Hoggard faces daunting captaincy challenge

This is post number 1001 on Cricket Burble by the way!

I worry for Matthew Hoggard's prospects after taking on the Leicestershire captaincy. Not only is there not a lot to work with after they struggled so badly last year, but I also wonder if he'll under bowl himself. Time will tell, but since I saw him putting his arm round Flintoff to console his captain and have a quiet word with him to pep him up in Adelaide in 2006, I've always wondered how Hoggard would do as skipper.

He can't do worse than last year so I suppose....
