If you weren’t at Cobden Hill yesterday you missed a treat. Well actually you missed a whole bag of treats. In fact the batting was so sweet it could have given the hundred odd crowd diabetes.
Paul Stirling 254 & Andy Balbirnie 205 The first time in the Second XI Championship that 2 batters have scored double hundreds in the same innings.
605 The highest total of runs by one team in one day in the Second XI Championship.
654 The highest innings total by Middlesex in the Second XI Championship.
In notching up these records the 2s have batted past Glamorgan’s not insubstantial 1st innings total 371 and put themselves in with a great chance of winning the game whilst batting only once.
If you aren’t at Cobden Hill for the final day, you obviously don’t like treats.
