This looks about the best team we can field - I would definitely give Harte a go to give us some batting depth, and consign Poynter and Pringle to "squad players" for now. That this is our strongest team, with virtually everyone fit does worry me slightly - I did think we'd strengthen the squad a little bit more, but hopefully we'll defy expectations! Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the season, and that Colly isn't our leading wicket taker at the end of it....

Thats pretty much the line up I was thinking off. Markram Smith and even Steele to do any slow bowling that maybe needed and you have still got 4 seamers and Colly to bowl as well.The one worry with the bowling is it looks a bit pedestrian and lacks variety.
The worry with the batting for me is will they score enough 100s through the season to put big scores on the board. But would love to see Steele and Clark kick on again from last season.

might be all over by then. Kent will opt to bowl, skittle us early afternoon, lose 5 cheap wickets themselves before going on to bat until tea on Sat, have us 7 or 8 down by COP, then the rain won't matter on Sunday because they'll find the half hour needed to complete an innings defeat
welcome to the new season

You're not predicting a dibbly-dobbly 40something year old bowler from Kent is going to skittle our batting order? It's not as if we've got previous
