DAVID MASTERS - fans' favourite "Hoddy" looks back at a great career in county cricket.

Mention David Masters to any Essex fan and a warm smile will spread across their face. One of Essex cricket's most dependable players in the time he spent at the club, before retiring in 2016, his metronomic line and length saw him bag many wickets and he was a key part of the side that won the Friends Provident One day Cup in 2009. Here, he reflects on his influences at Kent, Leicestershire and Essex and how he tried to convince Andrew Strauss how he could have done a job for England, if only Jimmy Anderson wasn't standing in his way!?!?!
