THE NEW SEASON AND

CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE- -IT WILL BE SURREY

D YORKSHIRE AGAIN

AND

Says BRUCE DOOLAND

I would like to be able to suggest a real dark horse for the County Championship this year-Nottingham or Leicestershire or Hampshire, for instance but in all honesty I can't.

As I see the line-up the two best runners must be Surrey, who have held it five consecutive times now, and Yorkshire. I expect some lively cricket from Middle- sex, who now. have quite a few good youngsters coming on, and, if things would just "click" for the talent they have, some strong challenging cricket from Northampton- shire.

In my 21 years in first chi cricket the two most disturbing features have been the excessive grimness that has developed in Test cricket and the Increased tendency of bowling to switch from the off-side to the leg side of the wicket.
