Essex vs SUSSEX @ Colchester Day 2

[Lord Bracknell]

612 all out.

A great, great start.

 

[The Large One]

Our 6th highest batting score ever. And our second highest of the season!

Oh, and our third highest 9th wicket partnership.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Lets hope Lewry and Taylor can grab us a couple of early wickets and provide the cracks for Mushy to exploit in the Essex batting.

COME ON SUSSEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Murray was quoted by the arsegas as saying "the wicket is already deteriorating and at times it was just a case of hanging in there"

Perfect for Mushy!

 

[FatboyTim]

ALL IS WELL.

 

[The Large One]

We do have the added advantage of only having to get 9 out, as Palladino is injured.

 

[Gwylan]

We do have the added advantage of only having to get 9 out, as Palladino is injured.

But let's hope that no-one else gets hurt as that would stop us getting maximum points.

 

[The Large One]

But let's hope that no-one else gets hurt as that would stop us getting maximum points.

No. I don't think it works that way. If Palladino is injured, Essex are effectively 20/1. Although the bowling points only come into effect if we get the other 9 wickets.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Lord B's post yesterday said (b) A maximum of three bowling points to be available as under:
3 to 5 wickets taken 1 point
6 to 8 wickets taken 2 points
9 to 10 wickets taken 3 points

So if we take eight wickets and they're all out, we only get 2 points according to that.

 

[FatboyTim]

WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT YOU DRIVING A BUS LORD B?

 

[seagull over sevenoaks]

any player absent is deemed to have their wicket taken at the end of the innings.. If we take 8 wickets and they have no batsmen left to bat they are deemed all out ie 10 wickets down.

I'm sure thats the way it works anyway..

 

[The Large One]

I think Lewry is receiving a taste of his own medicine.

 

[Brixtaan]

Kent continue their surge up the table as Shitssex look nervously over their shoulders.

Hang in there boys,things are getting tight as your hero outrageously takes all the plaudits for the England win.

 

[Gwylan]

Kent continue their surge up the table as Shitssex look nervously over their shoulders.

Hope so: Surrey have still got to play Kent.

 

[Brixtaan]

You think Brighton v Palace is bad ? wait till Kent v Slurrey.I have no argument with Shitssex,you are just an annoying amusement this season so we will endeavour to remove those scumbags from the equation for you.

Italia seagull. Can you change your signature to show us top of the league please.

 

[Gwylan]

Kent are just about to beat Notts in less than a day and a half.

Kent are looking awesome at the moment, I'm glad we played them before they'd signed Murali

144-3 Mushy's on a hat trick
