Essex v England

[Rip Van Fish]

Probably worked out just nice for England actually.

Canny lead, near enough a full days batting tomorrow & all day 4 to bowl them out.

I think u were watching it live when you posted that.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Essex players saying that Onions was the pick of the England seamers. He's a very unlucky cricketer with the established pace quartet all ahead of him at the moment. I definitely wouldn't rule out him of playing in at least one of the home Ashes Tests, though.

Was unlucky with those 2 drops like

Yes, although technically it was always a friendly.

Just wrap up and get off home, pointless game.

Farcical. What are they doing to our game?

Has England ever played a warm up game in our own country like this before?

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Clarke cheated there like

What's going on?

Looks like Onions clinched his place for the Ashes, much better than Finn and Bresnan

 

[Mainze]

Clarke cheated there like

That Ali catch?

 

[Mr Redknapp]

That Ali catch?

yes

 

[Steak Pie]

Bollocks. Has Onions bowled himself into the team?

Swann took 5 wickets and Onions got 4 and 1 didn't bat. But he's not as fast as Finn or as good a batsman as Bresnan so he'll carry drinks all if there's an injury doubt over any of the seamers.

Go the nearly man again, can't even claim 1st class wickets
