Do you know what the pitch is like? Doesn't sound like an amazing score, better than 60 odd all out though.

KevIRL · 13-05-2007 12:42pm

217-5 1 over left
Gillespie 45*

They've hardly mentioned the ptich tbh. Mostly talking about Essex cricket future

KevIRL · 13-05-2007 12:47pm

10 off the last 227-5

Just mentioned that the pitch is good, but not particulary fast. The weather isnt great.

Decent enough target set.

Porterfield 88
Gillespie 47*
White with a useful 25* off 25 balls.

Hopefully we can keep our extras low. Essex donated 20 to us. Another hat trick from Trent would be nice too!

Solid total set but the bowling looks understrength I'm afraid. No McCallan and thats a big loss. Without botha too of course so they're missing someone to strangle the batsmen in the middle period.

On another note, that jesse ryder chap better get his act together. At least hayward has taken some wickets.

Marshy · 13-05-2007 2:38pm

Essex 75-2 after 15

Seemingly well in control

Royale with Cheese · 13-05-2007 5:30pm

Convincing win for Essex in the end. 228-3 with over 8 overs to spare.

Marshy · 13-05-2007 10:03pm

5 losses out of 5. This is getting pretty depressing.

Yeah the loss of Rankin, Morgan, O Brien and Botha (well recently) is a big blow for us. We are not Australia and once you take away a few players we are always going to struggle. Some of the defeats have being ok, as a lot of these county sides would compete well against many international teams, mainly Essex and Hampshire however we have not produced a quality batting performance sinces the world cup which is something we cant ignore.
