Going to be an interesting season, which of course I have to follow from afar. I was hoping they would have a fixture at Lancashire, does anyone have any idea why they are not away to Lancs?
So my live cricket fix will have to come in in division 2 at Durham.
Bit one sided in our games so far smashing Somerset, getting smashed by Surrey and now smashing Kent (which as a fixture I always went too with family who were from Kent, but no longer with us)
I see Surrey as the dark horses, and Essex as the team that are going to be right up there challenging with us, so if they fail to get a result today, which is looking likely then that will be very good.
Kent have moved on to 98/3
