Bet Somerset will get a pitch inspector 20 wickets on first day !!!

 

[Shrimper]

Now a good batting pitch with Somerset chasing 167. Typical

 

[tottenham541]

136-5, need wickets.

 

[Shrimper]

Batters let us down. Should have got more in our 2nd innings

 

[ESG]

35 wickets in less than two days....wtf.....pitch inspector job.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

that pitch was a shocker, couldn't even see it for the outfield on day 1

[Bearded Shrimper]

it's my mate's fault. he went yesterday, arrived after lunch. didn't see a wicket. there's been plenty today

The Essex bowling attack doing what the Essex bowling attack does. Warwickshire 88/9 now. Let’s just hope the batting picks back up for the 2nd innings.

 

[Knights In White Satin]

Warwickshire all out for 94, Essex need 330 to win

 

[tottenham541]

224-4, need another 106 to win tomorow, still possible.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

would be one hell of a come back if we do it

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

224-4, need another 106 to win tomorow, still possible.

More than possible. Essex now the strong favourite. With William Hills, Essex now 1/3 to win, with Warwickshire 9/4.

Obviously hoping that we can pull off an unlikely win today (thanks Warwickshire for not enforcing the follow-on,) I don't however like the term favourites, let alone 'strong favourites.' We all know that cricket is a funny game and an early wicket this morning could well bring about a few more in quick succession. It's an old cliché but the first hour will be critical, especially how we withstand the new ball, which will soon be available. A win would not only be important in terms of points but a huge boost to the morale as we head towards the summer break for the Championship.

You may not like the term but it is true! But I do understand what you mean, it is in a delicate position if a wicket falls early. One wicket brings in Pepper, two into the bowlers. The Essex tail hasn't wagged much this season.

Would be a phenomenal win if they complete victory today, but simultaneously a disappointment from this position if they fail to do so.
