AFTER great success in the T20 Blast competition this season, Essex batsman Tom Westley believes the Eagles have the right ingredients to go well in the 50-over format.
The Eagles qualified top in the South Group in the shortest version of the game and followed it up with an impressive eight-wicket win against Worcestershire in their One-Day Cup opener.
And the 25-year-old thinks that the Eagles have got what it takes to go all the way to the final at Lords.
He said: "The 50-over format is something that will suit us well. Some of our spinners will come in well, we have a very strong batting line-up with some world-class seamers.
"Napier, Topley and hopefully the extra pace of Tymal Mills when he is fit will add a real extra boost.
"It's another competition that we have really been looking forward to and hoping that we can continue to go well in."
Westley continued his great form with a 109 not out against Sussex on Friday night, however, he was eclipsed by Luke Wright's record-breaking 153 not out from 66 balls.
Wright's knock was enough to take Sussex past the Essex total of 225, a world-record chase in the T20 format
Westley added: "We were pretty gutted obviously, especially for the lads because we desperately wanted to win that game, going into the quarter-final.
"But it was a superb knock from Luke Wright, a real special innings and he was the difference really."
