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.

Surrey hit bullseye against Essex

During the innings break on Monday night, darts stars Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis were invited onto the outfield to take part in a demonstration.

In the end, though, the pinpoint throwing arms and the clinical finishing belonged to Surrey, who looked in the very best of order throughout.

It was a curious match, punctuated by arrows and tainted by tragedy: that of a pigeon whose fatal mistake was to find itself in the way of a crushing blow from Tom Maynard. Even with the bat, Surrey kept hitting the bullseye, and duly claimed their second win of the competition in five games.

For a county so nakedly geared towards the format, Essex were disappointing. They bowled well, restricting Surrey to a score they would have felt comfortable chasing, but batted poorly and ran abysmally. Surrey, meanwhile, demonstrated the value of sharp out-cricket.

The game turned on two run-outs that deprived Essex of two of their biggest hitters at just the stage when they were setting themselves. Jade Dernbach’s sharp throw at short fine-leg accounted for Scott Styris, while Ryan ten Doeschate was brilliantly run out by Zander de Bruyn, who collected the ball off his own bowling and hurled it off-balance in a manner that recalled his compatriot Colin Bland.

The third run out of the innings merely added a glug of farce to a casserole of ineptitude: As Tim Southee and Adam Wheater deliberated over whether to take a single through to Steve Davies, the Surrey keeper underarmed the ball into the stumps to run Southee out.

It epitomised a bizarre effort from Essex, who had found themselves in the curious position of five for one after one ball. After slinging down five wides, Yasir Arafat found Owais Shah’s outside edge, the ball flying down to third man to dismiss him for a golden duck.

Ravi Bopara looked in atrocious form and was trapped lbw on the crease, while the tail folded like an Ordnance Survey map. Only Wheater and James Foster, toiling gamely in a lost cause, offered any kind of resistance. He was perhaps a touch unfortunate to be out caught in the deep of what appeared to be a navel-high full-toss, but by then the game was already slipping from Essex’s grasp.

Maynard was the best of the batsmen, scoring 45 as Surrey recovered from a bad start. Graham Napier removed both openers, but Maynard and Jason Roy rebuilt the innings.

But it was geography student Zafar Ansari, 19, down from Cambridge, who took the match award. As well as bowling four overs of steady left-arm darts, he lifted Surrey with a butch cameo of 30 from 18 balls. It included a remarkable six off the last ball of the innings, which saw him stepping across his stumps and hewing the ball over square-leg into the crowd.
