The Essex CCC Thread

[MrB]

Cook gets his 50 and then goes. Needed a big innings from him, going to be very difficult to rescue anything from this now.

90-3

 

[MrB]

And there goes Mickleburgh, game over methinks.

 

[southend4ever]

108-4 ...

Pettini Ton? whooopppp

 

[southend4ever]

Nelson... Jinx?

 

[MrB]

We're being ripped apart by the king of inconsistency himself, Saj Mahmood. It's a shame he lost his way somewhat, I thought he had a genuine chance of being a top class bowler for England but he just seemed to get more and more wayward.

 

[southend4ever]

Happy my jinx did strike losing foster on 111.

happy with that 2 out of 2 for me now.

112-7.

 

[southend4ever]

all out for 173. seriously struggling. chambers 10 for 12?

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Oh dear. A 8-wicket defeat within 2 days is a tad embarrassing, really, isn't it?

 

[MrB]

Oh dear. A 8-wicket defeat within 2 days is a tad embarrassing, really, isn't it?

To be fair it was the third day.

But yes, slightly deflating after the excellent opening two matches.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Essex at Somerset this week. COP score at the end of the 1st day, Somerset 328-7 after winning the toss and electing to bat.

3 Wickets for Masters, 1 each for RtD, Chambers and Phillips.

I hadn't realised until last night that this match was taking place, I though the first day was today. Typical Essex knock over Trscothick cheaply and can't bowl out the rest for under 350.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Is the Taunton wicket as much of a car-park this year as last year?

The fact that Caddick gets any wickets at all on that strip, let alone the decent haul he's made in the last couple of years, ought to have garnered him more kudos than it has done...

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

BBC reckoned it was bit slower than usual, but I think it's still a 400 track on a regular basis..

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

339-8, Wicket for Wright

348-9 now, Masters with the wicket

 

[southend4ever]

BUT they went on to score 387 AO!!

Trego smashing a couple of 6s.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Essex 11-0

 

[southend4ever]

essex 127 - 1

Cook out for 41.

Godleman 72 not out (3 6s - happy with that)
Maunders 7 not out (fancy him to get less than 25 on a road)

 

[canveyshrimper]

Good to see Godleman back among the runs, he hadn't reached double figures after his debut 90.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

143-1 now, just coming towards tea

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

198-2.

Godleman 103*, Mickleburgh 23*.

We need to only bat once in this game
