CC :: Essex v Durham


Don't want to be a total Cassandra but batting conditions looked a lot easier this morning. This Essex side have the ability to bat big and we will need to be on top form with the ball.

Still 163 lead is way more than anyone expected, credit to the tailenders.
Not convinced that’s the case. Old ball didn’t do too much for them, but the new ball moved a fair bit. Don’t get their obsession with spin, but safe to say we won’t make that mistake. Think the new ball is critical though, get a few out and were in the driving seat for certain.

In fairness their leading wicket taker was spin and that was the first innings. We might need all that lead having to bat last. Just hope we can whip them out quickly again

He also bowled nearly 3 times as many overs as anyone else mind, and wasn’t particularly threatening in the main.

Cooks wicket is massive mind, great catch by all reports
 
Lawrence looks in good nick here....

Aye, need to get the bugger out.

Can they not sort out this f***ing stream? Its either constantly buffering, the camera is wonky or the audio is five seconds ahead of the video.
