479-9 Gidman 94* in danger of running out of partners before his ton!
Lead 299
Gidman is rubbish
If I was running Notts I'd let him go at the end of the season
Totally agree. Not good enough to bat in the top 6 for us, has only scored 232 in his three Championship innings and hasn't even got an average. Sooner he goes back the better.
yeah i forgot to mention that worcs' bowlers have been mostly shit this season and would be eaten alive by cook and westley. essex should reach 500 around close of play tomorrow. toodles!

Don Kenyon, Basil D' Oliveira, Brian Brain, John Inchmore, Steve Rhodes, Graham Hick your boys are taking one hell of a beating!
More's the pity.
No Norman Gifford Len?
No Tom Graveney, Jack Flavell or Len Coldwell either. Just listed the first few that came into my head.
Jack Flavell. indeed. I remember seeing him at The Oval with my father. As he ran into to bowl to Ken Barrington, my father was telling me how Barrington was very hard to get out. Ken's middle stump flew out the ground as my father finished his sentence.
How come only the top team goes up from CC2 and 2 teams come down?
Yet another step towards killing off red ball cricket. With 8 in Division 1 next year and 10 in Division 2, there will only be 14 fixtures per team next season. In Division 1, they will play each other twice, in Division 2, they will play some teams once and some twice.
It's to make way for more T20 cricket. The rumours are that April will be 50 over stuff, May, June and September will be County Championship and July and August will be T20. If it's a wet early summer like this year, the County Championship will be decided on about 6 games.

Claydon managed to survive 26 balls too
274 behind.
Westley 238no at the moment
More's the pity.
Essex declared at 601-5, Westley was eventually run out for 254, otherwise he probably would have got a triple century!
Brown b Stevens 19
And he STILL hasn't got a contract!

It's what the public want though.
