Essex County Cricket Team


Essex County Cricket Club's best batsman, Keith Fletcher, and the ‘Cricketer's Cricketer', bowler John Lever speak to Anglia TV.

It's 1977 and Essex County Cricket Club are in their heyday. Gerry Harrison, for Anglia Television, interviews two of the players, Team Captain (and the team's best batsman - after Gooch, maybe) Keith Fletcher, and left-arm pace bowler, the ‘Cricketer's Cricketer', John Lever. Both are confident for the season ahead. We also see Keith Boyce, Kenny McEwan, Graham Martin, and Ray East.
