Essex 2017 (archived)

Brilliant end Div 1, what a way to end on a hat trick
Though my heart goes out to Zumerset fans

Went along to Lords yesterday.

Good crowd, cracking atmosphere and really tense stuff from ball one, with as dramatic a finale as you could ever have hoped for.

All for £5.00 entrance money. You have to like those numbers!
 
Hampshire appear to have been un-relegated from Division 1, sending Durham down, due to financial irregularities! :omg:

So that's another shorter away trip for us! :cool:

Should have been an ever shorter away trip. IMO they should have reinstated the 2nd promotion spot they took away from div 2 this season and Kent should have been promoted. Hants are a big club though and money talks
 
Essex have signed South Africa spinner Simon Harmer on a 1 year deal as kolpak signing

http://www.essexcricket.org.uk/2016/10/21/essex-ccc-sign-simon-harmer-on-one-year-contract/

Interesting signing.

Decent-ish pedigree and importantly can hold a bat - something that's vital for us now we've lost Napier.

I hope we don't go any further down the route of Kolpaks/loophole signings. That's Dixon, Quinn, Zaidi and Harmer signed by Silverwood (and RtD already there).

1. Chopra
2. Browne
3. Westley
4. Bopara
5. Lawrence
6. RtD
7. Foster
8. Harmer
9. Porter
10. Overseas Bowler
11. Quinn/Dixon/Beard/Walter
12. Wheater
13. Zaidi
14. Cook
 
Essex cheating bar-steward XI coming on nicely in terms of bowling Amir, Kaneria and Westfield.

Mark Waugh was also fined for accepting payments from bookmakers; Salim Malik is currently serving a lifetime ban for match-fixing; whilst Don Topley admitted match-fixing as well:blush::sad::'(
 
I agree.

He'll be a real handful. Left arm over in English conditions against county opposition.

Our bowling attack, even without Masters & Napier, could be really formidable next summer.
 
First T 20 versus Surrey, revenge needed for loss last year, in which we should have won
Remember saying Batty is a crap bowler, lo and behold he becomes England Test player again :smile:
