    Look to be a batsman or two short if you ask me, that's what really held us back last season

    True. Westley had a poor season by his standards, hopefully he returns to form. 

    Can also add ten doeschate to the list of ageing all-rounders

    Essex whooping Hampshire by an innings within 2 days. We only just pipped 200 runs as well. Whilst the seamers made the most of the weather, it was Harmer who did the damage with a 10-fer

    The pitches are definitely being prepared for Harmer rather than the seamers.

    A massive loss to S Africa, when you consider their dearth of spin bowlers and their importance especially in white ball cricket these days.

    While I'm not a Somerset fan, I'm cheering them on to win the championship in Trescothick's near-certain final season, and that result does a lot to make it a more likely outcome. The only hitch is that Somerset have Chelmsford and Harmer next up. That said, Leach is more or less his equal...expect more low scores!

    Somerset look easily the best team at the moment, helped by a lack of injuries and no England call ups. Tresco is struggling a bit at the moment, he was dropped for their last game

    Simmering nicely at Chelmsford. Essex currently have a lead of about 250 and a couple of wickets left, including Wheatear. A typically low scoring game with a pitch set for Harmer, plus seamer friendly conditions. Porter and Beard tore through Somerset in the first innings. Still a gettable target under 300 but have to favour Essex surely now Harmer is likely to have more of a say. Opens up the division if we win.

    Notts are unbelievably pathetic this season, they were about 140-3 a few minutes ago!
