So.the County Championship cricket season is upon us. Some teams will be little affected by international.call-ups so should be able to.put out their strongest sides. I hate to.say it but if Essex can have access to.Harmer to.support their seam.attack, they look good to.win the title again. Unless they are deducted points for underprepared pitches., such as the oñe at Chelmsford against Lancashire.
 
What has Tom Prest got to do to get into the Championship team?! Fletcha Middleton has now usurped him, I hope he scores a big ton though obviously! Perhaps they've finally given up on the Weatherley at the top of the order experiment, be interesting to see if that is indeed the order with Holland back down in the typical all-rounder's spot.
