The Cricket Thread

Let's hope that McDermott fires tonight along with Vincey, he scores faster than Prest and we need need to build up a good DL total plus it would mean less wickets down of course.

 

18:30 start H bat 6 - 0 first over

 

Wasn't expecting Vincey to go early...

 

I tempted fate and watched from 163 to close, more than happy with that. Held off the G&T stayed on the Palm beer and saw us through to the end of play.

 

Can't rely on him every game. Important for any team to have multiple people coming to the party.

 

Yeah I know, it's just that he's in such great form.

 

Good to see Roy and Topley back. Could do with Surrey beating Essex.

 

That'll do nicely!

 

Been a few games since Weatherley has needed to come in this early

 

Good stuff. Taylor is nothing special, so it was important that we went after him.

 

Need to be careful here, two new batters. What was looking like 180 might not even be 160.

 

I know he made 18 off 11, but that was a fairly painful innings from Whiteley. Never looked in form, and summed up by getting lbw to a full toss. Should have gone over the ropes!

 

That's rubbish from Amir!

 

Good effort from Fuller.

 

I'm still yet to see why Ellis always comes in ahead of Wood.

I'm happy enough with that score. Not a worldie, but gives us something decent to defend.

 

178 - 7 ic.

 

Competitive total and we are pretty good at defending targets.

 

I think I'm right in saying that Essex have just become the first side to take Narine for something in excess of the 20s.

 

Boom

 

Perfect start!
