The Cricket Thread

I'm not surprised that Donald has come in. But I thought it might have been at the expense of Weatherley, or even Whiteley, rather than Prest.

Currie for Crane meanwhile was a must. Crane's been destroyed too many times at Chelmsford, just not a ground for him.

(It's not a ground for us in general, to be honest. I don't have great hopes for tonight.)

 

Yeah, good call on Crane. He'll be straight back in tomorrow anyway, possibly for Wood to give him a rest.

 

Prest injured.

I think I prefer BBC's batting order of Albert at 3 and Donald at 6, as opposed to Hants' with Donald at 3.

 

Vince doing the right thing here - not letting Nijjar settle.

 

Good to see JV get straight after Nijjar. He's pretty rubbish, and I'm surprised that Essex recalled him.

 

Too often have teams, not just Hants, been too tentative when a spinner bowls the first over. Great stuff from Vince.

 

That's dire from Albert.

 

Hey Albert, this isn't a CC match.

 

0 off 8.....

 

This is just awful from Albert.

 

Thank the lord for Vincey

 

Vince is batting on his own TBH.

 

Super 50 that.

 

Smashed Harmer into the top tier!

 

Time to six or out Albert.

 

Doesn't need to do that but too many dot balls. 2's and single's to get Vince on strike are fine.

 

Horror ball from Critchley

 

You don't want to bowl half trackers to Vince.

 

Albert's got his eye in now!

 

There we go Toby.
