CC : Essex v Durham

[danthemanSAFC]

10 wickets today is encouraging for our chances tomorrow

 

[brandon]

We need to be careful here

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.

Yea and the way the pitch is playing adds strength to the argument from some, to not facing Harmer on the final day.

37 overs left - bat until 10 overs left and have a crack at them for the last 10?

How often do back-foot no-no-balls get called? Critchley bowled one this over and is constantly pushing the line

 

[Steak Pie]

Skipper holding things together.

37 overs left - bat until 10 overs left and have a crack at them for the last 10?

Assuming we're up around 400 ahead by then, aye.

 

[Tongey]

Couple of loose shots gifting wickets, still 130 overs left in the game, i'd like to see us bat another 15-20 and add another 80+ before considering declaring

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Minimum 33 overs to be bowled today and Durham 350 ahead. I reckon get a 450 lead with 10 overs to bowl at Essex.

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

What’s happened to Borthwicks batting missing out on long hops and full tosses just no fluency whatsoever innings after innings.

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Firmly in driving seat

 

[SuperSub]

So we have a lead of 353 with 32 overs left. Maybe look to bat another 15 over to get a further 80 or so runs, I'll definitely want 10 overs at Essex tonight.

It will be interesting to see how Essex play if they are chasing anything above 400 from 100 overs

 

[Inside Forward]

Hopefully Borthwick can make a big score before we declare.

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Hopefully Borthwick can make a big score before we declare.

Aye, would be perfect couple of days if so.

Unlike you to be negative

 

[brandon]

I'll trust you

We’re more or less where we want to be. Come out after tea and target another 100 in 12-14 overs which would leave atleast an hour at them tonight with a 450 run cushion.

37 overs left - bat until 10 overs left and have a crack at them for the last 10?

Nah, I want atleast an hour.

 

[Tongey]

Nice to see Scott get some runs, he's certainly needed to produce something, hopefully can kick on as well, he's done a good anchoring job so far

 

[brandon]

Ackermann beaten by a ball that doesn’t get up at all.

The lead is 355.

Wouldnt mind a few more like!

I actually think we should start swinging the bat.
