FROM THE FRONT With Captain Ryan ten Doeschate The 50-over campaign has arrived and we are all looking forward to the return of whiteball cricket after opening the season with back-to-back away games in the Specsavers County Championship.

We are focused on generating that consistency required in these competitions to get out of the group and reach the knockout stages, and desperate for some ‘proper success’ in limited-over cricket, and that means winning trophies.

The squad we have at our disposal is full of match-winners and bringing back Peter Siddle to the Club has given the dressing room a lift because of the quality he brings.

Having an overseas bowler in the 50-overs game is something we tried last year with Wags [Neil Wagner] so we have utilised this option again this season. It’s a real positive being able to bring Peter back in, both on and off the field as he is a terrific guy to have around.

Then we also have the likes of Simon Harmer who was a big player in all formats for us last season. Obviously at this time of the season, you don’t expect pitches to turn a lot but his control, his knowledge of his own bowling and how batters play spinners is very impressive. So he will continue to bring a different dimension to our game and with Dan Lawrence and Tom Westley as well, the spin department is very strong.

There are some good teams in our group and the standard is improving each year. We will

prepare the best that we can for each and every game by looking at all the things we’ve done really well in the past. It is also key to look at the areas where we haven’t reached the standards we want and try and cover those weaknesses, which I feel we have in the close season training.

We really do believe we have the quality players to make our mark again in one-day cricket and so it’s just a case of going out there and performing at the level we want more consistently than we have done in the past.

Do that and we have a very good chance of getting out of our group once again, which has always got to be the first aim. Then we can plan for the next stage.

We are continually addressing the aims to make us an outstanding one-day side and a primary objective we have put in place is to look back and try to determine why we keep stumbling at knockout stages of competitions.

But I’m sure our luck will change, that’s the way I look at it. I know our players are good enough and I’ve personally never seen any mental fear in the team about approaching those knockout games.

But we do have to accept that we have messed up after sometimes finding ourselves in some fantastic positions. Given that chance again, we need to be more pro-active in addressing as to how we can turn things around and get the job done.”

ON BOARD

With Coach Anthony McGrath Head Coach Anthony McGrath is looking forward to the first white-ball competition of the season and believes his Eagles side will relish this year’s One-Day Cup, especially with the games being played in a block.

The way that the competition is structured playing all the games at once gives us a real chance to focus after the start with the red ball. It gives the players a real chance to apply their batting, bowling and fielding skills across the three-week block.

It feels like a lifetime since we played a match at Chelmsford and we’ve almost forgot we had a home ground after being on the road for the start of the season, but it will be nice to come back on Good Friday in front of our own supporters.

We’ve got close to getting to a final at Lord’s, with two quarter-finals and a semi-final in the last three years although that hasn’t been close enough.

Hopefully this year, we can reach the final and win it. We feel that we’ve got a very experienced team who can be a match for anyone, it’s just a matter of getting consistency in our performances. We’ve said before that the South Group is a tough one with three teams out of the nine qualifying, so you do have to get off to a good start.

Last year we sneaked through after three wins on the bounce, but we don’t want to be leaving it late this season. A good start will set us up and then carry the momentum through the group stages.

The first two matches (against Glamorgan and Middlesex) will offer us a good measure of where we are at. We are certainly looking forward to the competition but coming off the back of red-ball cricket, there has not been a lot of time to practice.

Every county has been in the same situation and if you start the competition well you have a real chance of progressing. With only a short number of games to qualify (for the knock-out stages), these first two games are going to be key.

INTRODUCTION Your guide to this season’s competition The UK is set to host this year’s ICC Cricket World Cup in the coming weeks.

Ahead of the leading cricket nations taking centre stage, the domestic 50-over format of the game is here with the North and South Group competing for this season’s Royal London One-Day Cup. This year’s competition begins on Wednesday 17 April as the Eagles start with a trip to Sophia Gardens, Cardiff and a clash against Glamorgan.

The second One-Day Cup match against Middlesex marks the long awaited opening home game of the season after a couple of weeks on the road in the Specsavers County Championship.

Ryan ten Doeschate’s men will be looking to put on a show in front of the home crowd on Good Friday, with a further two away trips to the Kia Oval and Taunton thereafter against Surrey and Somerset, respectively.

The games all begin at 11am except for the final home match of the season, which will see the Eagles take on Gloucestershire under the lights at The Cloudfm County Ground.

Sophia Gardens 17 April 11am

GLAMORGAN The Welsh side finished rock bottom of the South Group after recording just one victory in 2018. Colin Ingram was the single shining light for the side, averaging 57.42 with the bat, but not even his efforts were enough to move them from the foot of the table.

