A long overdue move into the loan market by Essex.

It should enable us to drop a batsman and play that 9th bowler.

Saggers, if fit - he should fit in well - would be a very useful addition. He was regularly taking 60+ wickets a season back in the time when Gough was still an international, people held out for an international future for Tudor, Thomas was taking wickets for Glamorgan, and Irani and Flower were able to play every game. Don't panic!

Cynicism aside, the players available on loan are limited, and that's a pretty impressive pedigree. Let's hope he is fit and hasn't lost it with age, as we sure need some decent bowling.
 
Coincidentally, Saggers plays club cricket with a guy I work with. He's a bit disappointed to be losing him from the side, although he's an Essex fan, so is seeing the bright side!
