Essex CCC

[EliotNes]

No Sam Cook tomorrow "at the request of England", that'll give the new boy a chance to show us what he can do.

Essex 94-4 at lunch - yikes

[cymruO]

A good toss to win. Would've thought Westley would have inserted them if he'd won the toss. Shame for Allison. Played some lovely strokes but has yet to have a long innings. A lot to learn but he looks good.

179 all out.

It was an OK day yesterday and finally I got to see Tall Paul make a hundred. Respect to anyone who attended today in this cold, cold wind.

It's going down to the wire in the morning, pity I'm in a pairs golf competition, so can't let my partner down otherwise I'd have gone up there for the couple of hours of play.

Essex Women vs Durham Women today. Can I get excited about this match. Sorry to all boarders into women's sport and think its equal to the mens game, but no I can't get excited.


Edit after end of match

Lost by 9 wickets. Not the most auspicious start

[EliotNes]

Mohammed Amir signs for the T20 and Jamal Richards goes on a two week loan to Kent.

Oh and Essex Women lose their third consecutive match, not that I'm bovvered.

Watched a bit of the women's matches. The kindest thing I can say is that they're a work in progress in all aspects - and bottom of the league.

Today, another match where defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory. But at least the wimmin won

[EliotNes]

Not a good day at the races today. Last match both sides found it difficult to take wickets today 13 fell in the day

[Highwood Man]

A disappointing defeat against Somerset and now we are getting a real hiding against Yorkshire. We look very average without Cook, Cox and Walter. This could be a very long season.

It certainly could be.

Thinking exactly the same.

[banqo]

Well, I don't know how we got a draw out of that but we did!!

Ditto but well done to the lads.

[Stamford O]

One more day and we'd have won it

[cymruO]

Our squad is very thin, especially in batting dept. Played this match like no Walter, Cox and Cook drained the confidence out of them.
Lose against Worcs and we'll be really struggling.
