Middlesex’s youngsters have outshone their counterparts from elsewhere to lead the county to its first List-A semi-final for 36 years according to skipper Ben Geddes.
You have to go back to the days of Gatting, Emburey and Ramprakash to find the last Middlesex side to be in the final four of such formats. Back then, Lord’s tenants lost out in the Nat West semi-final of 1990 before winning through in the Refuge Assurance Cup and going on to lift the trophy.
The modern-day equivalent of those competitions takes place in the shadows of The Hundred and by definition doesn’t include too many illustrious names on the team-sheets, thereby leaving counties relying instead on the depth of their younger talent to make progress.
