Blast from the past

Middlesex were unpicked by the skills of Gladstone Small during the AXA League tussle at Lords in 1998. The seamer delivered 8-0-18-5 to send the home side tumbling to 102 all out, supported by two wickets apiece for Ed Giddins and Neil Smith. On a lively track, the Bears then slipped to 63 for four before Brian Lara arrived to hit the game's only six in a 20-ball 26 which secured a six-wicket victory.

Who's hot?

Will Rhodes. The Captain led from the front against Notts Outlaws, striking a maiden List A century before completing the win with 2 for 35.

Look out for

Pieter Malan - the former Bear has a century and two half-centuries to his credit in the RLC this year

On the brink

Will Rhodes. Needs 2 wickets for 150 n List A matches.
