County Championship 2026

Another guy to keep an eye out for this round is Calvin Harrison at Northants. I am not sure if he's played on a few sandpits recently and its made him look good, but the established criticism of him in the past was the fact he doesn't spin the ball at all, but watching highlights of him bowling this year and the end of last year as far as I can see he is turning the ball miles. He did a Shane Warne trademark "bowled round the legs" to someone last week.

With a successful year last year, a bare cupboard and the fact he can also bat with a 100 first game, I'd imagine England will be watching

Just like twice v Sussex last week, Warwickshire's top order has been blown away for nowt again.

Turning on to see Simon Cook swinging one about 4 meters, 60/4 might feel closer to 600/4. Half the pitch is bright green....

Essex have Warwickshire 2 down early...not convinced about the team selection though with Harmer looking likely to bat 7 to squeeze Zaman Akhter into the side ...the batting lacks depth again this week

Mulder has had to go home, I believe

Feels like Harry Conway has made a good start to the season in div 2

Yes, said on comms that he returned to South Africa for personal reasons, but only temporarily.

I am not sure of the exact new rules on player substitutes, but if a player misses the start of a game for personal "life events", can they be subbed back into the game for this reason, or only subbed out for incidents that occur before?
