County Championship Cricket 9/5 - 13/5

[kevshat]

Quite keen on this one.

Event	Durham vs Middlesex
Selection	Middlesex
Strength	10/10
Date	13/05/2006
Bookmaker/Price	BetFred @ 2.10 (Back)
Reasoning	Durham host Middlesex without 3 of their stars, they will be missing Steve Harmison who is still injured, Liam Plunkett and Paul Collingwood - all of which play fairly big roles in the Durham line up. Without Plunkett their attack looks a little weak. Gibson and Lewis will take wickets but the back up to them is fairly thin. Without Collingwood they are heavily reliant on some runs from Maher or Benkenstein. Middlesex on the other hand are at full strength with the exception of Andrew Strauss. They got mullered by Hampshire in their last Championship match but they were missing the influential and dependable Owais Shah and Ed Joyce who were away on A team duty. Alan Richardson may well return for this game too and I take the less hampered Middlesex to triumph in this game.
