Two players off injured, were they really fit?

Tait really struggling, can't believe the no ball.

Going to be chasing 170+

What an absolute shambles. There didn't seem to be any direction whatsoever. We got behind the over rate and then our bowlers were running back to their marks - not a great way to prepare for the next ball. The pitch needed slower bowlers or pace off the ball. Tait was awful. They have a chance to redeem themselves, but that is a seriously tough chase.

What a shambles so far

Poor out fielding
Dropped catches
21 extras
Injuries
Fosters worst performance ever behind the stumps?
Tait 3 overs for 37

Foster seems to have gone completely. I have seen him drop more catches and let  more byes in all competitions in the last eight weeks than the rest of his career put together. Is he injured or is his mind completely elsewhere?

Wow, how bad was that.

Somebody has got to do something electric with the bat now.

I wonder if Foster will play again in the championship. Imtiaz was opening the batting for the seconds at Halstead yesterday

Although this match was effectively over from the minute that Ravi Yorked himself, why on earth did Browne come in ahead of Foster?

Because Essex are poorly managed/coached. I don't agree with a lot of others Cook must play, you play your best players. Football teams don't leave their international players out when they come back from playing for their countries! Essex's fielding is (not for the first time) well below the standard it needs to be and that has to be coaching again.

I am afraid we have to realise that until changes are made at the top we are going to stay at this level and that level is not good, as I write this Foster is showing that the batting order was a big error! Oh well there is always 2016!

How many mistakes is it possible to make in one game? Essex handed that game to Birmingham on a plate. If it was a football match you would simply believe the team are not playing for the manager. Grayson has to go simply for presiding over a complete shambles. No balls, wides, dropped catches, poor field placings, no understanding of the pitch, poor shot selection, wrong batting order. Total embarrassment against a Birmingham side who aren't that great

What a pathetic, embarrassing and shambolic effort from a team who bottle it EVERY time they reach a pressure one off game. UTTER RUBBISH.

Saving him for the last over?
