Four whole days? I fear that the Essex players could spend a very long time in the field.

Better not tell them here at Old trafford: they're not happy at being overlooked for an Ashes Test/slaughter of the innocents next year.

The moral being forget about expensive ground improvements & just suck up to the ECB every waking hour of the day.

Well done everyone concerned. Especially the Officers, Committee, Larry, Danny, Fozzie and the ticket office ;)

Sadly VP will probably be still boycotting Chelmsford :(

How do you know it’s all going to work seamlessly? Anyway, why did we get this game? Maybe because the Aussies wanted it, because. leaving aside The Oval, where’s the nearest large first class ground to Central London? (Or Earls Court!)
