SUSSEX V ESSEX - 14/08/06 |
|
Essex are the undoubted kings of the one day game, being masters at the Pro40 league in particular. And in captain Ronnie Irani, they have not only one of the most attractive and charismatic players in the game, but a man who seems to excel every time he plays against Sussex. If the Sharks harbored real ambitions of becoming Pro40 Champions, a victory against the Eagles would go a long way to proving they could do it |
