Durham v Essex

[banqo]

Essex all out 182, Durham 40-5. Need to win this one.

[cymruO]

Wicket last ball of the day 58-6. This is some match and no sign of Harmer yet.

Isn’t there a dedicated cricket thread for this dull cr*p?

A cricket team who has never won bugger all, but like coming second.

16 wickets in a day! Does that require an investigation?

[cymruO]

It does - Essex batsmen, what on earth are you playing at? And umpires - what were you thinking of with some of the most dubious lbw decisions?

[banqo]

Durham 99 all out.

[banqo]

Second innings not going according to plan, 15-3!!!

[Top of the JES]

The standard of batting and umpiring in this game is dire, That said the pitch ha# definitely got a bit in it but remember Essex got to 179-5 yesterday so possible to bat on if players apply themselves,

132-5 now Doeschate and Wheater have counter punched nicely but not without the odd scare.

212 - 6
Lead of 295.
Really should win this now.

[banqo]

Hope so, could do with Warwickshire and Notts drawing.

[cymruO]

53 - 5 and now almost 350 runs in the lead - you can never rule Essex out! Just when it looks really bleak a couple of batsmen / bowlers turn the game around. Still batting and all the time in the world to bowl Durham out.

[i8ubutler]

Durham 169 - 6

Target 385

[banqo]

Essex win by 195 runs. Much needed.

Cricket just doesn't seem the same with 3 seperate group's ☹☹
