    Skipper Ben Harte explains:

    Middlesex default

    The 1450 Middlesex captain messaged 15 minutes after play was due to start to say that his team is defaulting the match.

    Webmaster: That is totally unacceptable behaviour. Disgraceful. A crumb of comfort: in the terms of the Website Trophy points gained from games defaulted by the opponent(s), where Essex players have travelled to the match, are fully earned and count to each players points tally.

    As a metter of interest, Middlesex defaulted their match against Kent in the previous round, but in that case gave notice on the afternoon of the day before, so that Kent were able to prevent their players from travelling.

Skipper Ben Harte explains:

Middlesex default

The 1450 Middlesex captain messaged 15 minutes after play was due to start to say that his team is defaulting the match.

Webmaster: That is totally unacceptable behaviour. Disgraceful. A crumb of comfort: in the terms of the Website Trophy points gained from games defaulted by the opponent(s), where Essex players have travelled to the match, are fully earned and count to each players points tally.

As a metter of interest, Middlesex defaulted their match against Kent in the previous round, but in that case gave notice on the afternoon of the day before, so that Kent were able to prevent their players from travelling.
