You can now vote for your DeVines Player of the Month for August with three contenders nominated for the award. August was a busy month for all despite three games being abandoned due to rain, as there were key fixtures in both the Vitality Blast and Specsavers County Championship to be played.
Sam Cook:
What a return Little Chef made from injury when the County Championship kicked back into action last month. In a crucial game at Canterbury, the seamer returned career-best match figures of 12-65 demonstrating great skill in a tight victory that saw Essex retain their spot at the top of the table.
Dan Lawrence:
3 half-centuries for the batsman in the Vitality Blast and a new contract made it a good month for Dan. His fluent knocks were instrumental in securing wins against Sussex and Gloucestershire whilst his score of 69 was crucial in helping the Eagles take a point away from Southampton.
Ravi Bopara:
Ravi flourished for the Eagles when we needed him most, and his performances with the bat helped secure the side a place at Finals Day for the first time since 2013. Against Surrey at The Kia Oval, he scored 70 from just 35 balls, which included 6 maximums. The following night at The Cloudfm County Ground, he put in another man of the match performance and scored 47 from just 27 balls and took 2 wickets to steer Simon Harmer’s side towards Finals Day.
Voting closes at 5PM on Sunday 15 September with the presentation taking place on Wednesday 18 September during Day Three of the County Championship fixture with Surrey at The Cloudfm County Ground.
