Somerset are playing a pre-season friendly against Ireland today, over four days. That's a proper pre-season game, none of this two days out then back in rubbish.

By getting taken apart by Trescothick? He looks in good form, hitting the ball well.

Nearly 400 people watching this on the livestream. I'm quite impressed.

That was limp Steve. Limp.
On the other hand, Baz McCaz has looked by far the most threatening bowler. Any idea what he bowls at? Surely not the military medium he’s down as?

I would say that he bowls around 83/84 mph.

Nothing is a more reassuring sign of the start of a new county cricket season than a James Hildreth innings being described as a "beautiful cameo"

A thought, from the England Summer discussion - in your opinion, who are the best fit a) left-arm seam b) bouncy c) genuinely fast and d) line-and-length bowlers in the Championship?
I'm coming up with a) Barker (Footitt when fit), b) TRJ, c) Meaker, d) COverton... but that's from scant knowledge. All I know is that Durham doesn't have any of them.
