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 have to confess to delaying writing this particular ‘event’ up for some strange reason. I am inclined not to write any words and just post lots of photos. But, that’s not my way so here we go. Lords – the Home of Cricket – is the one ground I had no control over when … More England v Australia – Lords Day 4 – Event 93
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
A reasonable nights’ sleep and it was time to head back into Cardiff for what I hoped would be the final day of the 1st Ashes Test. England had set Australia a target of 412 to win the game. Theoretically they had 2 days to get that total, although rain was promised for Day 5. … More England v Australia – Cardiff Day 4 – Event 91
A quick explanation before I start – I took the decision when I started on my blog that each day, each game on the same day would be its own event. And so here’s the first of what could be 13 days at The Ashes for me this summer! That’s all dependent on both the … More England v Australia – Cardiff Day 3 – Event 90
When I collected my tickets for Australia’s visit to the County Ground I was very hopeful that I’d be able to spend a good part of my Saturday watching them in action. Some of me thought it might be done and dusted by then, but Essex made a good competition of the game and the … More Essex CCC v Australia Day 4 – Event 88
A morning at the Premiership Rugby Fixtures Release gave me a small quandary – Essex were playing Australia in Chelmsford and Surrey were playing T20 against Middlesex at the Oval. In reality I didn’t have to think too much – I rushed back to Chelmsford after having a great morning. A chance to see the … More Essex CCC v Australia – Day 3 – Event 87
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.
