I'll do my prospects for Yorkshire
How do you think your county will do in each major competition?
CCD1: Winners - I feel Yorkshire are creating something special. Going to be a lot tougher in defending the title, but I feel Yorkshire have enough in personnel to do it.
RLODC: Final - Yorkshire seem to progress by one phase in the one day game, so based on that I reckon a trip to Lords awaits.
T20: Finals Day - Although Yorkshire are going to be hampered with England call ups, we should have a full squad available for as many as four group matches whilst Rashid and Willey are set to miss three group games.
Who will be the key player and why?
In a sense, Yorkshire's typical XI are all key players in a sense. Whether it's Lees and Lyth opening, Leaning and Ballance in the middle order, Bresnan's all-round efforts, Brooks strike bowling, Patterson's dot bowling, Sidebottom's reliance.
Who will be top run scorer?
Tough question, so many batsmen to choose from but i'll go with Gary Ballance.
Who will be top wicket taker?
CC - Jack Brooks
RLODC: David Willey
T20: Adil Rashid
Which youngster will emerge?
Matt Fisher - already bowling mid 80mph before turning 18 years old and has done a job for Yorkshire in white ball cricket, a more than useful squad player.
Biggest weakness?
2nd spin option
Biggest Strengths?
Bowling department - With David Willey being on board along with Rhodes and Fisher displaying 1st XI credentials, Yorkshire can easily field two separate bowling attacks in any format.
Player you hope will do well?
Adam Lyth - after being discarded by England, I hope he bounces back and be in amongst the runs for Yorkshire.
