Two feathers

By Brian Halford on July 17, 2008 5:17 PM |

Middlesex 46 for 3 (21 overs). Shah 13, Morgan 1.

A feather in the cap of Maddy who brings himself into the attack and strikes with his seventh ball which nips away from left-hander Joyce and takes the edge on the way through to Frost.

Bringing himself on. And taking a wicket. Should that be two feathers? I suppose as, without the act of taking a wicket (the second feather) the bringing himself on would not rate as any sort of a feather so perhaps it really should be only one feather. But a big one.

Middlesex need 244 to avoid the follow-on. Intriguing. Martin and Woakes bowled well. Carter and Maddy are bowling well. Feathers all round.
