Jeez.
We nearly screwed that up.

Re: Essex CCC
He will never know- we don’t.
It felt to me that the sky commentators wanted the Bears to win.

Re: Essex CCC
Why have I chosen to support Essex and Leyton Orient. They both give me heart attacks.
Phew.
Can't get to finals day, but I hope Essex are first up in the semis as Mrs NES has booked us to see Madness' "Our House" at the Queens Theatre in Hornchurch in the afternoon.

Re: Essex CCC
Cracking match. Almost managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Stop throwing away their wickets and they could go all the way.

Re: Essex CCC
Good luck Ron. I can't see it myself. We scraped over the line twice after being in winning positions and before that we lost 4 in a row. However T20 is a lottery so they have every chance if the big names perform.

Re: Essex CCC
All four quarter finals won by Southern qualifiers, the Southern group is so much stronger than the North. Sky will be hoping for a Surrey vs Somerset final.

Re: Essex CCC
We are up against Hampshire who have already well and truly beaten us twice, it can't happen a third time can it?
Re: Essex CCC
In T20 you're only as good as the next game. We're firing on 3.5 cylinders. Got to be in with a great chance if we don't throw away our wickets.

Re: Essex CCC
Dan Lawrence should be available and I hope his batting is on song as it seems to have been since the move to Surrey was made public. Ravi Bopara left after we won the T20 in 2019, hopefully it'll be in the stars again, that we win the T20 when losing a good player at the end of the season. We can but hope.

Re: Essex CCC
I have a horrible feeling he's got another season on his contract but it doesn't mean they have to pick him , he is absolutely useless.
