Bit of a brouhaha regarding the Chelmsford pitch. Four day match expected to be finished by tea on Day 2!

It's not often your team requirers just 98 runs to win and yet you find yourself saying "no chance"

Essex 59/8

Has to be a points deduction for a woefully poor pitch.

Pretty crap by Essex considering we had Lancashire on something like 7 for 6 in their second innings. They must have had some epic tail-order batting to claw out 73!

Saw some of the wickets and not many looked related to a poor pitch. Some shocking shot selection.

Liverpool, 1962
Tommy Greenhough, Lancashire former England test bowler, out for 5 on the way to a defeat to Essex. A day to forget for him?
By the summer of 1966 his dismissal read
Caught by the only man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final(G. Hurst) Bowled by the only man to take 19 wickets in an ashes test or 1st class match for that matter(J. Laker).
Bet he dined out on that for years.
