Cricinfo staff

April 4, 2006

MCC has announced its side for the traditional curtain-raiser to the English season, their match against the County Champions, Nottinghamshire.

The MCC side will be led by former England opener John Stephenson, who is now the club's head of cricket, and includes Monty Panesar and Alastair Cook.

The four-day game begins at Lord's on April 14 and continues throughout the Easter weekend. Ticket prices are £12 for adults and £6 for juveniles (under 16 years of age) and over-65s.

MCC (from) John Stephenson (MCC, capt), Ravinder Bopara (Essex), Stuart Broad (Leicestershire), Rikki Clarke (Surrey), Alastair Cook (Essex), Steven Davies (Worcestershire), Ed Joyce (Middlesex), Robert Key (Kent), Alex Loudon (Warwickshire), Monty Panesar (Northamptonshire), Luke Parker (Warwickshire).

Don't really think Stephenson should be dragged out of his retirement bed yet again, but as strong looking side, though a little light on seamers given a green-tinged early season pitch.

With any luck, I'll be at Taunton next Saturday for the second of two comeback games for Marcus Trescothick, a Somerset one-day friendly against a Somerset County Board XI. An update on how Tres performs will be forthcoming - it'll be great to get watching some live cricket again. :)

Some Pre-Season Results

Essex beat Worcester.... the day before Worcester beat Essex

Warwickshire drew with Oxford Univ

I hate the Idea that the C&G trophy has become a massive groups with up to 4 games for some counties could be meaningless. The C & G trophy was the one domestic trophy that i loved with the Minor Counties, Minor Counties and County Board rubbing Shoulders with Counties... Hampshire played Shropshire last year and Shropshire players got the chance to play against Pietersen and Warne.... it sad for them..... ECB SHOULD BRING THEM BACK


and the National League as 40 overs RUBBISH

As admirable as the sentiments are, capital letters don't help.
