I think Somerset got caught out by the weather. I don't think they were able to fully prepare the pitch and take off as much grass as they normally would. But you comment about our batters is spot on, some very ugly dismissals. Still overall a promising start to the season.cymruO wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 6:52 pm 37 wickets in 2 days - wasn't that long ago Somerset were preparing spinner's wickets. Our second innings was rather poor. Yes it was a bowlers' wicket but some of our batters were out to poor shots eg Elgar - 10 runs for the whole match. Top until next weekend, be great if Surrey lose.

Re: Essex CCC
Even better if it was rained off entirely and they got "Nul Points", but that's as unlikely as snow in London in June

Re: Essex CCC
This week's match against Warks is already a must win with Surrey now 21 points clear. Members Lunch on Saturday to look forward to. And I'll be trying to get there on other days too.

Re: Essex CCC
Somerset defeated inside 2 days !!!! Hampshire racking up the runs against Surrey 
And Jordan Cox get's a double ton for Essex. He has been a good signing.
Good to see Aaron Beard back in the side after injury, just got to get Big Paul Walter fit again.

Re: Essex CCC
Terrific opportunity for Essex to finish this half of the championship only 1 point behind Surrey - and 2 matches to play against Surrey. Not easy to take wickets but if Agar isn't going to bat Essex need a further 14 wickets. Weather looks good tomorrow - here's hoping.

Re: Essex CCC
Surrey 4 wickets down and still trailing Hants by 380 runs. I hope the weather forecast is clear for Soton for the next two days.
Kent are proving remarkably obdurate against the pace and spin of the Essex bowlers. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
First home T20 on Sunday, I'll be there. C'mon you Eagles

Re: Essex CCC
Essex bowlers have got a lot of work to do tomorrow.
I'm glad Westley decided to use his off-spin, he's got to replace Lawrence's occasional bowling.

Re: Essex CCC
Hopefully Snater will have a better day tomorrow. We need him to bowl a much better line and length and make the batters play.
