It’s been a bit of an entertaining and crazy start to the county championship so far this season, Somerset struggling, Warwickshire’s batsmen scoring runs, summer weather in April, etc.
This week a bit of normality appeared to be returning to proceedings. Marcus Trescothick is back in the runs with a double ton (227), Surrey getting hammered and Warwickshire’s batting collapsing again, then I seen this headline – Bopara ton leads Essex victory – and I realised that after all we are still in silly season.
