End of the day ,whether we win or not, the title is still in our favour
Did say some posts earlier that the weather could decide the title, but would be good to win it in style and not on the back of the poxy rain, however if it means the flag flying over the ground next year, Ill take it
With a small squad, just wonder if winning the title would bring in that missing piece of the jigsaw, to fight on all fronts, we badly need a Keith Boyce or Keith Pont type of player, we rely too much on Ravi and RTD, when we lose quick wickets imho

Lancs heading for victory so avoiding defeat is key here - yes a win would be nice but not at the risk of losing the match.
Too many of our top order out of form, Chopra, Bopara and Wheater near enough the whole season and we can add Lawrence to this list as well. Cook and Westley to come back but what state Westley's head gonna be in is anyone's guess.
Going to be a tight run in.

I discovered yesterday that there is a live stream linked to the radio commentary so you can watch everything live. I wish I'd known about that on Monday!
Luckily, my CEO is also an Essex cricket lover and, after I told him that, we arranged that he'd chair my disciplinary for watching the cricket instead of working. Job done.
We have an absolutely paper thin squad that has been nearly broken by this season. With all due respect to Walter we have 2 seamers at the club, one is off very soon to be replaced by a guy who gives his all but took his wickets at 40.
I think the only players on our books available but not playing in this game are Zaidi, Callum Taylor, Aaron Beard, Matt Dixon and Sam Cook.
Maybe we should try to produce some proper turning tracks and play Zaidi instead of Walter?
Anyway, I think it would be an amazing achivement if we pull it off. I'd love it if we won, love it etc. etc.

I was just about to post "I doubt it, we are forecasting it to be ****ing down with rain from 12 noon onward's until 7pm".
Then I refreshed the web page as an after thought, & i checked the weather on the bbc yet again. guess what, it looks good all day long!. Seriously, what do the met office do? consult Mystic Meg for the weather predictions?
Anyway, back on topic, I hope we don't bat to achieve another 150 runs (a 358 advantage is way more than enough than we need). I would say around a 275 run advantage would be enough on the final day.
Where is it being streamed 'Bearded'?
I might pop over later today for the last session, if it's going to the wire. :thumbsup:

196/4 - a lead of 191. Minimum of 87 overs left in the day.
I reckon we'll be looking to leave them something in the region of 280 off 70 overs

Personally would let the bowlers go for it now, ten overs could be vital
