Essex County Cricket 2011 Season

[canveyshrimper]

He's hit 19 4's & 9 6's so far.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

And gone to 3500 first class runs too

sounds a truly awesome knock, 490/8 at lunch with the unbroken stand at 133 from 19 overs

marvellous

On another note Ravi out for 17 for the England Lions. IMO Morgan will get the gig for at least the first 3 tests against SL.

No i think Ravis decision to stay here and play domestic cricket (and score runs and take wickets) rather than play in the IPL will see him get the nod, this is Morgans first first class knock since December i believe

Correct about Morgan I think, however the current England set up is all about continuity and Morgan carried the drinks around Australia as part of the squad, which is why I believe he'll get in the team ahead of Bopara, Hildreth or any of the other rivals. Good to see Graeme Onions back in contention.

Please find attached a link for some highlights of Day 1 play at Whitgift School including an impressive hit over square cover by Graham Napier off of Chris Tremlett for 6!

That is incredible, I make that 172 runs in the morning session!!!! Certainly only achieved it because I said that they would probably get 440 seeing how our tail is performing at the moment! :winking: GREAT knock by Napier but congrats to Wright who has stuck there, scoring 24 off 75 balls.........now THAT'S a tail that wags! Only down side I can see is that Surrey must be eyeing that pitch and saying, 'we'll have a bit of that!'

 

[BrettieAngell]

503 - 8 now, unbelievable knock from Napier!!

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Just the 27 runs from the first 10 balls after lunch :hilarious:

[Southminster Shrimper]

[yogi bear up the cagire]

He's hit 19 4's & 9 6's so far.

Since lunch he seems to just be scoring sixes........now 13!!!......................now 196........16 sixes!!!!!

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

57 off 2.5 overs since lunch ...

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

noooooooooooooo!!!!!! unlucky Napier quality performance

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

damn and Wright is run out .. obviously trying to get Napes back on strike

196*

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Jesus Christ, this is brutal:

6 1 | 6 1 1 6 6 1lb | 6 6 6

Unbelievable hitting.

Wright has now been run out for 34 - out of a partnership of 190 in just 22.2 overs.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Shame out for 196......incredible. all out 54?. Commentator said it's the the most fantastic hitting innings he's seen in his lifetime. Scorers a bit unsure of final score as the runs were coming so quickly.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

**** **** ****ity ****

Out for 196 .. 548 all out

settle for that though

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Overnight 25*
50 off 75 balls, 107 mins, 8x4, 2x6
100 off 102 balls, 148 mins, 15x4, 5x6
150 off 117 balls, 180 mins, 19x4, 9x6
196 off 130 balls, 199 mins, 19x4, 16x6

Incredible stats, it was always said his 152* verses Sussex was a one off, well he's repeated that today and some

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Think I may well give up a few minutes to look at the highlights of that innings tomorrow. The run rate today must be quite something!.....anyone know what it was?
