Poll results

Over half of respondents think that our best chance of success this season lies in the Championship. As long as it stops raining, you may just be right.

For what its worth, I have a sneaking fancy for a run in the FP Trophy. I think we're in a group that could see us do well and if the batting fires (and Chris Rogers gets his visa sometime before July) we have a decent side and an even better chance.

Glamorgan, Essex, Northants and Lancashire - yeah, we could take them on our day. I was surprised to see Matt Maynard saying that Robert Croft may not be a part of their one day side, or words to that effect, due to his level of fitness. OK, he's not a lithe laddie, but come on - he's their best bowler and only takes four paces! If he doesn't play there'll be rejoicing in our dressing room as over recent seasons we've made him look like Jim Laker and Muralitharan combined.

Lancashire are in transition, Northants blow hot and cold. Essex are a fine one day side, but without Napier and Bopara not quite what they might be.

So to this week's poll - who of our new signings (NOT Stuart Law) do you expect to make the biggest impact?

I look forward to seeing your opinions. See you tomorrow.
