Essex CCC 2017

[AndyT]

Hi all,

My apologies. I think my last post has locked the thread by mistake, so I've asked the administrators/mods to delete the post, so the thread becomes open again.

 

[Blueronron]

We won Andy so your forgiven, if it was close you wouldn't have been:winking:

UTE

 

[AndyT]

Thank you.

Personally, I think it was sabotaged by a Warwickshire fan!

 

[AndyT]

I can't get on the 'Essex 2017' thread through locking myself out of it, so just posting on here.

Another excellent day, so far.

Harmer is on fire! :thumbsup:

 

[mattitouk]

Andy, how have you managed to do that again? or are you still locked out from last time?

 

[AndyT]

Thanks, mate.

Yep, I think I'm still locked from before, where I corrupted my access to the thread, trying to copy/paste something across.

However 'Cricko' had just emailed me saying I should be OK now, so just about to try.

What a marvelous day for Essex.

We'll miss Cooky from now on.

Maybe he's loving it so much, he'll announce his International retirement, tomorrow! :thumbsup:

He's not allowed, I want to see him when I go to the Oval at the end of the July!

 

[AndyT]

LOL .. Maybe just for that match, then! :winking:

 

[Blueronron]

I'll keep you company Andy whilst out of main thread :smile:

Bizarre declaration by Hampshire, they must have thought conditions would suit them in the evening
From 84.0 to 211.9 dec, then let Somerset in for 6 overs who reach 18-0, looking good for the boys providing weather holds, looks like a rainy day from 2 pm, let hope its all over the country

 

[AndyT]

Many thanks 'Blue'

There were a lot of negatives flying around last night about the pink ball going off colour and being difficult to see.

This day/night all sounds very nice, but it doesn't really work over here, because our twilight period is too long, so the lights don't fully take effect and the ball becomes difficult to sight.

Mind you, we did alright!

 

[AndyT]

Weather looks a bit better today and tomorrow.

COYE! :happy:

 

[Blueronron]

Just a full day to get maximum batting points would be great, overcast conditions ball may do some swinging

 

[AndyT]

A nice 100 lead or so by tea/dinner, whatever the 6:40pm break is and then the pink ball misbehaving under lights tonight, which will have more effect than on Monday, with it being gloomy and that.

Bring it on!

 

[Blueronron]

Play starts and 104 overs to day, let hope the weather holds

 

[Uncle Leo]

Hang on a sec...

If Andy T can only post in this Essex CCC thread, any objections to locking the other one and making this the main thread for the 2017 season?

I can do the honours if we are agreed. Three 'yes' votes and I'll get on the case.

 

[Blueronron]

I second it UL

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

It's a yes from me :thumbsup:

And if that's the case, we're 157/0. Looks like we're going for it today, Cook 99*, Browne 55*

 

[Blueronron]

AND HERE'S THE CENTURY WELL DONE SKIPPER :happy:

We really have made the most of having one of the world's best batsmen for half a season haven't we. Fantastic stuff.
