ralphindevon Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Oh dear Essex, hope they throw the book at you, extra points deducted for dobbing us in and then repeatedly doing the same, probably worse, thing.

PHILINFRANCE Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Happy Days. Essex all out for 59 - lost by 39. What an absolute disgrace, though. Edited September 21, 2022 by PHILINFRANCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game does have a feel of both teams happy with a draw so far with Sonerset going at under 3 an over. I'm sure thinfs will liven up with a few quick wickets though I am not so sure. Northants two down already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 I think the first innings was a good decision by Somerset, make it a hard position for them to beat us, only one of their two innings being a low score then gives us a chance of a win and as we’re seeing here it’s already a strong possibility, 2 1/2 days to play as long as we’re not like 50 all out second time round this is a draw or a win now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, it's madness any of them not playing regular cricket in the height of summer. To be fair in Craig's case he has been injured, though I don't think he would have played much if any more if he'd been fit. Maybe last weeks game but not much more.

I guess he can go again after tea. Yeah he didn't open the bowling and looks like they're easing him in but has shown no signs of being anything but fully fit so far. They're scoring at a decent rate but if we can get amongst the wickets in this final session we'll be very well placed for tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 England have generally been much better at releasing players this summer, though I do think the likes of Leach, Crawley, Lees etc should be playing this week. I notice Pope and Foakes are both allowed to play for Surrey this week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 From the BBC text updates: Pitch 'nothing out of the ordinary' - Snater Lancashire beat Essex by 38 runs If you weren't with us earlier on, you missed an incredible finish at Chelmsford as Essex were bowled out for 59 - with George Balderson taking a hat-trick and 5-19 to inspire a Lancashire win. Despite 40 wickets falling in less than five sessions, Essex fast bowler Shane Snater insisted the pitch was "alright". He said: "Obviously it was doing a bit but nothing out of the ordinary. With the early start and under the lights, the ball is going to do a lot more than it normally does." Lancashire skipper Dane Vilas described Balderson's bowling as "incredible" and also praised George Bell was an "exceptional" performance with the bat, adding: "And I thought his keeping, particularly standing up at the wicket, was outstanding.” 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand them covering the trophy hand over. I guess we’ll have a better idea after tomorrow’s play but you’ll probably be right and they’ll go to the Oval whatever.

ralphindevon Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 First 40 minutes and all of a sudden our bowling attack is looking a bit fragile. Gregory still not bowling, feeling his injury. Overton only bowling short spells. Josh Davey not at full fitness after bad hamstring. Kasey Aldridge going round the park Tom Abell coming back from hamstring injury No chance will we force the follow on even if we did bowl them out in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately needed Jack to hold an end in this game Jack Leach is doing a stint on commentary today, so it’ll be interesting to hear why he isn’t playing. Did anyone hear Jack Brooks on comms yesterday? I was sat by him for a bit and he was saying he had a back spasm which is why he isn’t playing instead of Aldridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
