  • Essex Eagles Vs Sussex Sharks Royal London One-Day Cup the Cloudfm County Ground, Chelmsford Tuesday 30Th April 2019
    Essex Eagles vs Sussex Sharks Royal London One-Day Cup The Cloudfm County Ground, Chelmsford Tuesday 30th April 2019 Will Beer brilliantly shattered his best score for Sussex Sharks to hand his side a nervy one wicket win over Essex Eagles in Royal London One-Day Cup at Chelmsford. Leg-spinner Beer arrived at the crease on 94 for six before he produced a superb 75 in a three-figure stand with Laurie Evans. The pair's 121-run partnership was Sussex's highest for the seventh wicket in one-day cricket, beating Ian Gould and Garth le Roux's 33-year-old record. Recalled to the side after missing out on Sussex's win at Lord's on Saturday, Beer's previous best was an unbeaten 45 against Durham in 2014 as he helped the Sharks on their way to an incredible win. The gutsy victory was secured when No.10 and No.11s Danny Briggs and Mir Hamza scored the required seven off the last over with a ball to spare to send Sussex to their fourth victory in five outings. On his 28th birthday, Briggs finished unbeaten on 37 from 26 balls, also a career-best in the format. Earlier, Essex had won the toss and elected to bat on the same pitch on which they beat Hampshire on two days previous. Sir Alastair Cook and Varun Chopra, who returned from a quad injury, put on Essex’s best opening stand in the competition so far as they reached 73 without loss. Chopra was given a life on 15 when he was dropped at first slip by Phil Salt but failed to scored a third successive format century when he was lbw to a booming George Garton in-swinger.

  • 344 – March 2015 (2)
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 344 – MARCH 2015 (2) MEETINGS Wednesday 25 March 2015 – Meeting The Society is very pleased to welcome the Reverend Canon TIM BILES to this evening’s meeting. His talk will be on Sir Donald Bradman, for whom he once worked. Our speaker is a published author on theological matters and has also written a book on his subject this evening. Tim Biles is the fifth member of the clergy to address the Society. His predecessors were the Reverend Mike Vockins (November 1983 and April 2011), Reverend Andrew Wingfield-Digby (September 1990), Reverend Malcolm Limmer (January 2005) and Reverend Alan Haydock (March 2009). Wednesday 4 March 2015 – Report After the Society’s AGM (see below), members spent a riveting evening in the company of Ronald Allison. He recounted his early cricket memories. He was born in Weymouth, where his father was a schoolmaster at the town’s Grammar School. His father was an umpire in village cricket; our speaker told of an incident where the bowler removed his cap and sweater and handed it to his father ….. and then his glass eye! Allison Sr, fainted after which his mother, who had been alerted, interrupted making the sandwiches for tea and ran to the wicket still holding the breadknife. Almost inevitably, with the glass eye in the same pocket as the marbles, a seven ball over ensued. Ronald Allison first became a Hampshire member in 1946. His father became a friend of Desmond Eagar. Later, he (Ronald) and Desmond’s son, Patrick, became friends.

  • Essex Eagles V. Sussex Sharks Vitality Blast, South Group the Cloudfm County Ground, Chelmsford. Wednesday 4Th July 2018. Michae
    Essex Eagles v. Sussex Sharks Vitality Blast, South Group The Cloudfm County Ground, Chelmsford. Wednesday 4th July 2018. Michael Burgess and Laurie Evans smashed 81 in a six-and-a-half-over stand for the fourth wicket to set Sussex with a 36-run win in the Vitality Blast opener at Chelmsford. Burgess, having his first T20 knock for Sussex, finished with five sixes in a 23-ball 56, while Evans's 61 took 45 balls. The Sharks’ 181 for six, after electing to bat, looked slightly under-par, but David Wiese ripped the heart out of the Eagles batting with five for 24, including three wickets in five balls in his fourth over. Varun Chopra led the chase with 64 from 48 balls, including three sixes, but his exit sparked a late collapse with the last five wickets falling for two runs in eight balls as Essex finished 36 runs short. Luke Wright counts Chelmsford as one of his lucky grounds – having hit 153 not out four years ago – but lasted just two balls this time, cutting the first backward of square for four before being beaten for pace by Jamie Porter. The seamer had a second when Phil Salt pulled him to the midwicket boundary where Matt Coles took a great catch above his head. Essex’s overseas signing, Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa, was down on one knee imploring for lbw against Tom Bruce with his second delivery but nailed the New Zealander two balls later when his next appeal was successful. The Sharks were 36 for three, but Burgess joined Evans and the pair had advanced the score by fifty inside four overs.
