Matches against Somerset are always amongst the highlights of Gloucestershire’s season.
And the first meeting of the sides this year, in the Clydesdale Bank 40 at Taunton on 8 May, may be even spicier than normal, with pantomime villain Steve Kirby returning to Bristol for the first time since his departure from Gloucestershire at the end of last season.
When he said at the time that he still had dreams of playing for England, and that his chances of doing so would be improved by playing first division cricket with Somerset, we all laughed.
But someone thinks highly of him – he’s been included in the MCC team to face Champion County Nottinghamshire in the season’s curtain-raiser in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
