CC :: Essex v Durham

[brandon]

Need to pick up the last two cheaply.

It’s not happening. Flat as fuck, but will turn square for Harmer and Lawrence. Essex 30 runs away from being favourites.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Negative you lot mind. Will be fine, pick these up shortly and chase 2-3 down at most

 

[brandon]

Lunch, Essex lead by 114 with two wickets remaining.

SAFC fans, what fo you expect

 

[brandon]

Rushworth must be injured. No idea why else we’d persist with Carse who is absolutely haemorrhaging runs.

This is shit. Number 9 and 10 at the crease and we’re making them look like openers. We’re just going through the motions in the field here.

Pitch is doing nowt and we have a one dimensional bowling attack. I'd be using Borthwick a lot more here.

That’s f*cking plumb. Cheating c*nt.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Seems to be a continuation of 2020's truncated season - we cant seem to dismiss teams twice to win a match.

 

[brandon]

We’re going to lose this. Absolutely shit day. Sunderland and Durham both losing. Fuck off.
-
We’ve let an absolute f*cking ferret score 50.

 

[Monument View]

What a horrible sporting day .
Sunderland get beat with the GK chucking the ball into his own net
and Durham conspire to let a winning position slip away

 

[brandon]

When Sam Cook gets another 12 runs, which he will, we’ll have let the last three batsmen rack up their highest FC scores.

 

[smoker]

We are toothless when the ball isn't seaming. Borthwick at one end and an off spinner at the other (Thomson?) would be more effective. Can none of our bowlers generate any reverse swing?

 

[brandon]

We’ve lost this. Body language from the players is f*cking awful. 50 partnership for the 9th wicket to go with the 50 partnership for the 8th. They’re 154 ahead, they’ll win by 40 atleast.

 

[Dorlonco]

This is agonising. But to be fair we have done well to get into this position. We were never going to have it all our own way against a side as good as Essex and some stiff resistance was only to be expected.

 

[brandon]

Eckersley bowling, maybe they think Essex might declare?

Aye but from 8,9 and 10 man

Killing time before the break. And we haven't got a proper offspinner

 

[brandon]

Wank wank wank.

Funeral break, have you ever heard anything so f*cking ridiculous?

 

[Dorlonco]

Wank wank wank.

Funeral break, have you ever heard anything so f*cking ridiculous?

No. Completely ridiculous and no call for it.

Not sure why they didn’t at least move the longer lunch break for it like they do for the day nighters and minimise the time lost. I’d be going mad if this result had time as a factor tbh

 

[The Rat]

gonna get beat here can feel it.
