Walter is batting too high IMHO. Rossington should be playing club cricket simple as, Overweight and not made any effort to get fit in his two and a half seasons to date, he's not fit enough to bat more than half an hour as he can't run its embarrassing. Where's Kushi?

Re: Essex CCC
Nightmare at the Oval this morning Essex replying to Surreys 262 are 45 for 3 but only tells half the story, Jordan Cox out of the game after undergoing surgery to remove his appendix overnight, Jamie Porter pulled up injured this morning and Tall Paul did not field today because of a toe injury.
Re: Essex CCC
The toe again? Elgar wafting again, Browne and Westley can't get going. Bring on the rain!

Re: Essex CCC
Oh dear Surrey beat us. All credit to their bowlers but some terrible batting and dismissals from Essex. All went away from us when Patel scored that hundred in the 2nd innings, and we lost 2 early wickets - and Cox.

Re: Essex CCC
Looking back at this match, Surrey took only 18 wickets as with Cox hospitalised by appendicitis, he couldn't bat. If he had been able to bat, maybe we could have hung on for the draw. Looking at this situation, Essex have been (IMO) affected through no fault of their own - how could they have known Cox would need his appendix out. If he had been concussed on the field, Essex could have called up a player to bat in his place.
ECB need to look at the substitutes rule and allow one is such cases as Cox's.

Re: Essex CCC
Dan Sams out of the rest of the T20 due to injury and is returning to Oz. That is a blow. If ECB/T20 rules allow and he's available, I wonder if they will try and sign Bosch as a replacement.

Re: Essex CCC
Looking at the weather forecast I don't think they'll get a full 40 overs in tonight at Chelmsford. Probably a truncated match of 5-10 overs a side or no play at all. I'd prefer the latter then I can get my ticket money back.
