For Middlesex supporters of a 1970s or 1980s vintage, when every other year seemed to offer a limited-overs final at Lord’s, the prospect of successive qualifications for 50-over knockouts might sound underwhelming.
However, the Seaxes are nicely poised to achieve just that, sitting top of their Metro Bank One-Day Cup group with four wins from five games and a net run-rate that comfortably outstrips that of any other county.
It’s rare for Middlesex to reach a certain standard in white-ball cricket two years running – you’d have to turn the clock back to 2004 for the last time they made successive quarter-finals. Both, admittedly, ended in defeat.
