Crikey! We are on fire!!
I think Notts did.
This afternoon shows how remarkable that start was.
Shame Cooky dropped Sanga on 49. It was apparently a tough chance but you don't want to be giving an all-time great like Sangakkara lives. Five consecutive championship hundreds now for him
You should make every effort to get along to the Oval some time this summer (Or Guildford for the return match) to see him for one last time. 9000 test runs at 67 without the gloves
Yep, remarkable record this season. Over 1000 runs in all competitions.As well as five consecutive centuries in FCC, It's also his fourth consecutive 100, including a List A 100 last week, as well!
I'm hoping to get to Guildford for Sunday's play, there.

He's got golden ducks in the last two tests I've seen him in!
I was however fortunate enough to see him at his very peak at Kandy in 2007. He was averaging 150 in the previous 18 months in test cricket just off the back of a 192 in a 4th innings run chase in Australia (Rudi Koertzen sawn him off when he was threatening to chase down 500); 156* out of 268 and 100* out of 170 against Shane Bond in a low scoring series; back-to-back double hundreds against the Bangles and 278 against Steyn and Ntini.
Hoggy had Sri Lanka in a similar situation today at about 5-40 but Sangakkara made a brilliant 92 which was about half of their first inning runs. Then in their second innings he wiped away our lead and put Sri Lanka into a winning position with a 150 to take the game away from us. It was the only result in the series and entirely down to him (well Ian Bell throwing away his wicket didn't help). Absolutely brilliant. What a player

It certainly wasn't a compelling days play yesterday. Before lunch batting looked easy for Cooky and Browne, notching up nearly 60 in about 10 overs! Once Cook went, Browne really struggled to get it off the square, and I'm pretty sure he went about 30 balls without scoring! Lawrence actually played a few shots and looked to get the RR up a bit but despite some nice shots from Ravi, we were restricted by a steady Surrey bowling attack, certainly nothing special though, that's for sure! The Currans and Rampual restricted us but IMO we should have really gone after the debut spinner. Meaker barely got a look in and spent half his time falling over. We need to bat for as long as possible, say till 5pm and get a 100 odd lead and take some early doors, otherwise this is heading for a bore draw!

Against the team second in the league , I would settle for a bore draw
We could not have imagined being top and in a home semi final come end of May
Personally thought yesterday was how a four day game should be played, too many people want 400 runs on the board or two innings in a day and forget it's a four day game. Plenty of life left in this game

Okay day for us. Aim to get Surrey under a 275 lead if possible. Likely draw though
