2016 fixtures released this morning - that's summer 2016 sorted out 

Somerset fixtures http://www.somersetcountycc.co.uk/fixtures-results/first-xi/  note the home matches have incorrect start times - should read 10:30 / 17:30

Gloucester fixtures http://www.gloscricket.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Gloucestershire-Cricket-2016-Fixtures.pdf

 

Thanks for posting the Worcestershire fixtures, Phants!

Cater for all, or cater for none ;)

What's the view on this new thing they're trying with the toss, where the visiting captain is offered the opportunity to bowl first if he wants? In theory it's a decent idea, with the aim of improving the chances of us producing Test quality spinners. However they've then scheduled 6 of the 16 Championship games before May ends and another 4 in September. So that leaves a grand total of 6 games in the height of summer, great planning....

For all you lesser counties :whistle:

Gutted we are not playing up your way this season - always a great day out in Worcester, at a really nice little ground

Thank you, kind sir!

The new ground looks really nice, haven't managed a day up there since the rebuild

Had to laugh at these scorecards

Is this the most one sided match ever ? http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/545575.html

How often would a side be all out for 31 in their first innings but still win a fixture ? http://www.espncricinfo.com/premier-league-tournament-2014-15/engine/match/859469.html

Told over Xmas that this deal is 100% off now - shame

Shame he would have been quality. 

Should try and get AB de Villiers or Quinton de Kock imo both guys who would be impressive in T20 and could keep for us being an area where we could improve.

Sad to see Tres go but somtimes his captancy was frustrating. Slightly bemused we've got Rodgers coming straight in and taking that on and Allenby doing the 1 day stuff.  Do the likes of Hildy not want it?

Agree that hopefully it was probably time for a change - would also assume this may be the start of the end of Tres?

I'd hope getting Rogers over didn't involve him being promised the captaincy!

No problem with Allenby in the shorter form, but agree that it's interesting Hildreth not mentioned

Probably is time for Tres to step aside. His batting`s been suffering lately and I think that`s part of it (think Hashim Amla). also, I can see him missing more games as he gets older so that might be why too. He`s also getting his feet under the table quite nicely at Sky.

Somerset to make an announcement at noon tomorrow...... 

They're making quite a big deal about this one. If it were Bristol City it would be us announcing that season ticket holders can get £3 off calendars in the club shop. 

Henry Gayle for another few games next year?

I did wonder about Butler but we did sign that lad from Kent. Also the stories of how Butler was treated at the end (stuff like the club ringing his mum and saying would you like all his photos as they are in the skip) makes me then it would take a few heads at the top to move on first 

Surely those stories are bullshit? Pathetic if true.

 

Kane Williamson has signed for Yorkies this morning.
