Afternoon everyone...
Yes, it's back - it's the County Championship... and we're playing Yorkshire at Chelmsford. They won the toss, elected to field, and we've moved at a steady rate to 77/1 off 35 overs.
Big Will Jefferson has already notched his first half-ton of the campaign... top lad! 56 not out off 101 deliveries including 8 fours. Marvellous.
Quite like the look of today's line up as well:
WI Jefferson, AN Cook, GW Flower, RS Bopara, A Flower, *RC Irani, +JS Foster, GR Napier, AJ Tudor, AR Adams, D Gough.
Looks a pretty good line-up to me... although I wouldn't be too sad to see Grant Flower make way for the returning Danish Kaneria.
Indeed, not sure who will make way for Kaneria once he's back from the sub-continent...
Finally, absolutely delighted that we've brought Alex Tudor on board. I would love it if Goughie nursed him back to his best... no reason why Tudor's England days should be behind him.
Ah, leather on willow... it's back, and I'm delighted.
