It looks like we've given up on this competition.



Essex 183/4 (35.1 ov)

Essex won the toss and elected to bat first

192/6 (The joys of the ten letter rule)

I'd respond with a single smiley ... but I can't.

 

[dougdeep]

No more smiley only posts.

[Lord Bracknell]

Essex 256/9 (50.0 ov)

I was expecting worse.

 

[Kenhead]

Suppose it doesn't really matter tho does it....

Wouldn't mind us hindiring essex chances of makeing the semi's, but saying that also as Hampshire doesn't win it then i'll be happy.

Accually think i'll be routeing on Warwickshire as Patrick Troughton's grandson plays for them.

 

[dougdeep]

Sussex 124 all out.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Sussex 124 all out.

Better score than 34/7 suggested might happen. Tucker and Hodd got more than half of the runs between them.

 

[Kenhead]

Sussex 124 all out.

Atleast the footie fixtures are out on thursday and pre-season's not that far off

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Good fun with a nice cider or three in the sunshine. An astounding amount of people seem to be lacking in cricket etiquette. Countless people walking behind the bowlers arm!

 

[Trigger]

Team meeting needed desperately to sort out the one day SHIT.

Batting wasn't easy and Sussex let Essex get a good start despite the ball beating the bat a lot.
As for Sussex's batting, Yardy is struggling after his nasty injury, Hoppo needs to accept he is a level below county cricket and Monty is likely be out for a duck against Andre Nel.
