I’ve fallen out of love with watching England over the last few years; from watching every day of every test in 2018 I gave it a miss in 2019 and of course Covid then came along. In spite off loving watching cricket at Lord’s I doubt I’ll watch England there again the prices are just … More England v South Africa at the Oval
It feels like a long time since I was watching my team, Essex play. August 17th and Yorkshire with one of the biggest downpours of rain I’ve experienced! Happily Essex had batted first and were able to bowl enough innings to see a result in their favour; that was of course a white ball game, … More The County Championship Round 14
With the rugby union season fast approaching my season ticket for my team, Saracens in bought at a cost of £755 for 16 home fixtures, I thought I’d have a look at prices for County Cricket ,memberships in 2022. I haven’t been able to find all Division 1 prices or show direct comparisons, but I … More The County Championship Round 12
8 matches in this round of the County Championship, I wimped out of travelling into London to watch Surrey v Essex at The Oval. I’m a member of both, a fan of Essex, and Surrey, when they aren’t playing Essex. I think cricket fans are often members of more than one county, for me the … More The County Championship Round 11
Having decided not to follow England in 2022 I’d had a carry over for Edgbaston where England lost and I couldn’t a ‘day’ at the Oval for this match. A 100 over match that lasted for just 44 overs, this was another white ball game dominated by the bowlers, well, the India bowlers at least! … More England v India – The First ODI at The Oval
Having booked an ODI at Edgbaston I found myself travelling to Edgbaston for 40 overs of cricket, that actually lasted for just 37 overs. This is going to be largely about sharing my photos than a write up of the match. England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and put India in to bat. This … More England v India – The Edgbaston T20
Round 10 saw 9 matches up and down the country, my team, Essex we’re playing at home against Gloucestershire, so excuse the photos being from Day 1 of that particular match! The ECB showed just how much they care about the Championship decided in their wisdom to arrange a Lions game, taking valuable players from … More The County Championship Round 10
Something special happened in this last home game of the T20 Blast league games, again. Essex had beaten their own T20 Blast score with 244 against Sussex, they beat it again during this match! Robin Das opened with Adam Rossington, I am going to put my stall out here and question why Feroze Khushi wasn’t … More Essex Eagles v Glamorgan
Week 9 of the County Championship came in the midst of the T20 Blast it also coincided with Covid catching up with me meaning I missed out on both Essex beating Surrey in the Blast and Day 1 of the CC match against Hampshire. More of that later as it was the first match of … More The County Championship Round 9
Something special happened at the Could County Ground when Ravi Bopara and his Sharks came to town. I still can’t get used to Ravi playing for another team, I’m not a fan of that, at all! Ravi won the toss and elected to field, he was asked who’d returned to the team and to my … More Essex Eagles v Sussex Sharks
