A week to go.

Is this a season where TRJ doesn't play a game, or one where he takes a ton of wickets?

questions, questions, Arthur

Is Rushworth a busted flush or will his Warky move reinvigorate him? Was it just the current lifeless pitch at the Riverside that sucked the life out of him?

And what to do about Darren Stevens.

will Liam Norwell stay fit and fill his boots

can Ed Barnard take div 2 form with him to a higher level?

Will any of the 47,000 Surrey players ever get a run of 3 games before being rotated out?

Will Overton C play a full season for Somerset?

at least that isn't a problem any more

He's retired? Looked him up on wiki but didn't say.

he may not have retired, but he was released by Kent and no county has taken a punt afaik

Not sure if I'll get round to this.
