With a Test Match to write about and a fairly simple Essex match I am going to be brief on this one, no really I am! The Royal London Cup is a great format for cricket, generally a fast paced exciting day of cricket, yet with more ‘meat’ than a T20 match, and a result … More Essex CCC v Lancashire CCC – Event 98
Now, this is going to be a very quick ‘blog’. Those who keep track of T20 Blast cricket and Essex in particular will know that this game was rained off. I live in Chelmsford so watched the rain fall all day – I knew it was highly unlikely that cricket would happen that day. However … More Essex Eagles v Kent – Event 95
Having been at the debacle that was Day 4 of the Lords Ashes I returned 4 days later for a more light hearted evening of T20 Blast. A local derby if there is such a thing in cricket between Middlesex and Surrey. As a Surrey member I was naturally hoping to see an away win. … More Middlesex v Surrey T20 Blast – Event 94
I’m writing this after Event 93 – Day 4 of the Ashes Test at Lords – I’m quite relieved that I haven’t had time to write about the game at The Oval, it means I may have calmed down before I start that one! I’d bought tickets for my brothers to watch Somerset at the … More Surrey v Somerset T20 Blast – Event 92
Now then, I think this is when people realise I really am something of a cricket geek! And I suspect I’ll be setting the tone for my days at The Ashes. I can see the full days I spend will most likely to a Phlog (made up word) rather than my often rambling blogs. Let’s … More Surrey Cricket v Gloucestershire Cricket – Event 83.
Having started the week with lunch with Sir Garfield Sobers (I’m still pinching myself) the cricket theme of my week continued. The joys of having 2 memberships means I’ll have cricket galore on top of my Ashes days, being something of a cricket geek that’s a piece of heaven for me! The 1st game of … More Essex Eagles v Hampshire Royals – Event 82
By strange coincidence I managed to do an impression of being a Kent fan, watching them 2 evenings in a row! Mixing things up with my T20 viewing this season had me at the Oval for the visit of the Spitfires. I had a morning of messing about with my photos from the game in … More Surrey Cricket v Kent Spitfires – Event 79
Having never been to Canterbury to watch Essex play I decided to head down after work for their T20 clash with Kent. I may have been a bit foolhardy, I hadn’t really considered how far away Canterbury is! Typically the day was one full of accidents all over the M25 and M2, the M25 had … More Kent Spitfires v Essex Eagles – Event 78
My Friday, in other words, Thursday, saw another Essex T20 Blast fixture, this time the visitors were Gloucestershire. The joys of having the County Ground on my doorstep meant I had time to pop home after work before heading to the Members parking at Meteor Way. I’d chosen unallocated seating, which on this glorious evening … More Essex Eagles v Gloucestershire – Event 75
Friday night means T20 Blast! I really didn’t engage my brain when I wrote the Surrey v Essex fixture in my diary. For some stupid reason I interpreted the match as a Royal London day time fixture, when I paid £99 for a Take That ticket! Naturally when it came down to making a choice … More Surrey v Essex Eagles T20 Blast – Event 73
