The summer weather has not lived up to expectations. Who mentioned climate change? England have continued to make great progress in Test matches but their performances in One Day Internationals still leaves a lot to be desired. The difficult tour to South Africa this winter will be good preparation for next year’s Ashes series. Is the Aussie team growing old together or will they come up with some interesting replacements? Perhaps there are a few playing in the Championship this summer!! At the time of writing Worcester are struggling. After a reasonable start, relegation is on the cards in the Championship, whilst promotion in the Totesport League is in the balance.

We have been deprived of the cricket we would normally read about in the July edition. Two things came to the rescue. The first has nothing to do with ‘lockdown’. It lies in the fact that this year sees the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Southern Group, so we have taken the chance to reflect on this. The second, and less expected factor influencing this issue, however, is probably directly related to lockdown.
