Essex Cricket 2021

[Shrimper]

Draw looking likely

 

[cerbera45]

Ed Barnard follows up his 3/67 with the ball by adding an unbeaten 116

 

[The Dirty One]

I really can't remember a Chelmsford wicket as flat as this one

Yep and I don't think we were alone! You usually get loads of small scores in April but across the CC there were big scores

 

[Shrimper]

Wrong choice batting first

 

[tottenham541]

15-3

 

[Ricky Otto]

45-5, painful. I considered Durham to be one of our easier games. I'd never write us off after the last couple of season though

 

[Shrimper]

Pathetic performance

 

[tottenham541]

74-7 I think we can bowl em out tonight

 

[Ricky Otto]

Never make assumptions until you see both sides bat

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

96 all out, reckon we could be batting by close tonight again ??

Think we can write this one off

 

[cerbera45]

one Test man Scott Borthwick with a hundred

 

[tottenham541]

143-7 good effort

 

[Ricky Otto]

Think we can write this one off

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

 

[Grayson]

Pathetic performance

11 home wins in a row before last week's draw. First sign of getting beat and get labelled pathetic.

Sounds like Borthwick played some innings today. Spin doing damage for Essex on day 1 suggests getting 300 2nd innings could be sufficient even if it's an 80-100 run deficit. Easier said than done though.

Previous results mean jack **** now. Are you seriously saying that was an okay performance?

It was awful.

Durham 75 ahead at the moment

I am happy to let a team that has won everything in recent years have one bad innings with the bat, yes.

 

[Shrimper]

We're really going to miss Lawrence whilst he is with England

 

[cerbera45]

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