Reflections from Taunton


Last week, I spent a couple of days in the Press Box at Taunton when Warwickshire were playing Somerset.
I wasn't there for the last day when there was an exciting finish - yes, in  cricket, a draw can be exciting.
Watching the two teams battling it out caused me to have some thoughts about the different ways they are run off the field.
Deep Extra Cover were sufficiently interested in my thoughts to publish them -see:

Although I said at the end of the article that I wasn't passing any judgments, I guess the truth is that I am concerned about the rather abrasive style of management at Edgbaston compared with the more friendly style down at Taunton.
Maybe if I owed £20 million I might be a bit abrasive but when you're that much in debt, it's best to adopt a style that makes you friends rather than enemies.
Anyway, I wish both teams success on the pitch this season - and plenty of sunshine.
