John Turner interview

Unfortunately behind a pay wall and I'm not subscribed. But going by the introduction the news doesn't seem too good.

White ball career beckons - at best

Looking forward to today! Hopefully 3/3 with Middlesex playing last night so us being a day fresher. I’d CV like to see Vince get a few after the last couple of “knocks”.

Outground bash against a side that doesn't often shine in T20. Might make 220-240 (or not).

If Albert, Dawse (in Friday form), Stubbs and or Cartwright get established, there could be regular sixes hit.

Middlesex are absolutely rubbish. Probably only need to make 100 or so.

It didn’t really cost us anything but f**k me, that ‘run out’ was one of the worst bits of umpiring I’ve ever seen. The batter might as well have been at the ice cream van he was that far out.

Decent start at 10 an over, can’t see that total causing us undue issues. Should be finished early and get down the M3.

Probably back around now 😀. Simple day at the office. On to Tuesday now for Sussex (who Middlesex beat yesterday at hove).

Surrey lost heavily to Kent, their batting failed badly. I watched Warks v Northants (latter won after a marvellous 115 no from former Hants overseas batter Lynn). Surrey were undone by Jake Lintott who took 4 wickets for very few runs (ex-Hants and Brave, bowls Chinaman eg left arm leggie). Warks let him go, have brought in Pakistan mystery spinner Usman Tariq and blooded a youngster but are also on a terrible run having lost the ability to take wickets in the middle overs.

It’s a shame Tuesdays forecast is guaranteed rain, as Sussex really are nothing to write home about.

As I said on Friday, Surrey don't look at all impressive in this format this season.

Their line up does but the scores don’t. Sibley has far more shots than he used to have, and if he batted through at just over a run a ball others could slog around him. But not using him in the Blast so far.
