Anyone else get the impression that the Blowers has been several sheets to the wind since the first lunchtime?
Looking at the pictures of him on twitter doesn't convince me otherwise (plus you'd have to be pissed to dress like that!)

What are they going to do? Sack him for it? It adds to the entertainment.

Of course i'd be happy to support the Trevor Chappell of Cricket, or Essex as they are known, declaring when you are 8 down to deny a possible bowling point to a team 36 points below you.
Shame. Shame. Shame.

That's one possible interpretation- and one the pro-Surrey BBC are pedalling.
We'd just secured a batting point. We declared, Lancs forfeited their second innings this we were into the last hour (or would have been after the two nominal innings breaks) and everyone could go home.
As Billy Bragg once sang:
When you wake up to the fact
That your paper is Surrey
Just remember, there are two sides to every story

That was certainly my interpretation, Chrisity, but it's hardly going to make much difference.

And, after Henry Blofeld's final word of commentary, TMS continues, ball by ball.

I imagine quite a few had a glass. At one point Vaughan said to Tuffers 'you're lookung a bit tired'.
What Essex get up too hardly matters to Gloucs 😆.
Looked a big standard captains agreement so they could all go to the pub.

Lancashire need a win in Taunton, otherwise we're there.
