Stubbs and Cartwright should not be batting 6 and 7 period.

I'd like to add to this that if they bat that low at Canterbury on Sunday someone needs to be fired on the spot.

Essex facing a potential NRR hammering

From +0.55 to -0.50

 

[st_brendy]

OK now I'm a little nervous

 

[tomw24]

This is all down to a stupid batting order.

 

[tomw24]

150 was not a target where you needed to hold Stubbs and Cartwright back. One of them should have come in at 4.

 

[st_brendy]

I assume Currie hit that because otherwise it looked pretty dead

 

[st_brendy]

Totally needless, Scott

 

[tomw24]

Idiot. Just give Stubbs the strike.

 

[st_brendy]

They must be close to the cut-off, I'd have thought

 

[tomw24]

Going forwards one of Cartwright and Stubbs bats in the top 4 when chasing unless we lose 3 very early wickets like we did against Surrey. Ridiculous decision to send Dawson in at 4 tonight.

I tell you what .
I’m glad I don’t follow cricket seriously , I’d have a bloody fit !

 

[tomw24]

Fuming TBH. Our own stupidity has made this loseable.

 

[st_brendy]

Don't think we should have taken that single

 

[tomw24]

Don't think we should have taken that single

 

[st_brendy]

Woody!

 

[st_brendy]

This has tie written on it

 

[st_brendy]

BOOM

 

[tomw24]

Well done Wood!

 

[tomw24]

Got away with it. Hopefully we never bat both Stubbs and Cartwright that low ever again. Hold one back is fine. There was no need to hold both back.

And now it's become a great night. Us winning, Essex and Kent losing.
