Overwhelmed and touched by all the friendly messages, cricket is full of kind people. Would like to thank and tell a story about each individual but will just be saying a few personal thank yous at Chelmsford next week
@EssexCricket
Woke up in my whites this morning surrounded by a few good men, been an unbelievable week. Beyond lucky to be making memories with this fine group. Thank you for all the kind messages and all the support along the way
@EssexCricket
Not a job that necessarily requires gratitude but thank you for the kind messages. It's the most rewarding feeling leading a group of people who are all committed to the same goals and responsibilities. Delighted to have Tom and Harmy to drive us into the future.

clap is great. Our twins spent 2 weeks in ICU when they were born and I was blown away by the NHS staff at Princess Alexandra. The NHS and it's staff are great. Thank you
I've had a wonderful time in Nepal.Lovely to meet some talented cricketers and good people. Well done

What a privilege to share a dressing room with this man. Best keeper I've seen, true essex man, thorough professional and a good friend. Keep an eye on his coaching career too. Congrats on a great career Chief.

Great experience playing in the first Afghan Premier League, easy to see why they are making big strides in the cricketing world. Thanks to all involved

Fantastic to have been part of what was a wonderful day for cricket in Kathmandu. Over 8,000 inside + many 1,000s more just outside watched a wonderful game that ebbed & flowed throughout
Both 🇳🇵& 🇴🇲 arguably should have won, but the occasion will live much longer in the memory
Sleepless night,we need to get Hildy in.Leave Balance out..I'll explain to him it's because he doesn't have a twitter handle.Also, we haven't had any fixtures through yet so if there's someone who you think should/nt be in the team they could still get in depending on conditions.
Player of the series: Avinash Bohora, in his 1st series for Nepal
A story of redemption: He was so disappointed for not being able to perform in PPL. Had a long chat in team-bus returning back. 2 months ago, he was mistakenly worried if he was released from EPL team.
And today.

Aha KP,top fishing...you deserve unreserved respect for the player you were.But you could try have a positive impact on county cricketers aspiring to play for England or just be the best cricketer they can be.I know guys playing 2nd team league cricket who are 'living the dream'
The sad news filtered through today. Not many who have followed the team as loyally as Meggs in the time I've been at Essex. Very popular member who will be missed. Condolences to friends and family. Rest easy Meggs
Hats off to the

players and staff on being convincing Championship winners. Some standout performers but also the strongest team this year. Enjoy the celebrations

Essex, derby...it's still someone's dream. If living the dream is only for the select few of internationals who played the short ball well then fair play, I've got it wrong too.

Toughest bit of the job, parting ways with good people. Thanks for all the efforts Dicko, wholehearted and a pleasure to work with. You're always welcome

I left because I wasn't getting a chance because I didn't deserve a chance at that stage. I flattered essex as a bowler and got a chance here and thanks to coaches like G Gooch & G Flower became a 'batsman'.

We're disappointed and want to do better. We're not immune to criticism but I will stand up for everyone of these players that have brought the club forward. Some of you need to give your head a wobble.
No issue with technique and concentration. But you lack spatial awareness or (and even worse) you don't trust your other gripper. I'm sorry but Justine is the only Cook I want to see catching anywhere behind the stumps. 😂
Some take cricket as a game but its been a source of bread to many. Amongst the good souls Mr Baldev Mandal served the TU Cricket Tournaments as a ground member for 21…
We asked Simon Harmer for his cricket star of the future. He gave us two. "Ryan ten Doeschate's twin boys." Two Tendos at once? What a frightening thought.

Thanks for the nice write up Nick. Hate being self-indulgent but if you ignore the superlatives there's some inspiration for any aspiring cricketers who aren't quite cutting it atm.

Justine becoming quite the hit on Twitter, I like the George Bailey stance. Currently icing my shin but will post a video straight after my disciplinary hearing.

That's too kind of you guys, thank you. I mentioned to the staff at Essex that we'd like to do far more than just a shirt for your generosity so let's think of something and let the club know.
So 2020 has been crazy already but earlier in the year my dad in a charity auction bought the great
