Essex 2017 (archived)

[Bearded Shrimper]

21st April at Lords 'Bearded'.

Aiming to go possibly on the 4th day (Monday) if there's enough cricket left.

I'll be in the Long Room for that one, but sadly I can only do the Friday

Dan Lawrence - what a legend. He's done great for us here. I now regret not telling everyone who'd listen that he is the next big thing

 

[AndyT]

Credit to Essex CCC for giving Dan the chance when he was 17.

Now has the experience and belief to go all the way to the very top.

What with Hameed, Jennings, Root and all, the England set-up really is looking good for the future.

 

[Grayson]

Super effort by Dan Lawrence. Lancashire will be down the bottom with us come September so that draw could prove crucial.

Who gives way for Chef on Friday then, if anybody does?:unsure:

I would guess Chopra, have to play Cookie if fit
