*Official* Blast 2023

[slowfinger]

probably the closest bowler to Swann that I can remember seeing

 

[CartyDurham]

I said 183 but I’m revising it to 163 from here now

 

[chunksafc]

Bears are batting first

@Aidan11 @chunksafc @grecian @mackembhoy @Michelle Fivefer

anyone watching this one?

Still away from home with dodgy internet. Best I can manage is the test highlights on bbc4

Decent watch for a change those tonight

 

[Aidan11]

When Lawrence bowls it looks like he has a rubber arm.

 

[CartyDurham]

Bears starting to motor now harmer is off

130 for 5 off 15.5

hain 50 off 33 needs to bat through

 

[Aidan11]

Another 50 for Sam Hain. He's scored loads of runs in the Blast this year.

Giving me a bad back watching his action

this is bubbling up to be a good game

 

[CartyDurham]

kiss of death and hain goes

Woody was excellent today . He had it going through beautifully and got to 96.5mph on one ball

now England need to go past Australia score to set up a possible win

 

[CartyDurham]

Need two big overs to finish now .

 

[CartyDurham]

In other news, it looks like simms is off to coventry. @chunksafc

Looking like it will be somewhere in between.

 

[CartyDurham]

15 off the 19th

need something similar in the 20th and it’s game on

 

[Aidan11]

I didn't realise that's Vasbert Drakes son.

 

[CartyDurham]

Thought drakes was in pain there but he’s annoyed he didn’t clobber it for another 6

167 for 7

9 off the last .

not sure if that’s enough ? Going to be fun

 

[Aidan11]

Essex need 168.

I feel they will.do it.

 

[kevinw]

Another 50 for Sam Hain. He's scored loads of runs in the Blast this year.

He could bat at three in the Test side. He'd be more reliable than Pope.

 

[CartyDurham]

Wicket needed quickly as this is too comfortable so far for Essex

19 for 0 off 2
