Essex CCC 2018

[Blueronron]

Looks like Root will play, I'm going Sunday so hopefully will get to day three

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Great start for Sam Cook. It's taken him 7 balls to grab both openers.:clap::clap:

Superb stuff.

5 down! Bairstow out! Cook is on fire! I always enjoy seeing England batsmen get out to Essex bowlers in domestic!

 

[Ricky Otto]

Haha I work with a guy who plays for Chelmsford and I said "Blimey Cook is on fire today", he replied "yeah that means he won't be playing for us much this season" moodily, I think it was a joke?

45 for 8 now. Balance actually won the toss and elected to bat:hilarious:

The way he finished last season it was always unlikely he'd be playing much club cricket for the next decade. Still, must be a huge blow for Chelmsford's hopes this season to lose a bowler of his calibre. If he's doing this to international batsmen, imagine the carnage he'd be causing at club level.

45-9:thumbsup:

Exactly, they have Beard at Chelmsford too so they might get some games from him.

50 all out, if you'd said this morning that we'd bowl a team out and Porter and Harmer would only have one wicket between them I'd have laughed

Essex have done a remarkable job of producing bowlers. Can any other county boast that both opening bowlers are home grown, under the age and bowling average of 25?

Not only that, you've got to remember that this is despite losing Reece Topley (who's still only 24) to Hants' chequebook.

Sadly Sam Cook's namesake has done no better than Root.

The pitch inspector is on his way:stunned:

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Westley out as well now 5-2

You might want to change that to Saturday!

 

[AndyT]

Well, we're in the lead.

58-4

 

[Blueronron]

When is the last time a team has batted their second innings still on day one ?

 

[AndyT]

It happened the other day. Aiden Markram, opening the batting for Durham, got a pair on the opening day.

83-6 now.

One thing. This could be all over today at this rate! .. There's still 46 overs left today.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Siddle out, 121-8 now

 

[AndyT]

Yorkshire, bowled out for 50, ended the 1st Day on top! :omg:

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Yorkshire 329 all out after being 276-3. We need 238 to win.
