First win for Essex, beating Surrey off the last ball after looking like blowing it. Keeps Surrey level on points with us. Essex play Somerset next, hopefully with the confidence from the win they can beat them aswell
**** I forgot about Kallis. He has to be in there.
I see our old friend Bashir had a tough time of it - apparently England's most expensive bowling figures in a test since 1950 (and third of all time).
In fact, according to the BBC, no test spinner with as many overs as Bashir has as high an economy rate. Whatever Stokes sees there continues to be a mystery to the rest of us mere mortals.
This has brought back memories of Roland Lefebvre. Him and Barwick won us the Sunday League. Legends.
😆 On current form that's difficult to argue against. So many quality batsman have played for the county. Do you drop Labuschsgne who was phenomenal for us in 2019 and reached the top of the batting world rankings? Gill's form in the last Test was astonishing and he did well for us.
Paul Walter 6/1 to top score for Essex against Somerset tonight. Looks a good price. Moved to the top of the order last game and looked in great touch
Just on my way back from Merchant Taylor School after watching Middlesex v Hampshire. Looked like Middlesex were going to do us a favour and beat Hampshire. Hampshire 7 down and needing 32 off the last 13 balls. Unfortunately Noah Cornwell chose that moment to bowl his second above waist full toss of the game, it also went for 4 byes. Captain du Plooy stepped up to bowl the 1 remaining ball and got thumped for 6. Much easier equation of 20 from 2 overs got knocked off quite easily.
Big game for us tomorrow now, need a win to keep us above Hampshire.
