Essex CCC 2017

[Blueronron]

Funny stat on 319 runs only 6 extras !!!

 

[AndyT]

It's definitely on ..

The next on the list for any wicket ..

339 (5th wicket)
345 (3rd wicket)

These commentators are pretty ropey, btw!

 

[AndyT]

339 gone.

341/0

 

[mattitouk]

350/0 And the 4th batting point for Essex :happy:


Now 356/0, 44 runs required from the next 10 overs for the last batting point. Would be great if the pair can both get double tons and beat Essex's other record of 403.

 

[mattitouk]

Cook gone for 193 :stunned:

 

[AndyT]

373 for the 1st wicket.

27 to get, then I fancy we might stick them back in. Maybe 450, ideally.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Chef misses out on his first double hundred for Essex, still amazing innings and partnership!

 

[Shrimper]

Get Browne his double ton then declare

 

[BrettieAngell]

Need to get the last bonus point

 

[AndyT]

Chef misses out on his first double hundred for Essex, still amazing innings and partnership!

When they said that on commentary, I thought that's not right. I remember Cooky getting a double ton against Australia at Chelmsford during the famous 2005 series.

... and here it is, though it's not classed as First Class, as it was only a one innings match, so that might be the reason :-

[Blueronron]

Yorkshire will bat for maximum points tomorrow and try to limit the damage caused by the weather

 

[AndyT]

We're still going to be playing at 10:00pm at this rate.

 

[mattitouk]

400 up :happy:

I hope we continue to bat until Browne gets he's 200



:thumbsup:And he did!!

 

[AndyT]

Think we'll bail out in about 3 overs time.

Have a nice 20 at them tonight.

 

[Blueronron]

Double centurion Browne fantastic

 

[mattitouk]

Chopra now gets his half centuary :happy:


Think its about time to declare soon, anymore than a 250 lead may well be a waste of bowling time.

 

[Blueronron]

Surely must get 500 and then give Porter and Amir a turn with Harmer waiting in the wings

 

[BrettieAngell]

Browne out, declare!

 

[Blueronron]

Just wondering we have hit 400 runs plus in a day with overs left still. Just wondering if Yorkshire will come to a deal with Surrey and both declaring giving Yorkshire one day to get 490 runs ?
Any thoughts on this?

 

[Shrimper]

Declare you fools!