With the earlier start to this year’s competition to compensate for the ICC Cricket World Cup coming to our shores, it means teams like Glamorgan will be missing key players such as Ingram to the IPL tournament taking place at the same time.

It’s all change in the coaching department this season for Glamorgan. The outgoing Robert Croft being replaced by Matthew Maynard, who previously coached the side from 2008-2010. Former wicketkeeper, Mark Wallace is also part of the setup at Sophia Gardens after being appointed as Director of Cricket and together they will be looking to change their fortunes in 2019.

On the playing front, Australian international Marnus Labuschagne joins the side for the first half of the season as the overseas player, and joins new additions for 2019 in Charlie Hemphrey and Billy Root who is fresh from his century against Northamptonshire in the second round of Championship matches.

MIDDLESEX Despite Paul Stirling’s best efforts with the bat, Middlesex’s miserable run in white-ball cricket continued in 2018 and they ended up finishing sixth in the South Group, despite winning half of their games. Stirling scored well over 500 runs in 2018 and he will be vital in their upcoming campaign.

This fixture on Good Friday marks the opening home match of the 2019 season, which will also be Middlesex’s first competitive action in the OneDay Cup. It’s set to be an interesting contest with Eagles wicket-keeper Robbie White, who has joined on a two-month loan to cover injured Adam Wheater, set to feature against his parent club. The match will also be special for Middlesex Coach, Stuart Law who returns to the Club after a successful playing stint at Chelmsford between 1996-2001.

Law will be looking to make a positive start to the One-Day Cup campaign but is without his overseas star, Ross Taylor who joins up with the squad after this match.

SURREY Surrey reached the final at Lord’s in 2017 but were unable to progress past the group stages last year, finishing fifth in the South Group having mirrored Somerset’s results. They certainly have the squad to progress to the later phases of the competition, and can turn to the likes of Ben Foakes, Jason Roy, Sam Curran and Morne Morkel to do so. The very minimum they’ll be aiming for this year is to reach the play-offs to build on their Championship success last year.

Runs for Ravi Bopara and Varun Chopra weren’t enough to overcome Surrey last season with Jason Roy, Dean Elgar and Ben Foakes dominating with the bat, so the Eagles will be looking to get one over the ‘Three Feathers’ at the Kia Oval this year.

They have strengthened in the bowling department with new recruits Liam Plunkett and Jordan Clark, who are both very handy with the willow too.

SOMERSET Somerset finished just outside of the Play-Off places last season and were unfortunate to do so, having only lost three games in the competition.

James Hildreth was the danger man with the bat, averaging 62.57, which included a brilliant century against Glamorgan.

Varun Chopra was the star of the show in 2018 when he struck his highest List A score of his career with 160 runs off 149 balls. It was also a special day for 23-year-old Shane Snater who took 5 for 60 in a comprehensive victory.

Peter Trego and Max Waller will be important players in Somerset’s white-ball campaign after signing limited overs contracts this year, along with the additional experience of Pakistan batsman, Azhar Ali. Taunton is always a difficult ground to visit and the match also includes the added attraction of being the first match played under lights at Taunton, after new floodlights were installed during the close season.

HAMPSHIRE Hampshire won the 2018 Royal London OneDay Cup following a comfortable victory over Kent Spitfires at Lord’s last June. James Vince scored a mammoth 527 runs and was well supported by Joe Weatherley and Jimmy Adams with the bat whilst Fidel Edwards and Gareth Berg combined for an impressive 39 wickets.

The South Coast side will be looking emulate this achievement again this year after bolstering their squad with additions such as James Fuller from Middlesex, Warwickshire’s Keith Barker and South African Aiden Markram as the early season overseas player.

Last season, Hampshire came out winners over Essex at the Ageas Bowl after an impressive knock of 111 from Rilee Rossouw. However, Ryan ten Doeschate’s men will be looking to get one over Hampshire this time around, especially after a below par performance in Southampton saw his side beaten in early April for the opening match of the season.

SUSSEX SHARKS Once again Sussex Sharks failed to qualify for the play-offs after winning just two of their group stage matches. All-rounder, Laurie Evans continued to shine in white-ball cricket and was their most dangerous batsman, but there was little for Sharks fans to get excited about in their Royal London OneDay Cup campaign last year.

The much talked about Jofra Archer misses out this year due to his involvement in the IPL tournament.

However, Sussex are bolstered by the inclusion of Pakistan bowler, Mir Hamza as the overseas star, plus the return of Stiaan van Zyl who missed most of last season with a knee injury.

One player who will be eager for runs is Sussex hero, Luke Wright who has relinquished red ball duties this season and will be fully focused and being the match-winner more often than not for the Sharks this year.

