Essex Pro40

[glyn]

Great start to Pro40 - 255/6 v Essex with Dippy, Nixon and Boyce hitting 50s. Allenby on good run of form with quick 46 as well.

Interesting to see Taylor picked in front of Du Toit -right decision for me. Means we have 7 English-qualified players playing!

I've been listening to the commentary and Leicestershire started and ended their innings well, but the scoring rate dipped to around four an over in the middle overs, despite the batsmen being in and having lots of wickets in hand.


Essex have just lost their first wicket, 45-1 after 8.1 overs.

That feels like a loss, I can't believe we didn't win it.

 

[fox58]

not a great start to tonights game Warwicks 98-1 of 12 overs

 

[glyn]

Terrible bowling. The team look a mess.

 

[glyn]

the poorest fielding performance I have seen from a Leics side.

Good effort lads. The important thing is that you tried your best
