The sun has been shining, the batsmen have been making hay and the county cricket season is in full swing.

This month we bring you an update from the first 4 rounds of the season, we call out a county XI to watch out for when it comes to England selection, and the crew reflect our predictions from the start of the year.

And in a sign of our increasingly desperate search for a niche, there’s also a delve into the depths of the minor counties, and Crabby brings you an interesting stat from a 19th century somerset farmer who once bowled for England.

And also this week Jonny Hilliard is taking a break from the podcast, so Jake has his wish. He’ll be back next time though. We think.
