Middx v Kent was on BBC icon for commentary, but was able to click on it to get commentary for tonight’s game away to Sussex. 

Thought I’d be fully focussed on Internet commentary, but match started just as thrilling finish at England v Kiwi’s was reaching climax.  Couldn’t ignore that and post match interviews especially regarding that controversial run out.  

However, I caught on commentary that we were fielding a much weakened side, perhaps with one eye on Sunday having already qualified. Kevin Hand announced there was no e-mail facility at Hove (perhaps down to the fact I promised him at Uxbridge he was going to be inundated by me). This could have also scuppered Derek’s plan on sending tactical e-mails for wickets. 

He was able to confirm, obviously read MTWD analysis we were definitely through.   Vinny was first to join him in box. He confirmed no decision made on potential "home" ¼ final, but Hoval a strong consideration, having player's  views considered and seemed to be preferred option.  Looks like a case of Home and Away.    

Then Diggler took over in box.  His hip injury not as serious as first thought but unlikely to be fit for Sunday, but will be back soon- I guess the standard 2 weeks.  

E mail appeared to be back and my pre match e-mail was marginally read confirming our qualification, having plagiarised Banjo’s analysis.  Given spinners on a very quick summary was read. 

Then Ged asked Dirk about his musical abilities with saxophone and enquiring whether he was now "Middlesax". 

Derek missed early comments on Dirk’s fitness and asked about this and the e-mail connection being up.  Kev H confirmed injury as above and all e-mails were read on his phone, so “keep them short”.  Derek made some reference to our new hero “ Gonfora”  (Burton)

The Becks game was discussed and agreed a farce. 

Ged again, mentioned about Dirk’s golfing and asking him to "tee off". 

TSO came into box and earned us 2 wickets in no time. Yes there was a game on.  He indicated that he was resting ankle and should be OK Sun.

I sent e mail asking about TSO no ball problem  

Derek e-mailed referring to TSO as “ The Special One”.  Commentary team was not sure if this was referring to Mourinho or Nannes.  Basically Derek, telling him TSO to keep fit.

At this stage towards end of innings Kev H says he has lot of e mails to get through.  Ged asked (obviously missed earlier one) again about Hoval as venue. Players were in favour of it, by sound of it. 

Another question to TSO starting saying that Billy Kid favourite player then changing to Captain Morgan.   

And before I knew it,  152 was our target and my noble e mail not answered.
