CC : Essex v Durham

[smoker]

This is too timid for declaration batting.

 

[Hetty]

Essex could knock these of easy tomorrow

 

[smoker]

That was appalling by Ackerman.

Amazing how a third innings is a dodgy despite a big lead . I still feel that Durham are ahead in this game

Another for the count

 

[SuperSub]

Only 4 runs from the 5 overs since tea. Surprised we haven't shown more aggression as we seem to be going nowhere.

Seen that before with England many a time . Still feel we are well ahead , but it looks like we want to bat until lunch tomorrow

 

[Ghfd]

Well played scotty 50 up.

I wish you would piss making a snarky comment on every post I make it’s all you do on either here or footy board make sinde comments at other members you ever actually say anything about the cricket or football or have anything to actually say your an utter bellend!

Essex bowling well but Durham to timid since tea. No need to slog but gone into survival mode

Really? It kept low

Haven’t got a clue what the tactics are here, seems completely pointless to just keep blocking.

Only one boundary since tea.

TBF its just a storm of Borthwick being out of form and BDL not having played much and feeling his way back in

not sure its a tactic

I do you only post negative stuff strange timing considering he's actually got runs this innings

 

[consettsafc]

For a bit of balance. 11 wickets have fallen today on a wearing pitch with a defensive field set. This is not the blast

 

[Twisted]

I think Marty’s sentiments are right:

“Durham supporters don’t need to be getting nervous just yet.”

I think all that’s really changed is how quickly tonight we can declare, but the pitch does seem to be doing a hell of a lot more this afternoon to what it did yesterday so it’s all good for us with our 325 run lead.

Aye, chatting about it and i said it works in our favour. Getting 500 again means nowt if we can't bowl them out. Id rather the deck gets spicy and we're all out for a lead of 400 if it means we can win

Definitely if they get even 400 to win this game then they deserve it or Durham have bowled poorly. This is a cracking first class cricket wicket.

Feels like De Leede needs to find his feet with the ball again. He's bowled for 3 innings this season and only 17 overs. This is a bit odd when I thought he looked pretty good last season. Only 17 overs!

 

[Inside Forward]

Borthwick gone.

 

[Bri]

Good ball by Harmer, turned a long way.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Raine gone now.
