Not at all. It is an idiom, if my memory serves me correctly. Or maybe it's a metaphor.andrew_nixon said:

Gee Andrew, after XX years of watching cricket (XX being a double-digit number) you not having heard that on the telly flabbergasts me. I just lost a green light of reputation for you.andrew_nixon said:I think you'll find screw-up is the technical term.

I have never heard essay used to describe innings. It doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense.sohummisra said:

Perhaps it's favoured by just the Indian media?

I'll be happy if the Indian U-19s take control early in the next match. Their bowlers don't seem as threatening in the latter stages.

Well, that's your problem, init? And it does make sense, because a good innings in a test match should have a solid base--opening partnership (introduction), large contributions in the middle order (paragraphs) and a strong finish with the tail wagging (conclusion). So it does make sense and it has been used.andrew_nixon said:

Dunno if anyones keeping up with this, but India are up against it. After his 114 in England's innings, Rashid has 5-117 off his 32 overs so far. Lordy this guy is promising.

Well he took another 2 today, that gives him 162 runs with the bat including a century, and 10 wickets in the match. Thats pretty incredible.
