Sunday dawned bright and warm. What a spring it has been. Memories of playing in the snow at Peper Harrow were long forgotten. Several players were seen reaching for the sunscreen. Was this to be the year when everything changed for the better? No early season wash-out. Tim wouldn't be involved in any more unnecessary runouts. We'd take our catches. Harry wouldn't get out straight after hitting a monstrous 6. Jonathan would turn up on time. We'd wean ourselves of our reliance on the batting rock that has been Chris Healey for as long as anyone can remember.
