Essex v Lancs

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 10:49 am

Lancs won toss and are batting, both these sides can in theory still win the title, but in reality it's between Hampshire and Surrey.

George Bell comes in as wicket keeper, the rest as you'd expect for Lancs.

Hmm! not going too well for Lancs thus far 58-3 after 21, Bohannon, Jennings and wells the men out, Croft and Vilas currently at the crease.

VIlas was also out and it became 58-4, now and Croft and Bell have moved us along to 69-4.

71 for 5 - don’t know what Croft was trying to do. All looking a bit like end of season stuff to me.

83-6 Balderson falling on the stroke of lunch, definitely seem to be nursing a hangover from the Kent defeat.

131 ao

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 1:58 pm

Did well to get 131, and the one hope for Lancs is it is spinning aplenty, as it often does at Chelmsford.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 2:09 pm

An early scalp for Bailey striking with his 3rd delivery.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 2:15 pm

7-2 Williams strikes, maybe 131 isn't as low a total as it seemed.

Our batting does have a habit of capitulating, although to be fair, we do have Essex at 36-4.

Blimey- just catching up with score in this Lancs game and note that it's Pakistan v England T20 starting in at 15.30; I'd forgotten all about that!

Moeen captain just won the toss and will bowl first and chase later. Alex Hales finally back in the team.
Come on England.

A dedicated thread started now on this Eng game.

64/4 at tea Essex slowly recovering.

Looks like the ECB want Surrey to win it. Out of the England team that played South Africa recently, only Pope and Foakes have been allowed to play in this round of games. Both play for Surrey!

Chelmsford wicket a bit dodgy,16 wickets so far on 1st day.

Pope has saved the Surrey innings as well with his sublime ton.

105-8.

After all that, a first innings lead of 24!

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 5:18 pm

Lancs 0-1 (Wells out), that's 21 wickets already today

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 5:26 pm

If one player could get 50….

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 5:27 pm

2-2

Good grief

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 5:30 pm

Good grief Lancs 2-3 2nd dig, lead of 26, this is becoming a farce now, and the game at Hampshire isn't much better, Kent 165 all out, Hampshire 54-8.

lakedistrictclaret · Post by **lakedistrictclaret** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 5:33 pm

Make that 2-4.

Getting silly now. Will the pitch inspectors be paying a visit to Essex, 24 wickets in the day suggests they should.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 5:37 pm

5-5

FIVE overs!!!!

dsr · Post by **dsr** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 5:37 pm

Rund caught up with wickets at 4-4. Then fell behind again, 4-5.

Maybe they should declare now to get the use of the wicket again? The lead is 30.

And don't get the pitch inspectors involved - they will deduct points from Lancashire, regardless of where the match is played!

I remember Lancashire once got points deducted for a wicket where the opponents made 200 twice and Neil Fairbrother got a double century in Lancashire's only innings of 400+.

Bet Essex don't lose anything.

7-6

The pitch is a joke!!!

5-5 now. Crazy number of wickets on day1 & not over with yet.

Can safely say I’ve never seen a team 7/6 before.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 5:43 pm

Hampshire 57 all out, so it's not just Chelmsford where the wickets are tumbling.

Wasn't that the admission price for this match in 1967?

Whoop! hold the bus Lancs have now reached double figures.!

George Bell getting into it. 23-6, Bell 17 not out.

26 wickets in the day and 12 were lbw, including 3 in 4 balls by Snater in Lancs second innings ---my mate in CHelmsford reckons that Snater's dad was umpiring! He also reckons that the pitch inspectors need to have a look.

Nelson under 15's bowled Whalley out for 9 in the early '90's so there's a good chance they may have been 7/6 at some stage.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 7:10 pm

Lancashire claimed 5 lbw of the 12
Kettleborough and David Millns the umpires
Both well respected
Obviously the wicket has to be inspected as it was not fit for 4 day game

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Sep 21, 2022 10:47 am

34/7, Bell made a useful 24, easily the highest score of the innings, lead of 58.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Sep 21, 2022 10:58 am

54/8.

RammyClaret61 · Post by **RammyClaret61** » Wed Sep 21, 2022 11:31 am

73 all out. Lead by 97.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Sep 21, 2022 11:32 am

73 all out, so Essex need 98 for victory on this minefield.

Essex 28/4 chasing 98. What an awful game.

Essex 28-2, no 28-3 after 9.3 overs.

Hat trick for Balderson?
