vs Essex

[Jimmy Lad]

24-5! Ouch!

Unless is a miracle we have lost this one already. Our usual saviour, Ackerman gone for 0. We won't come out of this game with many, if any, points at all!

I knew that Masters would come back to haunt us. Shouldn't have messed him around with such a crap contract offer in the first place!

Miracle delivered by Malik and Du Preez??!

From what I recall Masters wasn't keen to leave but did so for family reasons to move back South. Don't know if that's the whole truth, but sounds plausible.

The commentators said Kruger was the best bowler but he didn't get any luck.

Unfortunately not the whole truth... these were the reasons given to avoid any hassle.

220 lead, with 7 wickets in remaining. Contributions from all the top order, Ackerman 90* but New fell for just 28 - he's had a bad run since the first match.

445 lead. We have messed up in countless positions like this over the past 2 years. Let's see if we have learnt how to clinch matches, rain permitting
