interesting his first game could be Essex v Kent!

It's only a few days ago Essex were wishing Amir a happy birthday!

He only joined Essex because he was a mate of Ravi.

Watching him destroy Yorkshire in two days at Scarborough in 2017 is one of my best memories in nearly 50 years of watching Essex.

Slogger, also one of my best moments, especially as the racial abuse was so abhorrent towards him.

It certainly motivated him, no wonder there is an ongoing investigation of racism at YCCC.

An investigation that will see no one found guilty and dismissed. Mark my words.

I wonder if he's going to put in a similarly good performance as he did for us, or whether he will replicate what happened with Salim Malik and that leggie. History suggests that you can never tell with PK players.

I think he is a quality bowler.  I dont see Kent having any worries with him
