Essex v Durham County Championship 8-11 Sept

[Aidan11]

At least it won't be an innings defeat.

The rain is torrential where I am and it heads towards Chelmsford

Where there’s rain, there’s hope!

 

[SuperSub]

Haway the rain(e)

 

[essex boy]

Where there’s rain, there’s hope!

Thunder & lightening now. Fingers crossed

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

we need this rain on my radar app to hit asap

 

[Steak Pie]

Jeez that was a shocker by Ackermann, this is going downhill pretty fast

Marty on comms rightfully questioning the fight of this team

Thing is with cricket is that it isn't fight, it’s discipline.

Can you hold yourself together when the pressure is on? Can you adapt to situations and extract maximum value?

Didnt see any of that from the top 7 today.

 

[Aidan11]

This is the highest partnership of the innings.

 

[Parkside]

Thunder & lightening now. Fingers crossed

Aren't they supposed to go off when these conditions are in the vicinity?

Lees and Clark excluded, I haven't seen much fight/discipline from the batting for most of the season.

 

[bumble2]

Ditto in Brentwood and it’s heading east towards Chelmsford. Is there eight points in the sky?
Haway the light!

 

[The Red Telephone]

Lightning and off they go.
Raine and Potts showing the determination that has been throughly lacking today.

 

[T S Garp]

Thunder & lightening now. Fingers crossed

Umpires must have heard Marty’s shout

 

[essex boy]

I believe so Parkside. The outfield will likely be too wet for any further play

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Very lucky if they get out of Chelmsford with a draw.

 

[Beau Peep]

What a beautiful sight that is

 

[Bri]

I agree with much of that but could you clarify that final sentence?

As for keeping the faith,you have to possess faith to keep it.

I did my usual thing of mangling a post, it should have been . . . . "All this business of getting loan bowlers in at the last minute are a symptom not the cause (of a severe lack of strength in the bowling department)". Another is using Raine as an opening bowler, he's a natural first change bowler.

 

[consettsafc]

Will they deduct overs after the tea interval?

 

[Parkside]

Will they deduct overs after the tea interval?

Yes, no retrieval of overs on final day.

 

[Bri]

You can’t blame the bowling on yet another shocking batting performance

I think I can. In as much as a poor bowling effort impacts on the batting performance and I think the batting is a lot better than this.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Will they deduct overs after the tea interval?

yes as it's the last day
