Surrey hit bullseye against Essex

During the break rounds Monday evening, darts stars Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis were invited on the off-field to take part in a demonstration.

In the end, however, the pinpoint throwing weapons and clinical finishing belonged to Surrey, who looked at the best of the order on the whole.

It was a curious game, punctuated by arrows and tainted by tragedy: of a pigeon with a fatal error would be on the path of a crushing blow Tom Maynard. Even with the bat, kept Surrey hit the bullseye and duly claimed their second victory of the competition in five games.

For a County so simply focusing on the format, Essex have been disappointing. They have overthrown property, restricting Surrey to a score they would have felt comfortable, hunting, but considers evil and ran miserably. Surrey, shown at the same time, the value of sharp out-cricket.

The game was based on two run-outs private Essex two of their biggest batting stage only when they are in themselves. Sharp of Jade Dernbach throw at short fine-leg represented Scott Styris, while Ryan ten Doeschate has brilliantly run out by Zander de Bruyn, who collected the ball off the coast of his own bowling and threw off-balance in a manner reminiscent of compatriot Colin Bland it.

The third race of the channel simply added a glug of farce to a pot of nonsense: as Tim Southee and Adam Wheater deliberated on the opportunity to take a single by Steve Davies, guardian of Surrey underarmed the ball in the stumps to run out Southee.

It embodied a bizarre effort of Essex, who found themselves in the curious position of five for one after a ball. After slinging down five wides, Yasser Arafat found the outside edge of the Owais Shah, ball flight to the third man to dismiss him for a golden duck.

Ravi Bopara watched atrocious form and was trapped LBW on the fold, while the tail folded as an Ordnance Survey map. Only weather and James Foster, struggling valiantly in a lost cause, offered any type of resistance. It was perhaps a touch unhappy to be caught out in the depths of what appeared to be a navel-high full toss, but at this time, the game was already understanding of Essex.

Maynard was the best of the batsmen, scoring 45 as Surrey recovered from a bad start. Graham Napier removed the two openers, but Maynard and Jason Roy 1600th sleeves.

But he was a student of geography Zafar Ansari, 19, down from Cambridge, which won the match award. And bowling four overs of steady left-arm darts, he lifted Surrey with a cameo butch of 30 years of 18 balls. It included a remarkable six off the coast of the last ball of the channel, which has seen through its stem and cut the ball over square-leg in the crowd.
