Essex CCC 2019

[Blueronron]

Toss at 2 pm

 

[The Big Dady]

If the powers to be will not let you play cricket in conditions like this in England in September, there is no hope for County Cricket.

This will alienate the supporters, paying public, and all the corporate sponsors.

Toss, well I could not give a toss now.

Very poor show County Cricket

Somerset are on a roll, especially their bowler's.

was alright today, what play there actually was. Taken some leave from work for this one today and tomorrow. Would have gone Somerset but no bugger is weird enough to come with

 

[Ricky Otto]

Must say I'm very disappointed with the lack of ambition from Essex with two trophies on the line. No overseas player brought in for the championship and it's very quiet ahead of the t20 finals day. Keeping my fingers crossed for a late announcement on Amir but not hopeful

 

[Blueronron]

Somerset 58-5 seems certain to be a result there

Now 59-6 Somerset

Now 61-7

Surrey 155-6

Too slow already updated lol

 

[Ricky Otto]

Would be nice to be in a position where we go into the final game ahead on points and Somerset need to beat us to take the championship.

Does anyone know if Siddle will be available?

 

[Blueronron]

Somerset now 59-7.

Surrey 170-9

Somerset 65-8 now, pitch must be crap in the morning

Surrey 174 all out 5 for cook as well

 

[The Big Dady]

Great morning for Essex

Surrey 174 all out

Porter 5-62
S Cook 5-53

Somerset 66-8

Abbott 7-16

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

174 don't sound a lot but on a pitch that is obviously seaming all over the place could be a good score. Essex will need to bat very well here.

 

[The Big Dady]

Essex will need to bat very well here.

They will

Can I say off topic what a performance by Darren Stevens at 43 years old for Kent, incredible and been constant throughout the year

Sir I doff my cap to you, and we write RTD at a mere 36 lol

No, you can't. he's a cheating ****

 

[Blueronron]

No, you can't. he's a cheating ****

Really what has he done, that I missed, he was found not guilty, yet we sign one that was

Seems a big difference in the rules on cheating
