Vipers is an unusual one, and a Thunder/Lightning rivalry already looks likely.

I'll probably try and go to a few of the Western's games, Bristol and Taunton are both relatively accessible for me and it'd be a reasonable step in my ongoing attempts to get my girlfriend to like cricket (annoyingly, both her parents love the game but didn't manage to pass it on)

Hoping it'll be a success, it's a good move.

In other county news, Notts will be without Peter Siddle for the season due to a stress fracture in his back, bit of a blow. Could be quite worrying for Siddle's future career in general.

Did anyone notice there's a Roses match on? In Dubai?

No, me neither. But there is:

www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/977809.html

Yorkshire 313-"6" with three retired outs, and Lancashire using nine different bowlers. It must be early in pre-season.

Balladeer: Happy new year and Christmas and all that to all. (Sorry - again, I mostly browse on mobile, so didn't see your earlier wishes!) Dec 31, 2020 8:55:05 GMT

pierredelafranchesca: Gale and Pyrah to support Lions as coaches.....OK, i mean Gale has been shit for Yorks and is potentially neck deep in this racism case, but sure why not. In fact, keep the useless prick. Dec 1, 2020 14:52:55 GMT

Balladeer: Definitely needed to be a thread. I came up with one of the same answers as you because I can't see the chatbox on mobile.
