Essex CCC 2017 (Part 3)

Temporary thread hopefully...


Anyway happy with the result, and the declaration was the right call, to keep those pigeon racing, flat cap wearing northerners at bay for the time being.

Looking at both our "run in's" I think We will will beat Warwickshire, and the Lancs will beat Somerset.

Then, we should in theory have it all wrapped up by the result of our game against Hampshire, and their game against Middlesex. I wouldn't be surprised if both end up in draws. Leaving us to parade the trophy on our home ground against Yorkshire on the final match of the season.

Morning everyone!

Yep, my apologies. I locked the thread again by mistake. I think I've sussed why and have mentioned it in 'Area 51'. It WON'T happen again! :blush::facepalm:

Yep, back onto the cricket. Results went perfectly for us. Hampshire and Surrey are now out of it, as we will pick up enough bonus points, even if we lose the last three matches.

A win next week and I think it's realistically all over.

Would be nice to beat Yorkshire though to clinch it and maybe even send them down.

A bitter pill for Messrs : Silverwood and McGrath.
