The new English season starts in less than 2 months. Post your hopes/predictions here!

As a Bear, I think that we will score plenty of runs in the 4 day format but may struggle to bowl sides out. I'd like to see us to build on the progress that we've made in the limited overs game under Giles.

I have high hopes for Woakes but I'd feel happier having another fast bowler in there.

I predict a solid if unspectacular season for the Bears.

What Mazrim said.

Hopes?

To actually see a days play without rain when England play the Aussies!

To see a full day without rain regardless of opposition surely Bazz?

Villasub, I suggest you Google 'Australian Cricket Family' as you'll need to join (it's free) if you want to get tickets - it'll be a ballot again so you need to have joined this and have an address Down Under.  Tickets on sale June/July I think.

The Aussies are getting paranoid about Poms buying up all the tickets.

Some good news for Afghanistan, who beat Ireland in the final of the qualifying event in Dubai to win entry into the ICC World Twenty20.

They also beat the USA on the way to the final.

I predict Yorkshire will field the most English born players amongst all the counties but their leading run scorer by a mile will be a South African and it won't be enough to prevent them being relegated.

Adil Rashid will have a loss of form ater being treated shabbily by England in the winter.

Derbyshire to flirt dangerously with promotion, only to let us all down at the last minute.  Again.

I can't see the Bears doing too well, we have no bowlers.

I could see how that would make things tricky.

Bears only hope is a decent run in the Twenty20... less likely without Trott. Is Maddy likely to be fit this time round?

You have to wonder wha the selectors are playing at. Forthcoming tests against Bangladesh would have been ideal for him.

Instead, some of the older heads they've selected for this will probably feature once and get nowhere near selection again.

Pointless.

Cheers for that Oz. I was hoping/aiming to get tickets through the Barmy Army - but they will only sell them as part of a package which would include accommodation. Unfortunately there isn't a "pikey backpacker in a dorm" option.

Its pathetic how we give the convicts as many tickets as they like while they try to limit ours. We should just refuse to play and keep the Ashes forever.
