Thoughts on day 1 of the County season

A couple of thoughts:

1. Monty: I hope things pick up from here - what a start!

2. Matthew Hoggard: I'll be happy to be proved wrong as I'm a big fan of Paul Nixon's whole-hearted endeavour and desire to do whatever's best for the team, but batting a guy with a first class average of 34 at 3 as a specialist batsmen worries me!

So amazing seasons coming up for Nixon and Panesar then....
