Essex Cricket 2021

[Zeuss]

Innings and 15 run victory

If we could have been assured of good weather throughout,we could have delayed our declaration and then won by an innings and about 515 runs.
Not having 2 divisions and having to face such poor opposition is ridiculous.

Warwickshire decide to bat first and finish Day 1 on 159 for 7 (D.Sibley 43, Siddle 4-36)

 

[cerbera45]

Essex finish Day 2 on 16 for 1 after bowling out Warwickshire for 166 (T.Bresnan 50, Siddle 6-38)

Slightly off topic but Kent’s Darren Stevens aged a mere 45 years old hit 190 with 15 sixes batting at 7, 170 partnership his no 9 partner scored 1 to it lol
Then he grabs a wicket, never too old to shine

Wasn’t that day 3 today

No believe it or not that was just day two.

My first visit and would highly recommend. Lovely ground and people are very friendly.

Who'd ever have thought you could get sun burnt in the North East

Wasn’t that day 3 today

Durham currently 1 wicket down as Day 3 underway

 

[cerbera45]

Essex have now taken 18 Durham wickets, none of which have fallen to Simon Harmer.

 

[tottenham541]

Great result today

 

[The Dirty One]

19 lbw's which apparently is a record in English First Class cricket.

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Big game next Notts at home

 

[cerbera45]

Notts win the toss and elect to bat on a sweltering day at Chelmsford. At the close of Day 1 they were 248/6 (Clarke 57no, Siddle 3/76).

 

[cerbera45]

Essex wobbling at 15 for 3

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

it will be a miracle if we win this from here, makes it very tough to go through
