I suppose that at this time of year when teams are jostling for finishing places that we see little that passes for adventurous cricket. Middlesex's declaration today, leaving Derbyshire 303 in 53 overs, hardly offered a glimmer to us and the game petered out into a draw.
Ironically, had they set us a lower total they would probably have won, but we'll never know. Despite Madsen and Rogers giving us a good start, the middle order capitulated in the chase for quick runs and Middlesex got what in league circles might be called a winning draw.
More tomorrow.
