I don't know - Brookes, OHD and Jeets should give Essex problems. They reckon spin will be key on the wicket prepared, so Jeets should shine. I like the faith shown in the young players this season after numerous injury problems.
We’ve quietly gone about things this morning, despite losing 3 early wickets. Notts are 90-5 against Kent so they’re struggling. If we can manage maximum bowling points and not lose then our game against Notts next week should prove to be meaningless. I think Notts have to win all three of their remaining matches including the current one and rely on other results going their way to avoid the drop. As it stands we should be ok.For all of the bad luck with injuries we’ve made steady progress in red ball cricket this year with some of the younger players coming through looking like real prospects.
