I don't want to say I told you so BUT......... I did say 150 was a good score.
We bowled better than we batted.

It was a bowler's pitch. It was a used track and not easy to bat on. Even the dew factor didn't even things out. Essex were never in that chase really which indicated a tricky wicket. When Vince struggles to score freely you generally know it's not easy to bat on. His SR was only 112 so yeah, I don't think we batted badly at all. 155 proved more than enough runs. Good bowling but smart batting as well to get up to a score where we could defend it.

James Fuller is close to being our player of the season so far, he's becoming indespensable in all formats.
It's a rare set of fixtures where only our own game matters. The other four sides competing for a top four place all play each other, so I don't really mind how they finish. And Somerset-Kent are both too far away, in opposite directions, to be of any massive concern to us.
That and it's the PP. Should be able to find a gap without resorting to the scoop.
Shocking PP. McDermott thinks he's Jos Buttler and that was a horrid shot by Prest. All on Vince at the top of the order again.
Looks far worse than yesterday. But it's no surprise at Cardiff.
That said, he haven't helped ourselves. It's common knowledge that cross-batted shots at Cardiff are not the way to go. Joe could have been lbw about four times - because unfortunately for him, that is his favourite shot.
