Willow & leather

What indicates the start of summer? The migratory birds flocking back, sightings of bumble bees and ladybirds? The first wafts of BBQ smoke? No, all wrong.

It's the start of the cricket season!! HURRAH!

First match of the season as always is the county champions Nottinghamshire against an MCC XI at Lord's. Rain delayed the start of course but we're up and running.

England have Sri Lanka and then Pakistan touring and though I think we will struggle in the one day matches, in the proper game we should win both series, though going unbeaten is probably too much to ask for.

A cornucopia of sport is approaching fast. There is still everything to play for at the top of the Premiership, the World Cup is barely 2 months away, two cricket tours; sit back, crack open a beer and enjoy it.
