LOL, it had to happen.

Start delayed by rain!

 

[mikeW]

So the season officialy starts tomorrow, and the forecast is good for the 4 days.

Lancs start on Tuesday and im not sure what kind of side they will be able to put out. Hodge, Mahmood and Anderson are all missing and Loye is having back trouble, at least Hampshire won't have Warne.

Possible side

Chilton*
Sutcliffe
Horton
Law
Brown/Crook/Croft
Sutton+
Chapple
Cork
Hogg
Newby/Smith
Keedy

Why isnt Hodgey playing?

We look a bit short of batting with Loye and Hodge absent, though i don't think we can help that.

I would play Crook ahead of Brown/Croft and probably put Newby ahead of Smith because he has more pace.

Lancs are looking good this year, maybe we'll acctualy win it this time.

umm,

I was gonna start a thread for this, but I wasn't sure if it was allowed, but has anyone any tips for the Telegraph fantasy cricket comp.

I've already made up 3 teams, but they're not writ in stone or even ink yet. Is Silverwood looking good, are Mascharenas, Franks and Hogg looking fit and well? Will wessels and Gazzard be the coming Wicket-keeper batsmen?

What about the Aussies, Thorneley, Cosgrove, Cullen, White, Nicholson, Birt, Mitchell Johnson, Rogers, don't know a lot about all these players, whos going to have a big season, whose going to be found out in your opinion?

hey mate got a link for the Telegraph fantasy cricket comp?
Cosgrove would be the pick of the Aussies had a brilliant ING(1 day) and Pura Cup season and Birt would be a good bet too he made 1000 runs at an average of 50. Mitch Johnson has apparently canceled his contract.

Telegraph

I don't think they've the players up there yet, its just been in the newspaper. The game doesn't start until 3rd May, so plenty of time.

 

[luckyeddie]

Old story.

Do an internet search (or a cricketweb one) for Brad Cheaty-Hodge and all will be revealed.

Somerset v Cornwall - Just covered the first game with my new semi-pro setup, very very pleased indeed with the results..

 

[open365]

Is it just me, or does the bowler in the last photo look really out of place?

What's the standard of the Cornish side? Anything on Somerset?

Langeveldt why not try entering for this?

Slightly worse than Devon, which makes them around part with a Somerset II/Somerset CB side.

I will do, thanks a lot for the link mate!

I didn't get through to the finals of the MCC Young Sports Photographer, which was a bit of a setback.. But I've spent most of the winter upgrading my equipment and want to give it another shot next year.. guess I just have to keep ploughing on, going to games where not even a man and a dog are present, and its cold enough to freeze hell!
