Looking at the pictures of him on twitter doesn't convince me otherwise (plus you'd have to be pissed to dress like that!)

Chrisity Sep 2017 12:33am, 9 Sep 2017 15,581 posts	Quote Pin Chrisity Of course i'd be happy to support the Trevor Chappell of Cricket, or Essex as they are known, declaring when you are 8 down to deny a possible bowling point to a team 36 points below you. Shame. Shame. Shame.
GregP Sep 2017 12:22pm, 9 Sep 2017 95,761 posts	Quote Pin GregP That's one possible interpretation- and one the pro-Surrey BBC are pedalling. We'd just secured a batting point. We declared, Lancs forfeited their second innings this we were into the last hour (or would have been after the two nominal innings breaks) and everyone could go home. As Billy Bragg once sang: When you wake up to the fact That your paper is Surrey Just remember, there are two sides to every story

What Essex get up too hardly matters to Gloucs 😆. Looked a big standard captains agreement so they could all go to the pub.
