? They've put us in surely?

Must want to wrap it up in a couple of days, feels like a batting day. Obviously I haven't seen the wicket.

No

 

[Pevenseagull]

I thought they'd abandoned the toss and giving the visiting team the choice

Visiting team can choose to bowl first or toss for it.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Hmmm, BBC report on the toss, what's going on .... very confusing

 

[Pevenseagull]

Visiting team can choose to bowl first or toss for it.

Ah, I see, rather timid of the visiting captain not to make a decision.

As above, feels like a batting day, hopefully it is.

 

[Pantani]

Nash playing 20:20 again.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Nash seems to think it's a batting day.

The Essex captain wanted to bat, that's why they tossed for it.

Got it, at last. Thank you for your patience!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Not so much a matter of 'should have gone to specsavers' more 'should have read the rule changes'.

0/50

Still no Luke Wright I see.

50 up, I see Nash and Joyce are taking slightly different views of how Openers should bat...

And Porter and Dixon having slightly different results as the opening bowlers.

If Ollie Robinson is going in at seven there are problems. Promising bowler but never an all rounder.

If Ollie Robinson is going in at seven there are problems. Promising bowler but never an all rounder.

Very true. He averages 20 which is significantly less than all their batters down to and including their no 9. Only stats though..... we can avoid defeat here !!!! Wright and Jordan are definitely needed.

 

[Mackenzie]

Jessie Ryder at first change? Ok then.
