'''Essex County Cricket Club''' is one of eighteen [[first-class cricket|first-class]] [[county cricket|county clubs]] within the domestic [[cricket]] structure of [[England and Wales]]. It represents the [[Historic counties of England|historic county]] of [[Essex]]. 

Founded in 1876, the club had [[minor counties of English and Welsh cricket|minor county status]] until 1894 when it was promoted to first-class status pending its entry into the [[County Championship]] in 1895. Since then, the team has played in every top-level domestic cricket competition in England. 

Essex currently play all their home games at the [[County Cricket Ground, Chelmsford]]. The club has formerly used other venues throughout the county including [[Lower Castle Park]] in [[Colchester]], [[Valentines Park]] in [[Ilford]], [[Leyton Cricket Ground]], the [[Gidea Park Sports Ground]] in [[Romford]], and [[Garon Park]] and [[Southchurch Park]], both in [[Southend]]. 

The limited overs team has previously been known as the '''Essex Eagles''' but now play simply as '''Essex'''.

==Earliest cricket in Essex==
{{For|Essex county teams before the formation of Essex CCC|Essex county cricket teams}}
It is almost certain that cricket reached Essex by the 16th century and that it developed during the 17th century with inter-parish matches being played. The first definite mention of cricket in connection with the county is a highly controversial match in 1724 between Chingford and Mr [[Edwin Stead]]'s XI, which is recorded in ''The Dawn of Cricket'' by [[H. T. Waghorn]].  The venue is unknown but, if it was at Chingford, it is also the earliest reference to cricket being played in Essex as well as by an Essex team. The game echoed an earlier one in 1718 as the Chingford team refused to play to a finish when Mr Stead's team had the advantage. A court case followed and, as in 1718, it was ordered to be played out presumably so that all wagers could be fulfilled. We know that Lord Chief Justice Pratt presided over the case and that he ordered them to play it out on [[Dartford Brent]], though it is not known if this was the original venue. The game was completed in 1726.

The earliest reference to a team called Essex is in July 1732 when a combined Essex & Herts team played against the [[London Cricket Club]]. In July 1737, there was London v Essex at the [[Artillery Ground]], London winning by 45 runs. In a return game at Ilford on 1 August 1737, Essex won by 7 runs. References are then occasional until 1785 when the Hornchurch Cricket Club became prominent. This club had a strong team that was representative of Essex as a county. However, the sources differed among themselves re whether the team should be called Essex or Hornchurch. But there is no doubt that Essex was a First-Class county from 1785 until 1794, after which the county strangely and abruptly disappeared from the records for a long time. An Essex CCC was formed and held fixtures in 1860 and held an Annual General Meeting in 1861, but no further reference is seen until 1876.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000225/18610111/026/0003 |title= The Essex County Cricket Club |date=11 January 1861|newspaper=Chelmsford Chronicle |access-date=6 November 2022|page=3 |via=The British Newspaper Archive|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

==Club history==

Essex CCC were formed on 14 January 1876 at a meeting in the [[Shire Hall, Chelmsford]]. The new club did not become First-Class until 1894, playing its inaugural first-class match on 14, 15 & 16 May 1894 against [[Leicestershire CCC]] at [[Leyton]]. It was the initial First-Class match played by either club, and Essex failed to win a match against any other county.<ref>Pardon, Sydney H.; '''John Wisden's Cricketers' Almanac'''; Thirty-Second Edition (1895); pp. 205–207</ref> In 1895, both of these clubs and [[Warwickshire CCC]] joined the [[County Championship]]. In the club's first championship match, of their first championship season, [[James Burns (cricketer)|James Burns]] scored 114 against Warwickshire at [[Edgbaston Cricket Ground|Edgbaston]] and this was the first century for Essex in First-Class cricket. [[George Higgins (cricketer)|George Frederick Higgins]] scored the second championship century for Essex in the same match putting on 205 with Burns for the fourth wicket. The club made a high score of 692 against [[Somerset County Cricket Club|Somerset]] with the veteran [[A. P. Lucas|Bunny Lucas]] scoring 145, but the most notable feat was by [[Walter Mead (cricketer)|Walter Mead]] who took 17–119 against [[Hampshire CCC]] at Southampton.

[[File:Essex1897 RedLillywhite1898.jpg|thumb|right|Essex CCC 1897]]
Essex improved rapidly from 1895, so that by 1897 they were in the running for the Championship, only losing it when [[Surrey County Cricket Club|Surrey]] beat them at Leyton.<ref>Pardon, Sydney H.; '''John Wisden's Cricketers’ Almanac'''; Thirty-Fifth Edition (1898); pp. 45 and 56</ref> They fell off after this despite beating a fine Australian team on a dubious pitch in 1899, never finishing higher than sixth between 1899 and 1932.<ref>^ Wynne-Thomas, Peter; The Rigby A-Z of Cricket Records; pp. 55–58 {{ISBN|072701868X}}</ref> Their batting on Leyton's excellent pitches was generally good with the "Essex Twins" of [[Percy Perrin|Perrin]] and [[Charles McGahey|McGahey]] and the sound and skilful [[Jack Russell (Essex cricketer)|Jack Russell]], but the bowling depended too much on Mead, [[Claude Buckenham|Buckenham]] and later [[Johnny Douglas|Douglas]] and when available [[George Louden|Louden]].

