Essex v Sussex @ Colchester Day 1

[Italiaseagull]

161/0 at Lunch.

We're on target to score 465 in the day.

No, they can accelerate from here on in and score at a run a ball.

I expect us to be on 550/0 at the close of play. Then Monty can retire early tommorow morning the Hard Hitting Mark Davis can come in and hit 100 of 20 balls and we declare on 700/0.

Mushy then bowls 20 consecutive off breaks which bamboozle the Essex batsmen "Shabash" and we win by an innings and 700 runs!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

If you think Adams will declare as early as 700/0 then you don't understand how his mind works.

He's more likely to bat on until about 3.45pm on Saturday.

1832/4

pssstt...

Don't tell those footy people, but if anyone has any really good inside info on transfer deals, post it on this thread and DON'T TELL ANYONE ELSE.

OK?

thats actually a brilliant idea, no one's gonna read a thread dedicated to cricket so it'll only be us....brilliant, like having our very own forum to ourselves


Oh yeah and Well Done Sussex

Cracking start from the lads, hope they didn't smash too many Cortina windows in the car park.

I believe so.

Hopefully Essex have insured all their furry dice and leopardskin seats against an arial bombardment from Monty and Murray.