KENT SPITFIRES Rivals Kent Spitfires reached the Final of the Royal London One-Day Cup in 2018 with Daniel BellDrummond hitting a notable 86 on the day, but it wasn’t enough to claim victory as Hampshire ran out winners by 61 runs. They have one of the most exciting line-ups in white-ball cricket, including Bell-Drummond, along with Sam Billings, Alex Blake and Heino Kuhn.

Under the stewardship of former Eagle and fan favourite Matt Walker, they’ll be looking to go one further in this year’s competition.

They have been able to bring in exciting talent Matt Renshaw as the overseas player for the year and he will be looking the light up County Cricket once again, as he did with a brief stint at Somerset in 2018.

The Spitfires are another side succumbed to IPL absentees, and it is without doubt that Sam Billings and Joe Denly will be big losses. Heino Kuhn takes the captaincy during their time away and likes to make big scores with the bat, along with stalwart Darren Stevens threatening to be a thorn in Essex’s side, as he so frequently is.

TOM WESTLEY LOOKING TO GO ONE FURTHER IN 2019 Tom Westley is determined to change the Eagles’ fortunes by turning undoubted prowess in the Royal London One-Day Cup into regular trips to Lord’s for the final.

The team have qualified from the group stages in each of the five seasons since the 50-over competition’s inception in 2014 but have not won a single knockout game.

Ahead of this year’s campaign, Westley said: “We’ve played some fantastic cricket leading up to the knockout stages, but we’ve never been able to quite get over the line on the day. I can’t put my finger on why that is.

“We’ve just come up against teams who performed better on that day. For it to happen consistently, though, there’s something not quite clicking. It’s something you don’t want to dwell on, but I think it’s certainly something we do have to address.”

Two years ago, in the Specsavers County Championship-winning season, the Eagles won seven of the eight group games, yet lost an exhilarating, high-scoring home semi-final against Nottinghamshire. Last year it was Yorkshire who repeated their 2015 quarterfinal win; before that, in 2014 and 2016, it was Warwickshire who dealt the knockout blows.

Westley, now 30, has been there for all the Royal London spills and thrills, and admits: “It’s been quite frustrating, hasn’t it? I think we’ve achieved quite a lot by getting to the quarter-final stages, but I think in any knockout tournament in any sport there is

an element of luck: if you have a bad day and the opposition have a good day, you will get knocked out. So hopefully we can string together a few more good days and take ourselves right through to the final.”

This season’s eight-game group programme is crammed inside three weeks with play-offs and semi-finals to fit in before the final at Lord’s on Saturday, May 25. Three of the first four games are away from Chelmsford before returning home for the run-in.

Westley said: “If you get a bit of a run of winning games, before you know it you could have won four, five, six games and you’ve pretty much qualified. But equally, if you start poorly and get yourself into a bit of a rut, then the tournament’s over before you know it. We’ve got to be conscious to be on it from the start.

THE EAGLE

Royal London One-Day Cup

But as we’ve said, we’ve qualified for the knockout stages every year, so I think we are one of those teams who do start well.

It’s just whether we can maintain that over the course of the whole campaign, and then push for honours.

“I think with the squad we’ve got we can realistically challenge in all three formats.

I know every county says that at this time of year, but whether they believe it is another thing. We’ve actually got a squad who won Division One two years ago and came third last year. We’ve got to the knockout stages of the whiteball tournament for goodness knows how long, and now I’m saying this is the strongest team I’ve played in at Essex.

That bodes well for this season, surely.”

The Royal London One-Day Cup has been good to Essex’s stroke-making No. 3. Westley has scored centuries in each season – the most recent in last year’s opener against Middlesex and averages 43 for his 1,651 runs.

“That was an important knock for me last year,” he said. “I was going through quite a tough time in the red-ball stuff, hadn’t scored many runs, got a few starts but never kicked on, so it was key. It is one of the positives of going from one format to another, particularly red-ball to white, that you can free yourself up and express yourself. Sometimes that is what you need to get your confidence back.”

LOUCESTERSHIRE Gloucestershire were unlucky with the weather in 2018 and nearly half of their games ended with no result. They subsequently finished seventh in the South Group and missed out on the playoffs, with Chris Liddle leading the bowling attack with 13 wickets.

However, they have proven on many occasions to be a dangerous white-ball side with the likes of Tom Smith and Chris Liddle underestimated performers with the ball. This was particularly evident last season with the pair taking six wickets between them to help their side to a 4-wicket victory in Bristol.

This match is the final South Group game for both sides in a Day/Night match at Chelmsford and it could be set to be very decisive match for the final group table given the limited number of matches played.
