They are literally 50 yard boundaries at Taunton anyway.
Im shit at this sort of thing, am I right in saying we need 14 points next week and no matter what anybody else does we win the County Championship?
Gilchrist's was a 2 game deal only. Hamza was ineligible from playing against us in the One Day cup, surely that applies in the CC too?
Can we bring one of the low, slow pudding pitches back next week please?

Presumably they won’t have Gilchrist?
Correct on Gilchrist. Assuming they won't have Hamza too.

We’ve just got to take Leics v seriously now. They’ve won this game and have a sense of injustice and a possible appeal to come.
Were nice in form and had two days extra rest.
Big toss to win again although we’ve lost the last three and won!
This.
Yes!
He's pretty pacey.
Keep in mind Yorkshire got into a good position trying to defend v Surrey and couldn't quite get the job done. Let's hope today is different.
That Essex old boy and the other one (Kit, I think they called him?) were so incompetent it was actually funny.
Im always to reluctant to criticise the live streams, its so good to be able to follow the games in such a way, particularly the away games that I can't always attend.
The only commentators that really boil my piss are the Somerset ones, the bias/arrogance is just too extreme. It really will be unbearable if they win the title.
Notts have shit the bed here.
New ball taken at Headingley, big half hour coming up now...
Come on Yorkshire please...
Cheers
Back onto us, credit to Ian Westwood in all this. People are very quick to slag him off sometimes I feel, so important to give him his dues when things go right. We've improved our 4day cricket so much under his stewardship, and just think of all the senior players he lost before he'd even started (Rhodes, Burgess, Rushworth etc). I think people forget just how bad we were under Robinson, and getting worse, during 2024 (remember Essex at home? A proper 'downing of the tools' from the players). Westwood has us fighting and then some, even last season, its been a remarkable upturn in fortunes.
A true Bear.

Good news for Essex is that Leicestershire have been deducted a massive 27 points for breaching pitch regulations.

Unless Leicestershire win their current match, they will be relegated. That means that they would have nothing to play for at Edgbaston next week. It could work in the Bears' favour, though Leicestershire would have no incentive to try to set up a result if weather intervenes.
This feels monstrously harsh on Leics.

Great win, 3 on the trot.
Best thing was dropping Davies and bringing Kai Smith in........nothing against Davies but it was a season overdue.
Sussex are 50 ahead with 4 wickets to go moving into the 3rd day. Yorks holding Somerset up 139 ahead with 4 wickets to get.
Title contenders in name only you reckon?
Hmm, they both spent considerable time off the field on Day 1 to be fair.

Come on Yorkshire, their lead is 108 and very highly rated (By me) George Hill is playing nicely with Bess and these 2 made runs in the 1st innings, please one of you get to 3 figures and help us out, we've done our bit.
Got wickets against us at Rugby School a couple of years back and people on here rubbished him, was unfair, he's a serious player and has been bowling well for a few years now whilst remaining a handy batter.
