She turned down the complaint about team mates taking the micky for having a high pitched voice.
I noticed Sir Chef did the same against GG at a recent awards ceremony, but he just ignored it.

Maybe Lord Cook got a slap afterward, cheeky little?

Player 1  Z. Sharif,    coach : G Gooch.
Player 2  J.Ahmed,    coach : Irani, Grayson.
Player 3  M.Chambers,   coach : Irani, Grayson.

No mention of the trialist involved in the nasty banana / flat share  issue, but it was poorly handled by Essex.  By method of elimination I suspect it was a bowler from Yorkshire CCC.

I don't subscribe to this so can't see the full article but the bit you can see is interesting.

While none of the perpetrators are named, The Cricketer understands they include a former chair, an ex-head coach, a current player and a member of the coaching staff

The last two seem pretty easy to indentify, you'd think.

Current player and (current) member of the coaching staff?! Surely not.

"One of the former Essex players subjected to racial abuse at the club says youngsters of today must never have to go through the same experience.

Jahid Ahmed was among three players whose allegations of mistreatment led to an independent investigation.

The inquiry's findings were published last week

and the club admitted serious errors had been made in the past.

"Unfortunately these things will never leave you, it will stick with you forever," Ahmed told BBC Essex.

"When people bully you or racially abuse you, these are things you're never going to forget. ...."

Good to see Droopy Dobell making hay out of this.  No names, just inferences.

Current player?  Was any of the current squad playing for the club when these hard done by whistleblowers were being abused?

I can think of one or two current/recent players who were.

Chef and Westley?  Browne/Porter? I?m assuming that you have brought up Little Chef to be more respectful?

At the AGM they said they are naming one side of the ground The Sir Alastair Cook end and the other The Graham Gooch end, I cannot think they would be doing this if either of them was named in the report.

Ah you?re optimistically assuming a rationality about the club management that the rest of us don?t necessarily share.

Perhaps more appropriate  for the physiotherapy suite. After all,  he was "hands on" boss.
