ralphindevon Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 I reckon it was a good toss to win, Harmer is going to make hay in our second innings, if not first. Probably not one of the remaining games we expected to win so not vital, just bloody annoying that we can’t get the better of them……again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, after Glamorgan bowlers leaked nearly 600 runs against Leicestershire and still won by an innings, I won’t be throwing the towel in for a long time yet.

bearded_red Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 To be fair they’ve done a good job of never allowing them to increase the run rate today, but I’ve got to be honest, without wanting to be too pessimistic, I’d be stunned if we avoided the follow on.

ralphindevon Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 I’m always nervous at Chelmsford that a bit of the pitch will all of a sudden break up and deteriorate and Harmer will take 17 wickets. Well batted so far though and I’d certainly take 14/15 points for a draw. To be fair to Harmer, he spoke out in favour of county cricket, criticising the plans to reduce games and counties. So he’s not all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he’s quite happy with the old ones, in fact he’d like to keep them exactly as they are with no work done on them for the next few years………of course with no chance of any punishment from the ECB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, yeah good job I’m not an official scorer. change that to 13/14 points. It’ll almost certainly be one of those if we draw, anything less than that would be very difficult to avoid defeat.

To make things potentially worse, Graham Bartlett has just been given out, although for what remains to be seen: he was going for a (probably unneccessary, in the circumstances) reverse sweep, he didn't touch the ball with his bat (it came off his pad) and it didn't seem LBW to me. Oh, and the successful bowler, leading the appeals, was your favourite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Bugger, he did this last year if my memory is correct. At least if we can get through this game undefeated he wouldn’t have been playing for us until September anyway. Hopefully not as bad as last years which kept him out for quite a while I seem to remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
