How queer, a lift to Lanchashire..
This is the first draft of my journey. There are large gaps in the schedul due to 20/20 and Pr0 40, as I wanted to keep this all about first class cricket. By that, I mean four day championship cricket.
There are some teams I’d love to see more of, including my home county of Essex, but no, I get lumbered having to watch Middlesex 5 times in one season. The plus side to this, is that I get to see Iain O’Brien spangled on Sodium Diclofenac all over the country!

Is it going to be one of the last seasons where you could even try to do this without having to go abroad!??! I hope not, but the fuckers are out there with a vengeance!

Gotta cut out those typos, you’re not Jrod.
Seriously, I can’t get you into Trent Bridge, but my brother lives next door to the ground and would be happy to give you a couch for a night or two.

Editors, my friend, editors. I make miles less than the Australian boy usually, just out of practice!
Well that might work.. Let me see how I get on, and I’ll be in touch.

I’m going to be seeing a helluva lot of them. Plus side IOB, down side, bloody middlesex.

Started supporting them when I was writing about cricket for a job and we had to make county cricket more interesting. Can’t remember why I chose them…think it’s cause I got ripped off after first deciding to support Essex…something about being an Essex girl.

Oh and remember your Hitch Hikers GTTG tip from Ford Prefect – take a towel!

I’ve a sofa for any midlands based shenanigans, esp warks. It’s out in the rain and has a number of additional lifeforms on it but it is, by jove, a sofa nonetheless.

Chris, I may have to take you up on that offer! It’ll be no worse than the homeless sofa surfing I’m doing at present..

Good luck mate. Absolutely superb idea. Would love to help out too – but probably too far north to be useful…
