Two Hants players potentially injured too. Seems an odd thing, to open with a night watch man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Looking like a 2 horse race in Championship? Essex are at this stage I get the feeling performing somewhat better than 2nd place sides at the equivalent stage in last few seasons- will be hard to get 9 wickets in a day at Taunton? As for us, Division 2- looks quite open. 2 games in hand on Sussex 19 points off in 3rd, fact we've won 1 game in 7 and yet still have a chance- top 3 go up this season so 3rd place isn't impossible. Could be Glamorgan coming up which would be a turnup! Middlesex languishing at the bottom, sleeping giant if ever there was one, Durham 2nd bottom, but their financial issues playing a part there.

Admin phantom Posted July 3, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Essex have pitches nailed on for their strengths at Chelmsford, I'd be very surprised if anyone gets anything from their this season. We have to the same down in Taunton now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Looking a 2 horse race now- Essex should wrap it up at Trent Bridge- last game of season Somerset v Essex at Taunton- title decider?? Still have moderate hope of a West Country derby in the top flight in 2020 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Brilliant all round victory and particularly pleasing to see the top order contribute. Abell, Hildreth, Banton, Bartlett all getting over a 100 runs in the match and Azhar not far behind with 91. Our first max points win of the season and we havent pulled any points on our main rivals shows how important it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key games we have in the run in mostly at home - if we can produce a few more wickets like this week that'd be grand. Then we go to Yorkshire following week Good to see Slurry messing it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly could gave been worse, COverton, JOverton, Bess could all have been picked. Just hope they send them back in one piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
