The Never Ending Story...

The English cricket season may be over (or not, if you are one Essex or Leicestershire fan), but there is always something to talk about!

This week:

Debbie Knight and "The Grumbler" on Essex.

Dan Whiting on the transfer market.

Nigel Jones previews England's winter...

and Craig Tranter on the latest goings on at Lancashire.

I also say a few words about Jeffrey Archer, whose death was announced this week.
