Essex 2017 (archived)

Would I be correct in saying that so far Kent have gained only 1 point in this match, and assuming they now go on to lose, that is all they'll get?

Amazingly (so far) only 2 Kent batsmen have scored more than 3 in the 2nd innings, making extras the third highest scorer.

I make it 4points

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I make it 4points

Yes, 4 points so far, K**t now 136/7.

Assuming K**t lose, then by my maths, we need 6 points from 2 games to guarantee the title.

Thanks for that.

If your maths is right we should get that in bowling bonus points unless a game or two is rained off, when we'd get that for the draw.

We'd then just need to ensure that we have a decent playing surface, not like Somerset, and that we pick a spinner so we don't get points deducted for slow over-rate.

 

[Blueronron]

155.-8 nearly there


So 4 runs in the lead

 

[undercovershrimper]

Kent into the lead now

 

[Chocolardo]

Chopra in on loan for remaining two games! Really impressed with all the contract renewals and so on so far

 

[undercovershrimper]

Coles b Keogh 7 Kent 169/9 lead by 15

 

[undercovershrimper]

Stephens last man out for 44 Kent 184 all out. Northants need 31 to win

 

[Uncle Leo]

All out. 31 required for us to have one hand and four fingers on that divisional title.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Chopra in on loan for remaining two games! Really impressed with all the contract renewals and so on so far

Agreed.

Excellent move to get him in now, let him readjust and get to know everyone new. Getting to bat with Browne and use to his calling will let them both hit the ground running next year.

Will be interesting to see where Wheater fits in for the rest of the season though.

K*nt all out. Northants need just 31.

 

[Blueronron]

whats odds on a Kent win :raspberry:

Was just thinking who does Wheater come in for? We wont drop Westley, Bopara or Tendo so do you bring him in for Dan Lawrence personally i would say that would be very harsh. Maybe has to sit the next one out and then get a game against Kent once the title is sealed?

 

[undercovershrimper]

Northants chase is underway 0/0 from 0.1 come on the northants

I'd be pretty annoyed if it was Dan Lawrence who made way.

I also wonder if it means that RtD or Bops is going to the IPL next year.

 

[undercovershrimper]

I hope they dont go to the IPL next year its been massive for us to have both of them all season long, lets not make the same mistakes we have in the past!

 

[londonblue]

22-0. They need 8 more to win, and do us an amazing favour.

 

[undercovershrimper]

Just 5 more needed

 

[undercovershrimper]

Its all over Northants win by 10 wickets in just 4.3 overs top effort!
