Glamorgan (H)

[dazedpenguin]

Glamorgan won the toss and put Essex in to bat.

Unchanged team:

Rossington, Das, Pepper, Lawrence, Walter, Westley, Sams, Harmer, Beard, Allison, Cook

If my maths are correct, there's chance of a home semi-final if Essex win and Somerset lose to Surrey.

254/5! The Essex batting record in T20 so you can't ask for more than that. Great hitting from Rossington, Walter and Lawrence. They ought to be able to defend this, surely?

A bit boring though eh?

Not that I'm complaining, but with Glamorgan 8/2 it is lacking a bit of jeopardy.

Should be great for the net run rate though.

That is the 8th consecutive T20 Toss that we have lost now, but what the hell - doesn’t seem to matter much any more !!

Closing in on Nasser's record of 10, although I think that's in tests. Must be an Essex thing. I wonder how Keith Fletcher fared.

It was great to see such a comprehensive win. I said before the start that this could be a decent side, I admit that I'm surprised that's turned out to be true. The quarter final is still going to be tough, but it's all so much better than last year.

I think Nasser's record was 14 ... I used to have the article on my classroom wall when I taught probability.

 Slog fest Essex batted them out the game . A brutal win by the Eagles. Also the most perfect performance a side could muster .
 Das still making his way in the side, but playing a expansive game looks foreign to him or was he struggling to get the pace of the pitch first off.
 Dan did not field, did he get a twinge on the hammy ?
