Surrey lose to students

I think Andrew Nixon is right about county versus state, a full state side would be ridiculous (a few years ago, a maximum capacity NSW would include Slater, M. Waugh, S. Waugh, Clarke, Katich, Haddin, Bevan, Bracken, MacGill and McGrath. If you're willing to bet against that team you're a braver man than I).
 
The third win for a University side over county opposition this year.

Middlesex 1st Innings: 273/3 declared (Hutton 111)
Cambridge UCCE 1st Innings: 151 all out
Middlesex 2nd Innings: 154/3 declared
Cambridge UCCE 2nd Innings: 277/8

Cambridge UCCE win by 2 wickets.

The UCCE program started in 2001. Prior to this season, only one UCCE team had beaten a first class county. This season has seen 3 wins for the UCCE teams. Looks like the program is finally starting to work.

When Middlesex declared,was there plenty of time,or was the match heading for a draw?

If there was plenty of time,then they must have been over-confident.

They declared early on the final morning. To be fair, when you've bowled a team out for 151 in their first innings, you don't expect them to chase 277.

No need to post the complete scorecard, a link would have done.

It was Scotland who beat Bangladesh last year.

If Ireland finish in the top 5 of the ICC Trophy, and a proposal is ratified at the ICCs next meeting, they will gain ODI status for the next 4 years.
