Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

VIDEO: Don Topley talks MCCF and North Stars!
Q: What is the MCCF, how did it originate, and how did it perform this summer?

VIDEO: "The Grumbler" talks about recent events at Essex Cricket.

VIDEO: "The Grumbler" talks about recent events at Essex Cricket.
Q: How does the discussion about County Championship reform affect Essex and other non-host counties?

VIDEO: "The Grumbler" talks about recent events at Essex Cricket.
Q: What are the main factors keeping Essex afloat this season despite injuries and a tough schedule?

Q: What are your standout memories of wearing the Essex shirt? Are there any games or personal milestones that really stand out?
