Essex

Is this going to become Neil's new favourite thread?

[Mumsafan]

No he'll be locked in the World Cup one til September when we'll let him out for the rugger World Cup.

My team went from Hero to Zero last season and now are languishing in the 2nd Division - Notts -
Looks like our Captain will be a few weeks before he's back as well.

Anyone else follow it?


I know it's overlapping with the World Cup and the like so I don't know how much interest there is.

I was at the 20 20 final last year and was cheering your boys on in the final (once Essex were dumped out). Should have won but the umpire missed that no ball on the last delivery :whatever:

Going to Trent Bridge this year for games against Windies and India. I stay with my mates family and his mum makes us up a delicious hamper of 'cobs' and crisps and fruit and cake and chocolate and all sorts of wondrous treats to take to the game

"Leicestershire wank wank wank Leicestershire wank wank wank"

My favourite song of the cup final


The Leicester fans (well the ones I saw) were a bunch of cocks

I wish Norfolk had a team.....I would go to loads of games, alas, the nearest ground is Essex which is a good couple of hours away. I used to go to Essex games when I was a nipper (I grew up in that **** hole of a county) but I have not been to a proper county game for ****ing years

[Shaggy]

I don't go to cricket very often...only been a half a dozen or so times in my life, but I'm off to OT for the Test against the Windies this summer.

Derbyshire have signed that 6'8" Irish paceman, Boyd Rankin.

LCCC all the way.

"The Brothers" Clive & David Lloyd beating & bullying all before them in one dayers.

However, County Cricket is just a comfort zone, and way too cushy, there needs to be a bite of somesort brought into it to liven it up and make the game meaningful.

[Colemere]

Surrey CCC

I like to keep an eye on the Sussex scores to see how Matt Prior does, he should be Englands number 1 'keeper. He has youth to learn the game, he has done it at this level for a couple of years and should surely get his chance in the next 18 months.

He has the highest average than any other contenders.

England games are great.
