I've lost track. Has Beard played any first team cricket this season?

He was injured early in the season and hasn't shown much form for the 2nd XI. McGrath said he's been struggling with his line. That said, if he's match fit, I think he should play against Derbyshire ahead of Allison or Snater.
Quote from: paulcm on July 09, 2021, 09:09:46 PMWhy indeed If I remember rightly, his 0-39 off 3,was very similar to his last “performance “.Walter was given just 1 over,which went for 4 runs. Why not play Snater—not particularly economical but at least he’d get a few wickets.In Plom's last 2 games before this one he got 3/31 against Somerset and 2/16 against Glamorgan. Snater and Porter have both been expensive when they've played. Would Beard or Allison have been a better option? It seems Cook is the only seamer to have figured out T20.

He's been unlucky not to play more.
Another PATHETIC batting display (apart from Lawrence again!). Neesham continues to be a huge disappointment, bordering on a complete failure now, and just WHAT does Walter bring to the team to be automatically picked EVERY match?!!Let’s hope the increasingly out of control Covid virus, DOES stop the One Day Cup 50 over competition, to save the club from even more embarrassment.

That line is more PATHETIC than any Essex performance.

Just fed up with witnessing all these dreadfully poor Essex white ball batting performances and dont want to endure any more this season!Oh and before you come back with another "smart" comment, people ARE allowed to be Essex followers even if they aren't members!

I know it probably was meant literally but To be honest the comment just pissed me off a little bit! Now we have actually got some decent weather it really does annoy me that there’s barely any cricket to watch this year and what we do have is unlikely to be of much consequence. I do hope to see some cricket this year but I’ll still believe it when it happens!I know plenty of people who follow Essex and aren’t members so no smart comments here!
