Middlesex CC Starting XI Competitors

Ged Ladd publishes the eagerly awaited runners and riders in the Middlesex CC Starting XI Prediction Competition. 17 intrepid contestants slug it out in what should be a fascinating contest.

A record 17 contestants have thrownt hei hats into the ring for this contest.  At least a month before Middlesex's first County Championship match of the season, these brave souls had a guess at who the starting line up would be:

Indeed, so large was the pack and so many people sent in revisions, I am asking all contestants to check that their entries are included and that I have indeed included their last submission before the deadline.  Apologies if I have missed any entries or updates - please e-mail mtwdadmin@googlemail.com referencing the time and date of the communication which you believe I have missed - none have been deleted.

Indeed, everyone can have a butchers at the entries through the following link:

It's going to be a tight contest.  Everyone has plugged for Godleman, Malan, Udal, Scott and Murtagh to play.   Almost everyone has plugged for Morgan.   On the batting side, various permutations of Dexter, Compton and Strauss.  Some people have plugged for Berg to play an allrounder role.  The bowling permutations revolve mainly around Finn, Richardson and Silverwood, with one or two plugging for Evans.

I expect that most people will be pretty close this year, but I also suspect that a clear winner should emerge.

Good luck everyone.
