Mr Popodopolous Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Looking pretty mixed for us. We are noe 176/6 which is 6 ahead- not good. Middlesex v Durham- would rather Middlesex had won it as they're that bit further back but Durham won. Middlesex now realistically out of it. In good news, Worcestershire beat Glamorgan- we're still 2nd but Northants could well overtake us- it's ridiculously tight though, even so late into the season!! 1 Lancs 11 6 0 5 0 28 32 181 2 Gloucs 11 4 2 5 0 33 30 152 3 Durham 12 5 4 3 0 19 33 147 4 Northants 11 3 2 6 0 30 30 138 5 Glamorgan 12 3 3 6 0 30 29 136 6 Sussex 11 3 4 4 0 25 29 122 7 Middlesex 12 3 4 5 0 19 28 120 8 Worcestershire 12 3 6 3 0 19 32 114 9 Derbyshire 11 3 5 3 0 19 30 112 10 Leicestershire 11 1 4 6 0 19 24 89 Edited September 12, 2019 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Looking like it's going to be a 7 point lead, Essex likely to get a 3rd batting point but no more as there's only 9 overs left. I'd have taken that before this round of matches. Maintain that lead into the Essex game, make the wicket a road, pray for rain and open the champagne Edited September 12, 2019 by ralphindevon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 So we`ll have COve back for the Hampshire game and presumably Jason Roy (with a point to prove) will be back at Surrey for their game at Essex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 3 hours ago, TomF said: Any chance of Essex win probably went with those late wickets and losing time to bad light. Optimistic to think Warks can take 14 wickets tomorrow but if they strike early who knows Spot on. Mind you, I suppose there could be a couple of declarations to set up a last day run chase. Unikely, but certainly not impossible. (Warks are just about mathematically safe so guess there's no real motivation for them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Warks are just about mathematically safe so guess there's no real motivation for them). Warwickshire won't be setting up any result, they stay up if they draw this game. They will no doubt enforce the follow on should they get Essex out in time, otherwise this will disappear into a non event Interesting comments from Surrey coach Michael Di Venuto: "That was embarrassing. I've watched a lot of cricket and played a lot of cricket and the last two days what we've dished up there is some of the worst cricket I've ever seen." "We've got a lot of people that just aren't in good form. There's one stand-out in Ollie Pope who again showed his form, but not many positives."

Essex still need 60odd runs to avoid the follow-on, with just the two wickets remaining. If they hold on for a draw, they will be 8 points behind. Here's hoping Jeetan Patel canproduce some magic to get the win for Warwickshire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Essex lose today, they would be 13 points behind - 11 points for Somerset would only put them 24 points, or one win, ahead. Two wins for Essex, including against Somerset, would surely put them ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I don't want to build up hopes, but I am currently watching the Warwickshire live stream - switching between the Test. I can assure you that, should Essex fail to avoid the follow-on - they are currently 47 runs away with one wicket left as Westley has just been bowled - they will struggle in their second innings as Jeetan is really getting some serious turn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
