Essex Cricket 2022

There's a real lack of power in the Essex batting which might explain Chelmsford being tougher to bat this year as a deliberate tactic. They got massively exposed at high-scoring Taunton where they hit only 3 sixes and got demolished.

Agreed that the usually strong South is weaker this year.
Think there is some power there - and actually more than in recent years (other than when we had Delport and won it) but the trouble is Rossington isn’t firing. The likes of Pepper, Buttleman, Walter and Critchley can hit 6s but are a bit hit and miss. I would rather see an explosive overseas batsman than bowler - someone like McDermott even if he didn’t come off tonight.

For tonight though the Rose Bowl is more of a running twos and threes ground.
 
Rossington needs to be dropped

We've scored 2 boundaries tonight. Unacceptable in a t20
 
Painful to watch. Just tapping it around for 1s and 2s. We need boundaries and no one is showing any attacking intent
 
That pitch was hard work tonight. Had to get ahead of the game in the PP but didn't, which is strange as intent early on has been a strength so far this Blast.
 
Decent score from us given Middlesex a fair bit of work to do
 
Think it’s about par for Chelmsford with its small boundaries.
I went for a drink at about 8 overs in the pavilion and the side on view of the wicket is superb, you could see the ball was holding in the pitch and not coming onto the bat. At that point 180+ looked near enough impossible so when we got that score I thought they would struggle to chase it.

3 t20 home games as a member and 3 convincing wins, must say I'm enjoying it!

Snater just bowled Jason Roy with a very good ball for Netherlands. Been very impressed with Snater this season, he's turning into a decent player.

Fun fact Jason Roy is Snaters cousin
 
Sussex tonight at fortress Chelmsford. Will be a big achievement if we can continue our winning home form, Sussex look strong with both Rizwan and Rashid Khan coming into the squad for the 1st time this season 😬
