 | Forum Thread | What has happened to Essex in the cricket this year? at 07:20 21 Jun 2025
Struggling in the County Championship. Getting thrashed every game in the T20 Blast. Their team is not hugely dissimilar from the one that has been very successful in recent years. Elgar has replaced A Cook. One international-standard opener for another. Cox has replaced Lawrence. One batter on the fringes of the England team for another. But the core of Harmer, Cook, Porter and co. is still there. Too many youngsters? Allison, Das, Benkenstein and Thain have potential, but can Essex carry 2-3 of them in every match? Senior players not performing? Rossington signed a white-ball only contract, only to be dropped from the Blast because of his poor form. Best players missing? Cox and Cook being on the fringes of the England team means Essex have been without their best batter and bowler. Annoying, because neither have actually played for the England first XI, other than Cook against Zimbabwe. |
