I imagine Westley will take the gloves 2nd innings - Essex slip well so unless pitch dies it shouldn’t slow us down too much.

Shame about Wheater, what caused the injury?

I've been told by a Surrey fan that during this last game they are doing pints at the same price as when they won the CC last in 2001, £2 a pint! Wish I'd known that before hand, I might have gone

Took a nasty one on the fingers facing Morkel

Lot of opinions on Kolpak players in the county game but while the rules are there to be bent I’d say we’ve done rather well getting Simon Harmer.

This kiwi lad Quinn has got something about him. Could be the start of a really successful opening partnership with Porter, something we haven’t had since the days of Foster and Lever.

Tough battle tomorrow but should be capable of taking 9.

Only Simon Harmer (Essex) makes County Championship Team of the season as chosen by BBC Sport users, with 5 Surrey players getting voted in.

Also interesting to see this seasons batting and bowling averages.

With a couple of dry days to come we should be capable of bowling this lot out and win this, maybe not today but tomorrow

I've had an insurance bet for the draw, tenner at 5/1. So if Slurrey do match our invincible season at least I get £50 to compensate

 

[Ex-Member1]

We do, however have previous for losing games similarly placed as this one is! (e.g Yorkshire) Just saying. COYE

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Finally, a breakthrough. Roy gone.

 

[Ex-Member1]

Pack of cards now!!!

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Same type of pitch as the test match, a little concerned they’re going to set us a awkward 150 or even more on a fourth day pitch. What odds a Surrey win at lunch on first day?

you can still get 8/1 now, can't see it myself but can see the draw. Surrey won't declare and try and win they'll try and bat as long as possible and go unbeaten for the season

 

[Ex-Member1]

All results possible IMHO.

533-8 come on Essex.
