Wouldn't it be nice to have Somerset finally win the Championship over moneybags Hampshire and the rest of them? I think you guys can afford one defeat
I see Martin Saggers is one of the Umpires. Not just a former player but also a bowling coach at Kent too. Surprised for that reason by the appointment but I suppose cricket is different from say football in that respect. Can't imagine Mike Dean officiating at a Tranmere game for example!

That is a bit surprising if he is also coaching at Kent. I guess cricket is a bit different, and a "biased" umpire will quickly be kicked off the circuit anyway. Until recently of course, all the international umpires were from the host nation too!
How do tickets work for the tests, I often get home from work about 4, would it still be full price to get in then to watch the rest of the day?
You don't get returns like Wimbledon. If you're in the London area you may consider buying Day 5 tickets for The Oval or Lords if there are any left, as they are much cheaper. Oval refunds if no play, Lords doesn't.

Or, heaven forbid, county batsmen thinking they can play like Viv Richards when their natural level is more Keith Richard?
