Re: England Cricket Summer 2019 ODI World Cup and Ashes
Hopefully the Essex boys won't be too hungover today. Forecast still looks wet, likely only to get in an hours play at best before the rain sets in.
Have a bowl to avoid the risk of the early clatter of wickets as I expect Somerset will have prepared a minefield to try and get a result in whatever time is available.

Re: England Cricket Summer 2019 ODI World Cup and Ashes
Somerset have to take 20 wickets to win the championship, the negative way would be to put them in to delay batting and hope the weather intervenes or alternatively and positively bat first before the pitch wears and spins like all Taunton pitches do and take enough time out of the game by scoring 400+
Either way can't see Somerset winning this

What a day Saturday was, crazy crazy day, still suffering this morning, then beating Man U, have to love sports when it gives you weekends like this
Leach is in for Somerset I believe, could be a momentous week for Essex!

Never bank on the weather forecast. Best to get in first and bat as long as you can. Taunton will resemble Kandy come day 4 if it stays dry, best to have them batting on it.

Gamble they had to take with the draw being in our favour and the likelihood of losing the best part of 2 days play. Will soon be off for the rest of today looking at the radar
