Glamorgan (H)

[dazedpenguin]

16 strong squad for the Glamorgan game and still no place for Khushi (who was with the seconds today).

Harmer, Allison B, Allison C, Beard, Benkenstein, Cox, Critchley, Das, Elgar, Pepper, Richards, Rossington, Sams, Snater, Thain, Walter

What is the point of naming 16 players in a squad for a home 20 over match with 6 days afterwards to recover?

Got to be a disciplinary issue with FK.

Got to be a disciplinary issue with FK.

Either that or he's decided he wont be playing here next season and so the club are preferering other players.

[essexfan548]

He got a two ball duck with the 2nds today

[dazedpenguin]

It's also possible that the whole bat issue has affected him and that the club have decided it's best not to play him in the first team for now.

Such a shame that a club cannot keep its supporters updated. Khushi scores a brilliant hundred and then we don?t see him again and we hear ?.. absolutely nothing. Whatever way you look at it, it is treating us with complete contempt.

On match preview it says
Sam Cook remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Tom Westley and Feroze Khushi remain in plans for the tournament after featuring for the Second XI at the Utlita Bowl earlier today.

He did play in the Warwickshire match so he has appeared after the 100 but it's all very odd.  If they want Elgar in the side he was likely to miss out but for Charlie Allison, Thain and Das to all be in the squad when he isn't is strange.

Crisp infers disciplinary issue

[Crisp]

Not sure if I intimated disciplinary, I stated contractual.
To be fair you couldn't pick him on present form anyway.

[kingstonj1]

Sorry i thought you said attitude. thus assumed discipline issue.

So hes leaving then hence why not being picked?

[CostaDelEssex]

we will need to score 200+ again this evening looking at the Glamorgan batting line-up....and our cannon fodder attacj

[dazedpenguin]

Essex won the toss and will bowl first. Snater in for Ben Allison.

Rossington, Elgar, Pepper, Cox, Walter, Critchley, Sams, Harmer, Benkenstein, Snater, Beard

[dazedpenguin]

Oooof. 106/7 from 90/1 while needing 6 an over. Don't throw this away lads.

You'd have thought Walter would have learned how to play spinners by now. But no.
