Essex Cricket 2021

[tottenham541]

Essex with the highest innings of the match but only lead by 119 runs (with 2 wickets remaining)

I’d take all out for 160 lead, give us something to bowl at.

Funnily enough we’ve set 168 to win. Not bad going considering where we were.

 

[tottenham541]

What a start 0-2

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

20-3 now

Scott Borthwick still at the crease

 

[Ricky Otto]

This is going to be tight I think. Great fightback but will it be enough? I'm hoping for some harmer magic on a 4 day old pitch

Maybe not 4 wickets for 8 runs. Come on Essex!!

 

[cerbera45]

Matthew Salisbury would be a big wicket for Essex (scored 41 in the 1st innings)

 

[Cricko]

Well done Essex.

 

[Ricky Otto]

Not yet I don't think, I've seen this essex side looking deader than this and turn it around

What did I say, don't write this side off ???

And how right you were Ricky ?

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Must be one of our best signings ever Harmer !!

 

[tottenham541]

OMG just seen the result

 

[Shrimper]

Simon ****ing Harmer

Keep impressing me this bunch, don't know when they are beaten. What a contrast following essex has been compared to Southend the past few years

 

[cerbera45]

Essex's 8th and 9th wicket stands gave the bowler's something to defend

 

[Ricky Otto]

Well back to team that actually brings me joy. Won the toss and we bat. Come on Essex, the football in this county might be **** but at least we have the cricket

 

[ESG]

Rolled over cheaply after opening stand of 55 of which Chef got 45 off 46 balls.

Peter Siddle has slipped into the country done his isolation and rocked up for this one

 

[cerbera45]

Yet again a 9th wicket partnership frustrates Essex bowlers.

Yet again a 9th wicket partnership frustrates Essex bowlers.

If only we had a hostile ,really fast bowler to clear out tailenders.A better choice than Siddle from overseas would have been the world number 3 ranked bowler.....Neil Wagner.
