ESSEX batsman Mark Pettini believes that every member of the side are ready to step up and perform when required.
The Eagles have enjoyed great success in the T20 Blast competition this season, currently topping the South Group with eight wins from nine games.
The 30-year-old said: "The thing is that someone different is putting their hand up each week to win the game. Obviously it was Tendo (Ryan ten Doeschate) this week and then the bowlers as a unit have consistently put in great performances."
Pettini struck 42 from 29 balls in Friday nights five-wicket win against Surrey, but highlighted the performance of spinner Tim Phillips.
The left-armer took the vital wicket of Kevin Pietersen for one, having previously bowled a maiden to the international star.
Pettini said: "He is an unsung hero at times and particularly tonight. Kevin (Pietersen) can be destructive on his day and when you are at a small ground you think that this guy could win the game very easily for them. To restrict him to that maiden and then get the wicket was a huge moment in the game."
This is an ethos echoed by teammate Matt Salisbury, who stated that nothing but the best is asked of them by skipper ten Doeschate.
Salisbury added: "Ryan always talks about everyone potentially being a match-winner, so everyone needs to put in full commitment every game and one moment can turn the game. So every player has the potential to win the game for us."
