Essex CCC 2019

[tottenham541]

Seriously wtf

 

[Blueronron]

We take a lead into second innings 193-8

 

[tia]

Very handy partnership from Harmer and Siddle building a lead

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

How come Porter was batting above Siddle?
If it was motivation it worked.

Could do with a few quick wickets here.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Got to be happy with reducing Notts to 164/7 after losing the toss and being asked to field.

Hopefully we can quickly wrap up the tail.

187.

Will take that.

Well played Essex.

Now to bat til close without losing a wicket.

I think I should post on this thread more often.

Blimey didn’t half need that. You only judge a pitch once both teams have had a bat but very disappointed they didn’t get a sizeable lead.
Not sure what the issue is so far this season but would be nice if they woke up soon. Perhaps Silverwood leaving has had more of a impact than I thought.
Still say that line up is a winning one but there’s a couple who need to start producing. Being called up for England has destroyed Westley.

How good is Simon Harmer?
He’s ripping them apart. Bowlers doing their bit.

 

[tottenham541]

Get in Harmer, needed that good spell

Not too shabby for a saffer is he

 

[Blueronron]

S.A.M -Chris Silverwood has a massive impact on the team when he left for the wrong reasons, whereas when Grayson left the gloom lifted
Hoping we don’t collapse and lose would be a killer for spirits, similar to Yorkshire match last season which was early in season

You’d back us from here wouldn’t you, surely?

You would think so, but the pitch must a worry to bat second if chasing 150

Yeah I agree, I was thinking no more than 120 but tbh, no one is blaming the pitch and tomorrow is a day three pitch. Really shouldn’t be a issue chasing 200 plus.

We should win just hope Notts don't have a late order partnership like us.Yesterday a member was saying Dan Lawrence was saying one of worst pitches he had batted on.

Well that answers that then.
Essex should know better being they've been badly stung re dodgy pitches in the past.
Umpires report every pitch.

 

[Blueronron]

Harmer takes 5 now, lets skittle them out
Lead 62 three wickets to go

Update Harmer has 6

Now 99 lead one wicket to go

 

[tia]

105 runs to win come on Essex

 

[Blueronron]

105 runs to win come on Essex

6.1 not best start

Cook still there

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Essex win by 8 wickets.

Great result against a strong side who spent heavily during the off-season.

Yes a win and a draw from Notts and Surrey is good
