We continue our look back at the great Graham Napier moments with a chance to watch another memorable moment. Following our ‘Essex Archives’ screening on Friday of our match versus Surrey Lions in 2013 where Napes took 4 wickets in 4 balls, we now take you back to Tuesday 24 June 2008.
This is another match that will live long in the memory of every Essex fan for one special performance from a legend of the Club.
A T20 World Record… 152 Not Out. 16 Sixes.
Graham Napier’s world record innings put T20 on the map at Chelmsford and around the world as he smashed balls to every part of the ground.
The match versus Sussex Sharks was broadcast live in front of the Sky Sports cameras and 10 years on from that match in 2018, the Club made a special documentary video to mark the remarkable day.
The documentary was shown live for the first time at the opening Vitality Blast match of the season in 2018 against Sussex Sharks and was supported by the Peter Edwards Museum & Library, which is based at The Cloudfm County Ground.
