Essex v Leics

[Matt the Shrimp]

Quote[/b] (Hong Kong Blue @ July 27 2005,12:11)]In true Essex style, I'm expecting a couple more qickets before lunch, before Claude Henderson and Paul Nixon compile a record 8th wicket stand for Leics.

*shakes head ruefully*

Uncannily accurate... check out the FoW:

FoW: 1-9 (Maddy), 2-12 (Robinson), 3-14 (Masters), 4-20 (Mongia), 5-36 (Ackerman)

So far so good. Then a small fight back:

6-123 (Maunders)

and then, in true Essex style:

7-301 (Nixon)

Aftab Habib hit 153* in the Foxes' 382/8d. Point to prove, maybe? Anyhow, Essex now 22/1 (Cook out for 4), still 64 runs behind with 9 2nd innings wickets in hand.

Why does this always happen to us?!

Coz we suck at finishing teams off, sadly

If the ******* doesn't finish me off I usually just use my hand.
