Once again, Essex Cricket being rewarded for bowling so, so straight, wicket to wicket.

Lancs 77/6 - 6wkts down and 5 of the 6, using the stumps!

Nobody bowls straighter with the new ball, than Esx.

Esx on course for a splendid three day win.

Live cricket is on the Radio and enjoying the chat with Commentators: former pros and bowlers too, Kevan James (BBC Radio Solent Sport) and Simon Hughes (@theanalyst).

Always good to listen to the wise expertise and experience!

Pleased to see the Dukes back in operation.

Only Third week of the season and here we go!

Surely this is so wrong and makes a farce of County Cricket.

A one game loan๐Ÿซฃ

Shocking!

What a wonderful photo by Huw Turbervill - some wickets there!

Must have been a lovely occasion too at the Lord's Cricket Ground for the launch of Mr Lawrence Booth 2024
Wisden Almanack.

Did inswinging medium pacer Huw gain any new bowling tips from this fine trio of Lever, Malcom & Wood?

Hearing many amateur cricket leagues in UK are delaying competitive league fixtures a week to give groundstaff more time to prepare their cricket squares.
However, The East Anglian Premier League (in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambs & NEssex) will commence this Saturday 20th April.

Loved chatting cricket with 'Deadly', as a player & when holding positions with Kent Cricket & Lord's Cricket Ground.

Always encouraging and supportive with my own career too.

Another piece of my own childhood has gone.
