Essex CCC 2019

[LBBlue]

How to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat with a gritty determined performance. .......

 

[Ricky Otto]

It's digging in and fighting back in that style that wins you championships.
Credit to the team, credit to the guys upstairs for getting Amir in. We have until the 20th sept to get another overseas fast bowler in for our remaining 3 games to continue the push and land the championship again.

 

[Blueronron]

Somerset 58-3

Need 200 to win !!

Fair play to Somerset on verge of winning done well to get them runs batting fourth

3 rounds of CC (D1) fixtures to go?

Yes we have Warwickshire away Surrey at home and a potential title decider at Somerset to finish the season

I’d like us to replace Siddle with an overseas batsman for the matches. Have enough cover in the bowling but can’t afford totals under 200 if we want this title.
Powers that be simply have to address the bowling friendly pitches batsmen are being asked to ply their trade on. It’s far from an even contest and obviously not producing the desired test players.

I could go either way. I think the important thing is that they are quality and fully committed. No more Tsotsobes! No complaints about the last few fc overseas: Siddle, Wagner, Amir, Vijay all been good signings.

I’m a little disappointed that Siddle was here solely to get used to English conditions and then play in the Ashes.
I’m not totally surprised TBH, I’ve always rated him in English conditions and no rules have been broken of course.
Hope Essex see things favourably as losing him has come at rather crucial point in the season.
Be interesting to see if he turns up next year, personally I hope so as bowlers like Porter, Quinn, Beard and Cook can only improve learning from someone like Siddle.
Good call BTW on Cook, believe you mentioned him before season started.
Even a broken clock etc !!!

Siddle has played county cricket in England before though, for 2 other counties previously.

You're probably right - just me being a bit bitter and twisted at the moment.
Can't think what's brought this on!

Good win tonight at top of the table Sussex in the 20 20.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

Last game of the season could be interesting.

I'd bloody love to go to that. Booked the time off work but can't find anyone to go with. What a game it looks like being

 

[Blueronron]

T20 is exciting in Southern Group
Cannot believe how my bet on Kent has backfired, big game Friday

Kent self destructed in last 9 balls v Gloucester tonight 10 needed from 9 balls they lost 4 wickets and scored 4 runs

 

[Shrimper]

Essex can qualify for the QF tomorrow if; Essex beat Kent Glamorgan beat Hampshire Would mean;
3rd - Somerset/Middlesex - 15
4th - Essex - 15
5th - Kent - 14
6th - Hampshire - 13

If Hampshire beat Glamorgan it goes to RR

 

[tia]

Down there tomorrow night and just glad there is something to play for in the game

 

[Blueronron]

We are minus on run rate sadly

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Cant see Glamorgan getting a win. They are the Kevin Bond managed T20 cricket team of cricket teams.

A big win for Essex might do it.

Think I may just pop along to the last county championship game of the season at Taunton.

 

[Ricky Otto]

Went to the Oval last night, decent performance. Qualification is unlikely though.

Some good news in Craig Overton replacing Jimmy Anderson in Ashes squad, that'll weaken Somerset for the run in

Siddle has played county cricket in England before though, for 2 other counties previously.

He has, but he's also played plenty of test match cricket in this country so it wasn't so much experience of English conditions he needed but overs under his belt. His preparation was perfect with plenty of red ball bowling whilst the likes of Buttler hadn't played a fc match since February. It's no wonder that Siddle has come up on top against Jos.

Was a great knock from Ravi.
