Notts q/f

[bwildered]

Best wishes boys for Notts q/f .
Will Ravi return from illness to captain the side ?

[nat]

Best wishes and good luck to the team tomorrow. Cannot make it to the game but will be watching on the TV.

Looks like we are back to full strength.  Both teams have a very poor recent history in Quarter Finals but someone has to win.  Can't help feeling that we have been treated pretty unfairly having to play the day after a tough 4 day game while our opponents have had the whole week off to prepare.  We'll see tonight how the likes of Masters and Napier are able to cope with it.

Nice but not surprising!!! to see that all the "injuries" from a few days ago have cleared up!! Have a good feeling about tonight, think we can spring a surprise as we are for once, the big underdogs.
Edit: Bit worried though seeing Walter in the team again!!

Chasing 162 after a good bowling/fielding performance. C'mon boys.

It's all going horribly wrong

[essexspur]

How pathetic has this been. Giving the second and third over to Walter was ridiculous; Zaidi's second ball was absurd; Lawrence before Napier just made you think we had simply given up. We would have walked that match with Fletcher as captain. Truly appalling

Batting imploded. Browne, Westley and Bopara ... again.

Ravi doesn't look right. Something definitely wrong. Domestic issues again?

[CostaDelEssex]

Absolutely clueless...

Walter bowling a third over was bad enough...

Lawrence on one leg batting above Napier....please enlighten  me???

Yep village cricket. Silverwood needs to take responsibility for this shambles.

Ryder's dismissal was really unlucky and who knows what might have happened if he had stayed in.  Notts showed the value of a decent spin attack in T20.  Until we get one we are likely to be perennial also rans.

Hope Lawrence will be ok for the proper cricket.

Obsession with batting second, mentally week when the pressure is applied and batting order strange at best. Once we had the start we just needed to milk the spinners and we just crumbled. I am afraid it is a recurring theme. Captaincy is NOT for Ravi he must concentrate on his batting no one in their right mind would have bowled Walter again when they had two spinners still to bowl, Chopra must become captain as soon as he walks into the club so we can get the carefree Ravi back.

[efcjames]

We have one, but was only allowed to bowl one over even when pace was getting smashed everywhere.

I do hope Ravi is going to give up the captaincy, it was beyond dreadful tonight

He missed the CC because he was ill.  Perhaps he's still not in the best of health.

Perhaps. Then again if it were something else I wouldn't expect to be told the truth.
