where i s the Essex cricket thread this year

My mistake. It is 14 in Division 1.

Tap tap tap*

"The BBC has division one of the county championship as only 14 matches, where are you getting 18 matches from?"

"F cսnt, your link is to stats after 13 matches. There are 18 matches in Division 1 in the season."

Thanks for that Westshit

"Far cսnt my stats are from ESPN, updated today."

"I don't get those stats, they say Cook has no centuries and then give him a high score of 128"

"Anyway the stats I'm looking at has him at no tons and one 50 what stats you looking at? County Championship Division One 2023, FIRSTCLASS, Most Runs https://www.cricketworld.com/cricket/series/county-championship-division-one-2023/stats/batting-most-runs/127576"

"Here he is, WHO's resident prick."

"Yes, time for Cook to go. Only 10th highest run scorer in Division 1 this season, with only one century and six fifties."

"He should retire, he's not getting 50s he's not even getting out of 20s it's time to say a massive thanks and goodbye Sir Alistair Cook."

Surrey got lucky with the fixtures. Only had to play Essex once. When they scraped a draw.

Stories a couple of weeks back that Sir A Cook was going to retire at the end of the season but not confirmed. Nice that Alec Stewart is having some success in his later career after playing in 8 Ashes series for 8 defeats.

It was lost last week when Essex tried to force a result in the rain affected game v Hampshire and fell short.

"Had a bit of trouble finding this thread. Anyway, headlines from today: SURREY win title; Essex fall to big loss"

"Not sure if Rossington's contract is up at the end of the season or if signing Cox has been done to replace the departing Lawrence. Good signing but a little disappointed Pepper or Buttleman haven't been given the chance as the County Championship keeper. As well as Pepper there is Feroze Khushi trying establish himself in the top order when the opportunity arises and a group of good young batsmen on the fring of the first XI including Buttleman, Josh Rymell and Robin Das."

Big ROSSO Michael PEPPER Will BUTTLEMAN Jordan COX We could put out four keepers.

"signed Jordan COX. Excellent news. Gutted, Kent?"

Won by 6 wkts

"5 wins on the bounce, really great stuff. Shame that Chelsea look like winning as well - that draw against them when the rain saved them might make the difference."

Wes gone as well...might as well send in fatty Rossington to try and get a quick 30

Chef gone already Hampshire had a lot to say for themselves about the pitch they lost on at Chelmsford last year. Dare say they'll be a little quieter this time. Cunts.

Hampshire seen off. Last four wickets gone in 4.1 overs - all out 131 10 for by Jamie Porter. Essex require 83 to win - what could possibly go wrong ? Retires behind the couch.
