I know it’s a dank, dark, damp morning at the end of January.

But there are better days ahead. Days of sunshine, quiet contentment and the return of the County Championship. And there are only 72 days to go.

Only 73 days until the start of the County Championship, the return of domestic cricket, days in the garden listening to TMS, watching on the livestreams, pootling along to the local cricket club and day trips to the county grounds.

The countdown is creeping down slowly, oh so slowly - like Chris Tavaré accumulating runs.

Whilst not wishing to wish my life away, I’m longing for Spring, the thwack of leather on willow, the smell of cut grass, warm sun on my face and the quiet sense that all is well.

I’m beginning to get excited by my own stupid countdown.

It’s only 78 days until the start of the cricket season and I can’t wait to be back at the Oval watching county cricket with these two.

I couldn’t be more delighted that they seem to appreciate it on its own merits.
