With Yorkshire having despatched MCC inside three days and Adam Lyth reinforced his already strong claims to be the next England debutant opener the first class season can tick off its first match. After a slight pause the season continues next Thursday with six matches, designated first class and featuring the six university sides entitled to put the letters MCCU after their names. These are all against county opposition and are as follows
Cambridge* v Northants at Fenner's
Glamorgan v Cardiff* at Cardiff
Hants v Loughborough* at The Ageas Bowl
Oxford* v Worcestershire at The Parks
Somerset v Durham* at Taunton
Sussex v Leeds/Bradford* at Hove
Sadly for Northern pcws nothing further north than Cambridge but given reports of snow in Harrogate this morning perhaps I should lay this grizzle of mine to rest for a while. A friend from Sussex telephoned yesterday to tell me that 'they say' we will have to wait until July for summer this year which seemed at odds with a forecast for cracked flags in Huddersfield over Easter that was made at the Thoroughbreds lunch on Tuesday.
