Hi everyone
Pre season testing went well. All the lads did brilliantly on the fitness tests and we certainly achieved the best results for a good few years. The tests are very thorough and consist of a yoyo test (similar to beep test), sprint tests, agility test, jump tests and strength tests.
Once the testing was out the way, the last few weeks have seen us do lots of team bonding/fitness sessions. These included a great day training with Saracens RFC and a tennis tourny. The rugby session saw us join their backs in a weights session which was quite intense. After we had lunch we sat in on their team meeting prior to their game vs leicester. Very interesting to hear the tactics that woud later see them win the game and narrow the gap at the top of the league. The boys then finished off in the afternoon playing a series of rugby games which got quite competitive at times. It should also be noted Tymal Mills has no idea about the offside rule!
The tennis was dominated by Foz who is a former county and national payer I believe. The only shred of competition he would have had would have been Pettini but he was ill on the day (suspicious).
Anyway, we now fly off to Barbados for our tour, its been a long hard winter in the gym and indoor school so this trip really kicks off the start of the season. I will try to blog and tweet daily or at least every other day for the duration of the trip. For scores and other updates please also log onto http://www.essexcricket.org.uk/
