Oh no, another wicket...Dex is out for 31, still he's done his bit as the score moved up to 148 for 2
 
In comes Simpson..
 
Well we had Beefy's story of the Pigeons at Lords, and not to be out done I would like to talk about the resident cat, a rather lovely young thing called Tiggy... Although some of our group wanted to do mean things to it....

I met up with Groundie and had a chat, but still managed to keep an eye on the game, he's a nice man to and certainly knows his stuff!
 
2.15 and BarmyKev finally arrives..... Let the chaos begin!
 
WOOHOO!!! Compo gets his ton, I'm so pleased we all stand and he gets a huge round of applause!!
 
Thank goodness for that I can go and get a drink now! I'm hands are so cold...
 
Oh no! Compo's out for 107, but what a brilliant knock from him....
 
Henderson comes in next, but Simpson's soon out!
 
Time for the Iceman to come in.... He get a cheer. At the moment it's 218 for 4... His first ball he gets a 4, but plays no more as he's soon out... C'mon the iceman maybe it's be your turn with the ball today then?
 
Shaggy's in with Hendo, they can knock it about a bit, just as I'm writing the last they do... it's fab!! They can hear what I'm thinking...
 
Hendo out, but a useful knock from him just adds to the total! Kabir TOOR comes to the crease with Shaggy for the last few balls....and we end our innings on 242.....
 
Next up Derby....
 
C'mon the middle!!
 
During the break Finn receives his county cap on the players balcony....... Good for him!

If the cap fits........ 

Tim's first ball goes for 4 and I groan inside, but having given him a telepathic talking to the rest of the over goes well!!
 
As he walks back after his over I grab my camera for a photo and he waves at me! He's such a nice guy!
 
So I go back to talk to Groundie and Miss Tim''s LBW (sorry Tim) One down...
 
Then not to be outdone Steve Finn gets in on the act and gets a wicket too.....
 
I'm getting a bit pee'd off now as I have stood in the same spot all game and some people have just stood right in front of me!! Great, how an I supposed to see what's happening now?
 
And now Tim has stood in front of them... it's quit funny because they move.... Maybe he heard what I was thinking...?
 
 
Shaggy has to nip off the pitch for the loo.... then the Iceman comes in to bowl... C'mon... listen to Kimmy....
 
 
Now that is the funniest thing ever... I'm just writing the above down and he's only gone and done it!! Good boy listen to Kimmy!!
 
So.... during the break some of the Uxbridge Cricket Club came round selling raffle tickets.... First prise being a full sized Middx bat signed by everyone, Hughes, Billy, Strauss....

Raffle Bat 

 
And Beefy's friend Jeff won it!!! (Although I had to collect it for him!!) It's great, and he managed to keep hold of it too!!) It's a shame I didn't win it, but I have The Iceman's shirt!!
 
In comes Hendo and Derby are soon 78 for 4. People are beginning to sound hopeful of a win here.... We seem to be stopping them well and it just might happen?
 
Shaggy's in next and get a wicket, they're all getting in on the act I tell ya!
 
Then he gets another We are on fire (which is just as well as it's getting colder by the minute!
 
Derby are 139 for 6!
 
Kabir TOOR comes in for a bowl and gets his Madien wicket on his home ground... We are Rockin!!
 
Cheerio, cheerio, cheerio... bowled Tim caught the iceman!
 
Derby are in trouble now...187 for 8....
 
Oh deary me... Could it be an early finish for the Middle?
 
192 for 9....
 
 
It's all over WOOHOO!!!!
 
We are top of the league I say we are top of the league!!!!
