Good comeback on the pitch for a second day in a row. Don't expect us to get these but good to see that fight.

Always a worry though, probably our two best players getting the wickets, every chance we wont see either of them next season  

[Graceroad]

They don't take off 2 overs for the change of innings because it's not the last day according to cricket expert Richard Rae.Can't see us chasing 275 but if Ackers can find some form you never know

[harpendenfox]

6-2. 14 overs left. Predict the close of play score folks…..

Not sure whether the captaincy is a sweetener for Parkinson to stay or whether he may want an excuse to be rid of it at this rate...

Ahmed signed for 4 years and Parky has 1 more year (I think) 

[Sunbury Fox]

It's the hope that kills you!! I guess we knew it would be down to the bowlers to get the runs needed.

Jokers  

[BigWesMorgan]

Haha we never ever disappoint do we

Does that sort of thing actually matter? Surely would only take a Div 1 team offering us a wod of cash to let him go?

[CrawlingFox]

The lads look determined to bag themselves a day off tomorrow.

[AjcW]

I mean on the plus side we've got down to our actual capable batsmen rather quickly...

[Sunbury Fox]

FFS. The one chance of a CC win all season and we fold like this. 

[Tommy Fresh]

You know full well wherever Azad rocks up next season he'll comfortably pass 1,000 runs in the championship. Whilst we'll of not signed an overseas opener, and we'll of signed two blokes either all rounders or bowlers with about 33% availability.

[Hitesh]

I reckon we'll do well to get to 50 tomorrow

[Cakey]

Still some hope. 

 

Two of those wickets were just crap shots tbh, opening bowler trundling in at 70mph.

 

We can still do it. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Just posted in the general cricket thread about him, but sign Dewald Brevis for T20 next year please. Claude might actually come in handy on this one 😂

I reckon the Groundsman puts glue on the crease when we bat, no other explanation for the lack of foot movement 

[CrawlingFox]

To lose 4 of the top 5 for just 9 runs is shameful.

 

We're going to need repeat performances from Swindells and Scriven and surely Ackermann is due a score...

[katieakita]

91 for 7 at lunch, time for people to stand up and make themselves legends (or probably not)

[Voll Blau]

Ah shite. It's the hope that kills you.

Mine went a long time ago. 

 

I just wait for it to happen now

[Voll Blau]

On a brighter note, at least we're going to fight the ECB's bollock...

Ball hit him outside leg stump. Umpire nearly broke his arm he had it up that quick. Good knock

Agreed - it was a truly awful decision. You could see off and middle when the ball hit Ackers

[Stadt]

Our cheap scores are often < 5, if 3 or 4 of the lower order picked up 15 or so it actually gives the lower order a fighting chance
