Essex County Cricket 2011 Season

[BLUEBLOOD]

385 is a decent first knock the way Chelmsford has panned out so far this season

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

2 down and we still need another 200 or so to avoid the follow-on.

Owais has avoided being run out by dealing entirely in boundaries so far, but is about to be joined by Ravi.

This is where Pubey should have posted his epic popcorn post.

sigh, i saw we'd lost Petts when i checked not 5 minutes back but didn't realise Mickleburgh had gone too

Ravi goes for 1 from 16 balls, England selectors feel vindicated!

Ignoring Napiers one match blitz Ravi is our top batsman this summer with 409 runs at 40.9 .. i think last time we won promotion we had 3 averaging over 60

Actually Cook's our top batsman with 504 at 42 in the CC, but I take your point that we need more. I like Owais Shah's start, he's currently 88* and if we avoid the follow on in this game, it will be mainly down to him. I'd like to think that Cook, Bopara and Shah would all average over 50, but doubt we'll see Cook again this summer.

Who would have been the three who averaged over 60 last time?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I've now come to the conclusion that Blueblood just makes up statistics:liar:

Last time we were promoted no-one scored 1,000 runs and although Bopara and Amla both averaged over 100, they played just 2 and 3 games respectively so shouldn't be counted in the averages. Next highest was RtD who averaged 45.72 from 14 matches. Tom Westley averaged 42.55 from 6 matches and no-one else - including Cook who played 8 matches and averaged 35.21 - averaged over 40.

Cook, Foster and tenDo IIRC

Thanks for that, and apologies if my memory isn't what it might be :finger2:

2009 CC stats

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Shah gone for 96

Can we not just play one day stuff please :sad:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

We finish at stumps one run short of avoiding the follow-on, with three wickets in hand.

In the IPL, RtD comes in at 20-4 and scores 70* off 49 balls:clap:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Reece Topley has signed a one year deal with Essex.

Rather surprising news, I'd have thought it would have been for longer.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Lopsy has gone! there is a god!, does this mean we can chose another overseas player?

 

[canveyshrimper]

Yes, but I wouldn't get too excited as I think it will be Bryce McGain.

 

[number11]

Yes, but I wouldn't get too excited as I think it will be Bryce McGain.

I thought he did ok last time we have been pretty much playing without a spinner all season! Makes you appreciate how good Danish was though!

 

[MrB]

Middlesex 77/3, 171 runs ahead. Looks like they're upping the pace for a cheeky declaration.

I watched him at Garons against Warwicks last season and to be fair he bowled pretty well and picked up a few wickets in a low scoring match which Essex lost.

Just after lunch we've got them at 163-6............not all over yet. If we can polish off the tail and keep the target to around 300 it could be an interesting final day.

This is the final day!
