Australia had only managed 289 and we.... felt all was going to plan that first innings at Old Trafford, then Merv Hughes...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Spencer Prior

    Four places (I think) left to fill and next up is Spencer Prior, albeit a day late in Ron Martin style. -------------------------------------------------- Separated by over a decade, Spencer Prior had two very different careers with Southend. Either would be sufficient to get him in the Hall of...

    Old fashioned stopper - The Poll

    To play alongside Spinner in the heart of our best Southend United XI's defence. Edit - Didn't make the poll public, if it's possible can a mod amend that? Thanks if you can.

  4. Spinner Testimonial Videos/Pics

    I was having so much fun I only recorded 1 piece of footage. Savage vs Coach Penalty shoot-out before the game Only 20 odd seconds tho. Anyone else take any pictures or videos?

  6. Question Squad for spinners' testimonial

    Does anybody have any news on who will play tomorrow? It surely can't be this seasons squad. Afterall spinner has only played alongside 4-5 of our current squad, and probably none of the current Derby squad. Not really a great testimonial is it. You would at least expect half of the team from...

    Question Spinner's testimonial..are you going?

    I'm quite interested (as is Spinner probably) as to the numbers off here going along to this soon-to-be official Southend legend, i'm also interested if any exiles are coming to see the great man. Please use the poll and give us any great stories about the big man if you can below.

    Breaking News North Bank OPEN for Spinner Testimonial!!

    Just got some superb news from the club. The North Bank will be open for Southend fans for Spinners Testimonial on May 5th. There will be beer available aswell!! So chaps, this COULD be the last chance we have of being able to use our spiritual home, so please if you are going to this game...

    Kevin Maher

    With most of the Oldham fans on 606 predicting a very comfortable win for us today, one of them mentioned that Kev's contract with them is up this summer. Poor old bloke, hope he finds something else if that's the case, and I do, really hope that he's down for Spinner's testimonial.

    FC - Matchday 5

    Well here it is, the day of my much awaited (for me) title decider back to back FC. I am 7 points clear of second and playing him at his but on my favourite dusty track. 2020 has helped him get some fitness back but he still has a couple of players with serious issues that will help me if needed...

    Eddie Thelwell - 20 yo, BT Rating=23,802 RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler. He is a destructive player with proficient leadership skills and mediocre experience. He currently has superb batting form, superb bowling form and sublime fitness. Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless Batting...

    W.Indies v England Fifty50

    Don't know if anyone is paying much attention to this increasingly irrelevant format, but England won the toss and elected to bat. One-Day star Strauss opened and is out for 15 as we are 38/1 of 8 overs, Ravi and KP in so far. Im not convinced we know how to set a total and therefore usually...

    Miller OUT! Whittaker OUT! Strauss OUT! Flower OUT!

    Bopara OUT :nope: Panesar IN :stunned: Amjad Khan is in for Sideshow at least, but the Windies go into this one without not only Benn, but also Hinds their main part-time spinner, which has got to tell you all you need to about this pitch. It is unbelievable that England's response to a must...

    Pick the team of the Tilson era

    Who would you pick in the team of the Tilson era? Mine would be Daryl Flahavan (one of only a few keepers we have seen under Tilson and some amazing performances) Duncan Jupp (his runs down the wing, his tackles, his goal v Lincoln to send us up) Adam Barrett (Southend legend, works his socks...

    If you.......

    could bring back one player from the last 10/15 years for tomorrows match (and that match only), who would it be and why? I know there will be a few that would automatically say Eastwood, but would our current strikers have a problem scoring if they had some service to latch on to? On that...

    England v India - 2nd Test Match

    England have delayed naming their team for the 2nd Test v India which starts today. Doubts as to if Monty will play after critcism of his performance in the last game. Do people think that Monty is all hype or is he genuinely a Test class spinner capable of winning games at this level?

    Spencer Prior

    Spinner tonights step back into the arena (hopefully) as he is named on the bench for Manly United who play Sydney FC at Macquarie University. Will give you an update tomorrow of how he did.

    India 2 Convicts 0

    India have just comnpleted a 2-0 series victory over Australia. From what I have seen of the convict side it is a pale shadow of the team that has dominated (2005 aside) for many years. The retirements of Warne, McGrath, Langer etc has obviously impacted heavily on them, Bully boy Hayden is not...

    What we're really missing - a Spencer Prior type

    It's too easy to cry "disgrace" after games like last night's. Let's try to be constructive and pinpoint what went wrong. The thing that stood out to me from the South Upper was the ease with which the defence got dragged all over the place. Sankofa in particular looks like the kind of player...

    England v South Africa Test Series

    1st Test against the Saffers at Lords on Thursday, which should be an interesting and competitive series which I hope England can shade 2-1. The South Africans definitely have a potent pace attack in Steyn, Ntini & Nel, plus Morkel is getting some good reviews. Dale Steyn may possibly be the...
