    Doh! That's what happens when following the Essex lancs and Kent games.

    84-8 now.
    And Lancashire now 2 down and still 58 behind.
    Champagne on ice.

    you know Lancs will eke out a 120 lead and Somerset will capitulate....

    to confirm :

    .

    This victory takes Essex to 209 points.

    Even if Lancashire win, they will go to just 169 points.

    That would leave them 40 points behind Essex with 48 available from the two remaining matches.

    If Lancashire draw against Somerset their maximum total would be 206 and title will be Essex's, a Somerset win would of course also confirm that.

    In other news I see Essex might be in for Matt Coles. Decent player. Nice to see we might be a buying club for once.

    Boozy waste of space who hits a long ball. Not a signing any team should make unless they have a good hypnotherapist on the staff

    We got a decent season out of Jesse ryder who was a tidy bowler for us. Could do without too much disruption to a decent dressing room where we got a couple of ex Essex back. We haven't got a lot of money though, and some of our players like foster, ten doeschate, even cook and bopara are still good but getting on. Coles is 27?

    Gutted for him. Would have been a great experience.

    I'm not sure exactly of the situation with Porter, but I do think we have a problem in this country of over bowling young quick bowlers. The rumours on the Surrey circuit (Alec Stewart to some members who I know) are that the reason neither of the Currans have been picked for the lions this winter is the sheer number of overs they have bowled in the last 2 seasons. For lads who are still growing it's dangerous for them. Both of them are bowling nearly 10mph slower than a year and a half/ 2 yrs ago. And with much fewer quicker balls thrown in.

    Hope Jamie makes a speedy recovery. He's already proven that he has the ability to come back from adversity and I'm sure he will do so again.

    Thanks guys. Have known for a while but was not allowed to say.

    He goes up to Loughborough at end of the month with the England PACE team to be monitored and train with them, but is confident all will be sorted for the Lions Windies tour.

    Interesting point from Canters there about the Currans. Jamie has not got their express pace so maybe they do need the rest.

    Hope he makes a full recovery. Is it an injury that normally gets better with rest? I know that Mills and Topley had big problems with their backs as well. I wonder what can be done to avoid it?
  • MrOneLung
    MrOneLung Posts: 26,845
    I think it is just a period of rest needed. They reckon no long term damage and should just heal fine.

    Silverwood leaving to go to England as fast bowling coach. Presumably Anthony McGrath will be his replacement.

    Porter named as one of the Wisden five this year, fully deserved.

    Very proud of him.

    think it will be a tough season this year though.

    Agree. Porter and Harmer will be known quantities, and Cook, Bopara, Tendon and Foster are all getting on. Essex are bookie's favourite, but it certainly isn't going to be last year's romp.

    Think Siddle will be important for the first half of the season.
