We have the opposition by the balls in the first innings but fail to finish them off. Then only a couple turn up to bat in our first innings and the same can be said in the second.
On a side note, our nephew got the Essex 2nd XI player of the year award last night. Also scored his first runs (5) in first class cricket but lost his wicket for the first time as well.
He was suitably merry last night at Jesse Ryder's leaving do.

Good for him ! Please pass on our congrats & ask if he fancies moving to The Garden of England next season !
Think thats a good signing. Still only 28, and yes he hasnt had a great time of it at Middlesex, but if he can start reproducing some of the form we know he is capable of then will score plenty of runs.
Seen quite a lot of Joe Denly over the last few seasons. Nice timer of the ball but rarely offered solidity in Middlesex's middle order. Shame because he fitted in well at the club and was decent in the field. He's probably more suited to 2nd Division Championship cricket and he should average around the 40 mark next season. He is still a very useful one day batsman and is capable in that format of taking on most domestic attacks. His innings v Somerset at The Oval (Middlesex played a "home" game there) in T20 this year was superb. Good luck to Joe for the future.
shame about the bowling mind, we wont get anywhere with just claydon as our only real pace bowler.
But signing Denly at least gives us the option to bring in an overseas strike bowler as we did with Bollinger last season. Also, if Griffiths can stay fit that will be a bonus as he is probably the fastest bowler we currently have on the books.

No point me avoiding this thread now ......
The season has almost faded with scarce a whimper.
203 all out.
Lost by 244 runs.
That's it for the season then.
