where is our promised second seamer to be signed and 2nd overseas player for the 20/20??
lets hope we can pull a rabbit from a hat otherwise we will be making no dent on any trophy/promotion push this season.
