CC : Durham v Essex

[Sillypoint]

I fear in the end the BBC beancounters will notice this...

Absolutely i cant imagine the BBC website numbers are that huge when you can just put youtube on and see it

 

[YES WE GYAN]

Interesting listening to their plan for Coggers this year

Really good interview with Campbell that.

Interesting him talking up the possibility of Stokes being an opening bowler for us.

 

[TrickyDisco]

Oh dear. Need another partnership here.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Harmer stepping up a gear now.
229/5

 

[englishman abroad]

What's a good total on this pitch?

 

[Ottery]

Harmer had been looking harmless, now he's doing real harm

 

[essex boy]

What's a good total on this pitch?

Factor in a Dukes ball on an April wicket, anything around 350 should keep you in the game. With Essex, get a few key wickets there is not much batting depth

 

[Ottery]

Harmer had been looking harmless, now he's doing real harm

Crafty line he's bowling round the wicket

 

[The Red Telephone]

Bonus point.

 

[essex boy]

Crafty line he's bowling round the wicket

Quite defensive, more drying runs up to induce a mistake

 

[Bri]

261/5 at tea - not great, not bad and all to play for.

 

[Tongey]

Think they've just shaded both sessions so far. But we're still in a good position to hopefully post 400+ and maybe have a few overs tonight?

 

[Old Timer]

We still have the batsman leading county averages to come in yet.

 

[Bri]

Carse gone. On first sight I thought he was unlucky but on replay it was a bit more adjacent than I thought.

 

[essex boy]

Have any other county got their no.8, 9, 10 & 11 batters averaging 25,23,20 & 18

Not sure at any level club cricket included a no.11 would average 18

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

We still ideally need to get to 400

 

[essex boy]

We still ideally need to get to 400

New ball due in 9 overs

 

[Inside Forward]

Ha’way Ackers lad.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Well done Ackers lad !

 

[englishman abroad]

300 up & a ton for Ackermann
