ESSEX'S performances in One Day cricket have been a hugedisappointment admits head coach Paul Grayson.
Back-to-back defeats in the Clydesdale Bank 40 competitionagainst Glamorgan and then leaders Somerset - by six wickets - atSouthend on Sunday, have put any hopes of a semifinal spot injeopardy. The Eagles currently lie third two points behind MarcusTrescothick's side in Group C but, crucially, Essex have played twogames more.
Only the top side from each group will qualify along with thebest performing second-placed side. Failing So that, coupled withfailing to reach the quarter-finals of the Friends Life t20competition, has left Grayson deeply frustrated.
"I've been very disappointed with our One Day cricket overallthis season," he said. "We have put in a couple of good performancesin t20 and the CB 40 but two of our wins in that came against theUnicorns, so its been a really frustrating season from that point ofview.
"It simply hasn't been good enough but there's still a chance wecould qualify but we know we have got to win out last threematches."
