With an average score of 175 though.

No need for that shot from Buttler

Didn't realise that was the average score lol.

Still I reckon 160 is a defendable total

cooky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

som 118-5 masters gets MORKEL caught by cook!

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:14 am

great use of all his vast experience.....

by JDizzle Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:20 am

Morkel looked poor out there, hope he bowls better than he batted. Hopefully if we can get up to 160 we can defend that as our spin attack of Waller and Dockrell is far, far superior to Phillips. Although Shah and Foster play spin well,but it's our only hope if we don't get up to 180. Crying or Very sad

come on essex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:23 am

Can't believe the negativity Somerset guys!!!

Believe in your bowlers, anything can happen in cricket and who knows how Essex will react to the pressure of chasing!

by JDizzle Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:25 am

Haha, reverse psychology Olly! Well batted James Hildreth, he's been in cracking T20 form this year!

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:28 am

Where was the need for that 2! only really Trego left so and your taking on Foster being the keeper!

by JDizzle Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:29 am

I wouldn't have minded so much if it was Gregory running to the danger end, but Hildreth had to bat through!

by Guest Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:29 am

hildreth's gone Yahoo

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:30 am

Somerset players have got themselves starts but then chuck it away (not so much for Hildreth).

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:31 am

Time to go big boys, any deflection is likely to be a single anyway as Essex wont be fussed but need a few boundaries!

by JDizzle Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:39 am

So 175. 176 to win. Exactly par. Early wickets are an absolute must and then strangle with the spin in the middle overs. That's the ideal scenario.

by jimbohammers Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:42 am

Anyone else who cant stand Michael Atherton on commentary?

by JDizzle Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:55 am

Surprised we haven't opened with spin, especially with Cook batting who likes pace on the ball. Maybe doesn't quite trust the young spinners yet enough with that.

by JDizzle Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:56 am

Yes! First wicket. Pettini gone, caught by Dockrell off Thomas. Not getting carried away, he is probably the weakest of this Essex batting line up.

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:57 am

Yes Somerset! good start.

Dockrell looking good in the field so far.

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:58 am

Hopefully these 2 still think its a test match Laugh

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:58 am

by JDizzle Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:59 am

Ravi got a duck. He definitely still thinks it's a Test match! Only need one guy to get in though...

by ChrisfromStroud Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:02 am

Som, Glo, Yor, Not

True I don't think my heart rate will go down till we see the back of Ten Doschate

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:06 am

COME ON!!

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:10 am

dockrell and waller to come yet

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:21 am

Why are there no side cameras?

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:22 am

RUN OUT!

however I would have said benefit should have gone to batsman as you couldn't see the whole of the bat.

by jimbohammers Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:23 am

Foster + Cook vital now

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:26 am

Would say Essex would be better off with Cook getting out

Never said they wern't good enough Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:39 am

6 down. Foster gone, looking very bleak for Essex now ain't it CF Whistle

by GSC Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:44 am

Somerset always choke at the last hurdle anyway

by hodge Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:45 am

I was tempted to put a bet on us at the start of the season to lose the final tbh

censored

by jimbohammers Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:55 am

Essex are woeful haha

YES!!!

And I have a ticket for finals day too!!!

by JDizzle Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:30 am

I went out to have a net! I couldn't stand the pressure, haha. Sounds like a cracking performance from out bowlers though!

Sussex looking rampant though. Good knock from Prior, but this from Styris is just amazing.

by chrisss Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:34 am

"only" a 37 ball hundred from Styris... Very Happy

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:35 am

It only gets better hey CF. Bet Essex wish they still had Styris Laugh

by JDizzle Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:40 am

38 off one over. Shocked

What an innings! Cannot believe I saw that live.

230-4 and what can I say about Scotty!!!

by packofwolves Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:46 am

Fantastic hitting from Styris. 37 ball ton. It's not really necessary to elaborate any further is it?

by ChrisfromStroud Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:56 am

Sussex 230-4.
Nothing to worry about for Gloucs... Batty says it's a good wicket.

by packofwolves Wed Jul 25, 2012 7:07 am

Where is Will Gidman for Glos? Is he injured? I saw him live for the first time earlier this summer at Worcester and he really impressed me.

by ChrisfromStroud Wed Jul 25, 2012 7:09 am

Gidders (Minor) is injured.

by Corporalhumblebucket Wed Jul 25, 2012 7:20 am

Fuller 3 overs for 57 runs Shocked

Evening Corporal - I believe that with the help of no balls one over went for 38! Guess Gloucs can afford that with Batty putting his foot on the gas. Very Happy

by Corporalhumblebucket Wed Jul 25, 2012 7:31 am

Evening Guildford - surprised at the pessimism from the Somerset supporters earlier on!
