Worcestershire get the ball rolling tomorrow with a trip to the south coast to face Hampshire. Despite only being reprieved from relegation two years ago thanks to Durham's financial penalty and dodging the drop by two points last summer, Hants have strengthened significantly during the winter, and signings like Hashim Amla and Sam Northeast together with Vince and Roussouw give them one of the strongest top-orders in the division.
The good news is that conditions will favour the Pears bowling attack big-time. Whether we'll get any actual cricket on Friday remains to be seen, but if Worcestershire can steer their way to a draw this weekend, it'd far from the worst start to the campaign.
