Saj playing a 20-20 game! They must be 'avin a larf.

No, he's not playing.  He's the 'heavy roller'?

The only way he'll get near to the playing strip!

I'm imagining a beautifully rolled strip of pitch several metres wide of the wicket...

3 wins from the last 8 should see us take a top 4 spot, although a top 2 spot will guarantee home tie against 3rd or 4th in North Group

Well Larry has said the team have forgotten all about being gubbed by Hants.

& more games means more crap beer sold.

Essex expects ...

I suppose I should get on message.

The club must love fans like you & Quincy.

In what sense do you mean fans must love fans like me?

In all fairness i have had quite a few moans about the club on here , T20 prices, car parking, rip off food prices etc.

You do seem to be pretty unquestioning about the onfield product.

Everything else crap about the club (admittedly a very long list) is secondary.

Up to the Hampshire thrashing which was obviously poor we hadn't done too badly so far this season with only 1 defeat in the CC, i realise a lot of draws but a few we were stopped winning by the weather. In the T20 we have been on fire and played some entertaining cricket which it what it is all about

It's the same old story though.

As soon as we face the one or two good sides in this division we fold like a pack of cards.

20/20 is the same when we get to the business end of the competition.

Both points - very true and cant argue there.

My original point being that yes it was a dismal effort against Hampshire and hopefully behind the scenes will sort it out but we all need to move on and hopefully a win tonite then we have a week before another Champ game. Hopefully it will improve.

Anyway just look how bad England were yesterday!

Up to the Hampshire thrashing which was obviously poor we hadn't done too badly so far this season with only 1 defeat in the CC,

Which was mainly acquired with the assistance of our best player, R Ains. The sole victory was attained against one of the weakest sides in the championship this season, Derbys and then only because of a rare, freak innings from Cook who is unavailable for any further games. I'd dread to think what your definition of doing 'badly' would be.

On a hypothetical note, I wonder what the attitude of div. 1 football followers would be if their club decided to not bother with attempting to attain promotion to the Premier League and concentrated instead on a novel Micky Mouse, five a side, ten mins. each half competition designed solely for the benefit of a TV station run by a tyrant who gave this septic isle the 'Sun.'

Surely you didn't expect the Engerland football team to qualify from a group that included Italy and Uruguay, did you???

Yes but unless you keep repeating the same points incessantly VP sees you as a supporter of everything that the club does.  There is no colour in his world; it is all black and white.

You must be some kind of visionary extraordinaire if you can see any other hue than black in Valentino's world, Trickle.
