The same squad. I heard Rossington got hit when keeping in last night's game, so that could lead to a change. It would be good to see Khushi get back in if he's fit. Possibly at the expense of a seamer?
Kent have been awful in all forms this season so Essex really should win this (famous last words).
[Edited to add Buttleman and Rymell since I missed that. Thanks JasonP).
Harmer, Allison, Buttleman, Cook, Critchley, Das, Khushi, Lawrence, Nijjar, Pepper, Rossington, Rymell, Sams, Snater, Walter, Westley

There was a tweet about 4 hours ago saying that both Rymell and Buttleman are added to tonights squad. So it looks like Rossington wont play. With Rymell added aswell there's possibly other issues as they already have Westley and Khushi in the squad. Khushi may not be 100% and I didn't see Westley last night during warm ups.

Thanks I did go through all the feeds and missed that. They must be worried about Pepper being fit enough to keep I guess, or just including Buttleman for cover.
-
Kent won the toss and will bat.
No Rossington or Allison. Khushi and Buttleman come in.
Khushi, Lawrence, Pepper, Das, Walter, Critchley, Sams, Buttleman, Harmer, Snater, Cook
I guess Pepper isn't fit to keep wicket.

All hail Sammy Cook!

My boy.

Sams ? A poor man’s Steketee. Get rid.

Lawrence is a brainless clown

drop him

No change today. No leadership. Crazy batting. We need 150 not 250. As someone has already mentioned, we win these games with Sir Alastair in the side. Not sure Khushi was out. The other 3 dismissals were pathetic
-
The best thing for Lawrence would be for England to cut him loose. It feels like every time he bats he is trying way too hard to prove himself as a master blaster, as if he wants to show that county cricket is too low a level for him. Needs to clear his head of international ambitions, and re-focus on the basics.

Spot on. Especially as he is nowhere near good enough to play for England. If he is next in line England have problems

I said this on another thread recently -

Amazing that Critchley is making runs at a good pace batting properly. Please can management tell the top order that they can play sensibly if they want when chasing a small total

ahhhh but that's not Bazzball.
-
37 runs needed off 36 balls. Routine.
-
This is deja vu suicide cricket mirroring the Somerset debacle,
Sams has hit a six, no pressure, need a run a ball, the next ball a great yahoo and clean bowled. That is a two ball snapshot of Sams. .
Critchley batting well and while he is there we should win, but don’t bank on it.
Yet another needless roller coaster.
-
well batted Mr Critchley
-
Well done Matt Critchley. Really high-class innings to win a match we looked to have blown. Good to see Buttleman showing some mettle at the end too.
-
Phew. Never in doubt.
Another great bowling performance. Sam Cook just gets better. Disappointing from Lawrence, Das and Khushi, but Walter, Critchley, Sams and Buttleman kept their heads. That'll do their confidence some good.
-
A wins a win .
Nothing anywhere to say you have to win all games by bazball, just need to win anyway.
-
Great knock by Critch, at last, a batsman with a brain! Good support from Buttleman at the end, too.
As for how Sams got himself out, I think it was the most brainless shot by an Essex batsman so far this year. And there have been plenty to choose from.
-
Sams should be made to sit down by himself in a darkened room and then view ten times the shot he played and was clean bowled. I would then carry out a lobotomy to determine if he actually does have a brain.

We got him from the bargain bucket so what can we expect?!
-
I'll miss Paul Newton and Dick Davies when they pack it in, never afraid to mask their anger at terrible batting.
Also we could do a lot worse than employ Simon Doull as a batting coach, who gave the impression on Sky that he would make a better coach than anyone we currently have employed.

How did you listen to both commentaries?

Had Sky on the TV all game, but got the radio commentary up on the laptop around halfway through the Essex innings. More than enough time to enjoy Newton and Davies at their angriest best.

Plus giving him the last over when he had already bowled three poor ones already. Absolutely clueless. Critchley was the obvious choice.

not against Grant Stewart. You should be able to trust your overseas bowler to land the ball.

Disagree with that, see Harmer vs Hants. Sams was the right choice, he just executed terribly.
