I'd be very careful about throwing the ball to Turner. Because whilst he will often bowl good overs, he does have that one horror over in him. And in a 6 over chase, one horror over could be match-defining.

If we even get to the 5 over mark, that is...

Well we have to use 5 bowlers. Wood, Currie, Howell are certs. I'd be reluctant to use Daws TBH.

Not with less than 10 overs.

The only rule when bowling less than 10 overs is that no-one can more than two. So we could use just three bowlers if we want.

76? That's pathetic.

I was expecting 85 to 90.

Ah Ok, that changes things then. Wood 2, Currie 2 and 2 from the others then I would say.

Maybe it was good job we didn't retire Albert then!

I'm the opposite with Dawson. Depending on the match-up, I'd be open to him bowling an over (or two).

 

[st_brendy]

I'm assuming a wet ball has resulted in Mills bowling two high full-tosses and duly being removed from Sussex's bowling innings after less than one over. In theory that should be very helpful for Essex. But I'm guessing the rain might come back there at some point, and potentially no-result the match anyway.

As I suspected.

Essex finally perform, and yet the rain prevents a certain four points.

 

[tomw24]

I'd probably bowl Wood out in overs 1 and 3.

 

[tomw24]

Out-bloody-standing from Wood!

 

[st_brendy]

A maiden in a 6 over shoot-out!

 

[tomw24]

After that I like getting Fuller in now.

 

[st_brendy]

One more good over should be enough. Because something in the region of 65 to 68 from 4 overs would be very tough.

 

[tomw24]

Lucky 4!

 

[tomw24]

Poor keeping.

 

[tomw24]

Good, Vince is going with Wood again.

 

[tomw24]

Yes!

 

[tomw24]

This was why I didn't want Dawson bowling.

 

[tomw24]

Abysmal fielding.

 

[tomw24]

So after all that it's a tie!

 

[tomw24]

I mean, may as well have called it off FFS!
