We batted very poorly with the exception of Chanderpaul,who showed how it could and should have been done. From now on we have an uphill battle. Saving the game is out of the question,our only chance depends on early wickets tomorrow and a much better batting performance in the second innings. I,m not confident either will happen.Marcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-46494275544039363142014-04-14T20:46:02.870+01:002014-04-14T20:46:02.870+01:00A tough day today with Cook reminding us all of hi...A tough day today with Cook reminding us all of his obvious class. It is a pity we couldn't muster another fifty or so more runs because I think this would have changed the complexion of the contest somewhat.<br /><br />Let's hope conditions have swung sufficiently to give our side fair opportunity in the fourth innings. However, before that we have Cook, Foakes, Foster and Napier to worry about - not a bad quartet to still have around if you are an Essex follower. <br /><br />All is not over, but we will have to play very well to swing the pendulum back around into our favour.<br /><br /><br /><br />MASTERVILLAINAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