With the decline of these players, Essex fell to some of their lowest levels ever during the late 1920s. Their bowlers conceded over 40 runs a wicket in 1928 – about the highest ever with uncovered pitches. The emergence of [[Jack O'Connor (English cricketer)|Jack O'Connor]], [[Stan Nichols]] and when available, the [[History of English amateur cricket|amateur]] fast bowlers [[Ken Farnes]] and [[Hopper Read]], though, made Essex during the 1930s a dangerous if inconsistent side. They finished as high as fourth in 1933, and owing to their pace bowling maintained almost as high a standard up to the outbreak of war. The batting, however, tended to depend too much upon O'Connor and a number of amateurs who were rarely available, and Essex lost too many games to break the North's stronghold on the Championship.

After World War II Essex fell off, taking their first [[wooden spoon (award)|wooden spoon]] in 1950.<ref>{{cite book|last=Wynne-Thomas|first=Peter|title=The Hamlyn AZ of Cricket Records|year=1983|page=62|publisher=The Hamlyn Publishing Group Ltd|isbn=0-600-34667-6}}</ref> During this period it was left to [[Trevor Bailey]] to do all the pace bowling, and he was often unavailable due to Test calls, whilst spinner [[Peter Smith (cricketer, born 1908)|Peter Smith]] was frequently overbowled until he retired in 1951 – thus a strong batting line-up led by Bailey and [[Doug Insole]] could seldom win games. Not until 1957 did Essex come back into the top half of the table, but Bailey and [[Barry Knight (cricketer)|Barry Knight]] never had support of sufficient class to permit them to reach the top of the table, even when [[Robin Hobbs]] became England's last successful leg-spinner late in the 1960s.

In the 1970s, with overseas players now permitted, Essex were able to gradually strengthen their team to achieve much more than they ever had before. This decade saw the advent of [[Graham Gooch]], one of England's finest opening batsmen, even though he began his Test career with a [[wiktionary:pair#Noun|pair]] against Australia in 1975. He didn't return to the England team until 1978, but after a slow start began to assert his dominance over Test bowlers as he had on the county scene. Dedicated to training, he forced his burly physique through a tough regime to prolong his career long after some of his contemporaries had retired.

Along with Gooch, county captain and England batsman [[Keith Fletcher]] built a powerful eleven in the late 1970s that dominated domestic cricket from 1979 to 1992, when Essex won six of thirteen County Championship titles. The bowling in the first half of this period was borne by tireless left arm seamer [[John Lever]] and spinner and prankster [[Ray East]]. The South African [[Ken McEwan]] and Fletcher were the best batsmen after Gooch. As Lever declined, England all rounder [[Derek Pringle]] and fast bowler [[Neil Foster]] took over, whilst John Childs crossed from [[Gloucestershire County Cricket Club|Gloucestershire]] to take over as the chief spinner.

In the 1990s, Essex had more internationals, including [[Nasser Hussain]], who captained England in several series. Bowlers [[Mark Ilott]] and [[Peter Such]] earned caps, as well as wicket keeper [[James Foster (cricketer, born 1980)|James Foster]].  [[Ashley Cowan]] toured the [[West Indies]] in 1997/98 without playing an international match.  Essex were also able to sign England fast bowlers [[Darren Gough]] and [[Alex Tudor]], after they left [[Yorkshire County Cricket Club|Yorkshire]] and [[Surrey County Cricket Club|Surrey]] respectively.

Led by all-rounder [[Ronnie Irani]] Essex won the [[National League (cricket)|National League]] Division 1 title in [[2005 English cricket season|2005]], their first major title in eight years.

In 2006, Essex successfully defended their [[National League (cricket)|National League]] title in the newly rebranded [[Pro40]] format by the narrowest of margins, having tied for the title on points. The club missed out on promotion in the County Championship only on the last day of the season, losing to [[Leicestershire County Cricket Club|Leicestershire]] while their rivals [[Worcestershire County Cricket Club|Worcestershire]] beat [[Northamptonshire County Cricket Club|Northamptonshire]]. In that season's [[Twenty20 Cup]] Essex beat [[Yorkshire County Cricket Club|Yorkshire]] to reach the semi-finals at [[Trent Bridge]], where they were beaten by eventual tournament winners Leicestershire. Essex also had Twenty20 success in the first floodlit Twenty20 Tournament, held between the four teams with permanent floodlights, in a series of 2 legged matches. Essex beat Derbyshire 1–0, after the first leg was washed out, and they won the second leg convincingly.

Essex was promoted back to Division one for the 2010 season.<ref>{{cite news |title=Essex 'patient' on player search |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/counties/essex/8356204.stm |access-date=6 December 2019 |work=BBC Sport |date=12 November 2009}}</ref>  Essex won the [[County Championship]] in 2017<ref>{{cite web |title=County Championship Division One Table - 2017 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/table/series/8052/season/2017/county-championship-division-one |website=ESPN cricinfo |publisher=ESPN |access-date=6 December 2019}}</ref> and 2019,<ref>{{cite web |title=County Championship Division One Table - 2019 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/table/series/8052/season/2019/county-championship-division-one |website=ESPN cricinfo |publisher=ESPN |access-date=6 December 2019}}</ref> and won the [[Bob Willis Trophy]] in 2020.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bob Willis Trophy final: Essex draw with Somerset but take inaugural title |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/54315955 |access-date=17 February 2023 |work=BBC Sport |date=27 September 2020}}</ref> Essex won the [[2019 T20 Blast]], beating [[Worcestershire County Cricket Club|Worcestershire Rapids]] in the final.
