Essex all out 293. Leics with a lead of 40.

Yep done well to get Shane Snater early or Steve Snater according to RR.

Looking with envy at how well Glamorgan are doing. Feels like they've really attacked the season with the surprise factor of a newly-promoted side in a way we haven't.

 

Broadly, we've looked respectable, but it still feels like a bit of a missed opportunity.

Richard Dawson was a great coaching appointment at the start of last season, he's really transformed them.

Not sure about this season but they also had Jonathan Trott and Ian Harvey on the coaching staff last season

[STEVIE B]

Awful shot by Budinger. 14-2

Harvey is on their coaching team this year. Not sure what Trott is up to, usually does some 20 over franchise work.

[James and his giant peach]

Blimey we will do well to set them 150 at this rate. Can't believe we had them at 30 odd for 4 and still could end up losing again. 

[James and his giant peach]

Jake Weatherall did well in almost every innings, his replacement scores a 20 ball duck. 

[SMX11]

Another defeat incoming 

[LBTufty]

Shame we weren't allowed to replace the injured Weatherald with another batsman 

[MaidstoneFox]

Very good seam bowling conditions and the Essex bowlers are just dropping on a spot and  moving it around. If we can scrap to around 200 lead and the conditions remain the same then we have a chance.

29/5. Cook's unplayable in these conditions.

He was part off the coaching staff when they played at GR last season.

Least the boys will have a day off tomorrow

41-6, no words 

[DezFox]

One word: disgraceful 

[James and his giant peach]

I'm sorry to lose your top 6 for 41 on any level of cricket is pathetic. Unbelievable that from a strong position all match we now look like losing yet again. Relegation looks a formality already, we look out of our depth. 

[RizLCFC]

Absolute joke this is.

[Walshy5]

Absolute disgrace! Embarrassing a and Pathetic!

41-7 

[Sunbury Fox]

Conditions are perfect for seam bowling and they've got 3 excellent county level seamers who've fully exploited those conditions. The teams we're playing just have more quality than us. I think we'll be lucky to win 1 game. Interesting how much better Glamorgan are doing than us, though. We finished above them last season and also had the better of the draw in Cardiff.
