I’m going to try to do this one differently, get the writing done before I tackle the photos (I took over 4000, they’re going to take some time!). I joined as a Surrey and England member before the last home Ashes, over those years I’ve managed to get to a few home games and therefore … More Surrey v Essex
This final day of the warm up match between Essex and India was all a bit surreal. The day started with Paul Walter and James Foster at the crease. Foster is clearly a very experienced cricketer who did play for England, if not as many times as he really should. Walter on the other hand … More Essex v India Day 3
I’ and I imagine many others thought Day 2 of this warm up match would bring us a century as Dinesh Karthik was starting the day on 82, however he had a brain freeze on the first ball of the day from Paul Walter, he hit the ball skywards and Matt Dixon took a very … More Essex v India Day 2
And so the Superstars of India Cricket arrived at the Cloudfm County Ground in Chelmsford to play a warm up match against Essex. The game was due to be played over 4 days but that was reduced to 3 once the visitors had arrived in town. Hugely disappointing for those who’d planned to come along … More Essex v India Day 1

Having worked out that the match I’d planned to watch with my friend Alun was actually in Mansfield rather than Trent Bridge, we booked to go to Radlett to watch Kent (a team I have a soft spot for) against Middlesex (a team Alun has a soft spot for): my second visit in 4 days. … More Middlesex v Kent
I took over 2,000 photos during the 3 days fo this match which will take me some time to edit, so I’m going to do the writing first and add the photos later. I’d never been to watch cricket at the Worcester New Road ground so was watching with interest the events at the end … More Worcestershire v Essex
What a match! I’m going to start with a few facts, it’ll become obvious why as you read through. Sam Cook, Essex – Age 20, First Class matches – 11 Dan Lawrence, Essex Age 20, First Class matches – … More Essex v Yorkshire
Pakistan are back in town! They’re back in England to play England in a 2 test match ‘series’, with the first being played at Lords and the second Headingley. A lot has happened since they were here in 2016 when they won themselves a 2 all draw, winning both matches in London. Their iconic captain … More Kent v Pakistan – Warm Up Match
3 days and 3 sets of photos – that means lots, with a few wickets captured if you look closely! Essex’s defence of the title started with a ‘wet weekend’ literally when not a ball was bowled at Headingley. Lancashire across the Pennines played Nottinghamshire, losing heavily after being bowled out for 158 and and … More Essex v Lancashire – 2018
