Delighted to have been nominated and greatly honoured to have been included with giants of the industry that I admire so much. The very best of luck to all the nominees.
Somerset made Essex fight to the end but it wasn’t to be. It’s been a privilege to photograph this superb team throughout a fantastic season. Upwards and onwards to 2020 guys.

I was 6 when Alastair Cook came to the crease in Nagpur 12 years ago - there has been no finer cricketer to grow up following and it was a privilege to cover the first 46 runs of his final test innings today. Hopefully many more to come tomorrow!
