FAKE 2020 CC1 Opener v Kent at Taunton
Yes I know.... It isn't happening and this is just daft - but it is what it is and if you aren't into it then don't bother to go any further than this. However, I came home for cricket and this presently is the nearest I get to it and it has its interest. So I'll set the scene and take you through Day 1 of a parallel universe Somerset 2020 CC1 season or not.... your choice entirely

ROKiT Williams should be included in race strategy
For the ROKiT Willaims Team pre-season testing had produced mixed feelings amongst the staff at Williams with various comments been made by the likes of George Russell saying that despite the improvements in the FW43 they would still be the slowest car in the field even if the gap to those in front would be significantly reduced. But now we are seeing comments coming from outside the team in particular those made recently by McLaren driver Lando Norris. For Norris he has expressed his belief that one of the front running midfield teams McLaren will need to include Williams in its strategy decisions for those races of the 2020 season.
OUR FAVOURITE GAMES # 8 DOUBLE SCOTCH! 13.5.17
In conjunction with the club who plan to livestream this match at 5.00pm tomorrow (saturday), here is the story of that fabulous weekend in Edinburgh when Saracens took on Clermont in the 2017 European Final.
ASM CLERMONT AUVERGNE v SARACENS, European Champions Cup Final, Sat 13th May 2017, Murrayfield I am not by nature superstitious, however when it comes to something like a European final, it’s not unnatural to check the omens are favourable. And it was looking good. An uneventful journey on Friday night to our hotel in Peebles, a French Team beat an English one in the Challenge Cup (sorry Gloucester), a Curlew seen out of the car window within 5 minutes of me saying “we’re in Curlew country”, it was raining and best of all a fabulous little Dipper outside my bedroom window on Saturday morning. It felt as if the Gods were smiling on us.

Diary of a madman Part 3. (A leap into the future)
The year is 2100, a small space voyager follows the same path as ye old 19:40 hrs Ryanair from Malaga’s flightline, sideways as usual as the stiff wind vortex emanating from the roaring crowd noise of Emerald Headingley knocks it slightly off course and it heads sideways into Leeds and Bradford international space centre.
what are you all doing without rugby - or going outside
wondering what everyone is doing without the rugby and being in lockdown. Should have a vitual rugby match, as they are running the grand nationsl virtually this weekend, all bets placed going to charity. For me, working at Derriford, strangely empty buses and no visitors make the Hospital a very strange place to go each day. being classed as a key essential worker was a bit surprising, but I do have a lettter to say so ;) At the moment I am distancing myself from my 'other half' (the loud one), due to my job, my hearing is surprisingly recovering, so one bonus coming out of all this.

Claire Williams: F1 needs to address team alliances
The Williams F1 team has had a long history of been an independent team with the majority of the teams design and manufacturing been done in-house. But in the last few years there has been a move by several other teams to enter into collaborations with other teams such as the relationship that has developed between Ferrari and Haas and Alfa Romeo. Williams Deputy Team Principal, Claire Williams, has spoken of her dissatisfaction with these relationships saying that she is “not particularly happy” with what has become in her view a two-tier system. She believes that this is having an impact on the level of competition that exists in Formula One.

India Start Next Phase of Test Championship as Favorites
India are clear favorites as they take on New Zealand in the first Test at the Basin Reserve. However the rumor is that the wicket will be a flattie, and will be hard work for the bowling units of both teams. What a difference from the bouncy green "Wonderbra" wickets that New Zealand used to routinely prepare for Indian Tests in the past. The quality of the Indian quicks makes that a very risky proposition and so the Home board has understandably gone away for those type of wickets...
