Lanterne Rouge Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 365 ahead, players off for bad light. Overnight declaration? Fair play to Warks as well, they`ve done their part and not just rolled over. Edit: umpires having a look at Taunton but covers still on.

I think we’ll bat close up to lunch tomorrow and get the lead past 400. It is improbable that they would win from here but we still need to put the game completely out of sight. Thankfully the best Essex can hope for is a draw! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves 5 sessions and a 400+ run cushion to bowl them out. Weather looks fair so should have the full day on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Always think bringing in overseas players for 1 or 2 games at the end of the season is a risk, especially if they've not been at the club before. You wonder how match fit and motivated some of them are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Hmm, looking mixed for us. Sussex 7 down- which is good and gives us a realistic chance of getting those 3 bowling bonus points- we are 113 behind at the close though. We've pulled off some fantastic late wins recently though, or from unlikely positions so it isn't over yet.

I guess it’s a bit of a catch 22 though. If they don’t get an overseas and Tres came in and flopped, fans would be claiming the board haven’t given their all to win the title. There’s definitely pros and cons to it all. Today was a huge day with regards to the title race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Half a dozen mire days if everything going our way like today and It could be ours. Not all our way though, those lost 13 overs could have allowed us to declare and put Yorkshire in to bat in what has so far been wicket tumbling time, the morning session.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) We've got our 3 bowling bonus points. Sussex made 370 though, a deficit of 170- a draw will be okay given other scores elsewhere. Don't see us winning given the size of deficit etc. Edited September 12, 2019 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Warks stop them getting batting points If Warks can pick up one or 2 I don't think they'll pass 300 (or if they do only just) before 110 overs.

Hate to say can't see that happening Also have a horrible feeling Essex may be back top by the time we meet What a game to finish the season though !
