It’s nearly that time of year again – with the county season starting this week I visited the telegraph fantasy cricket website to see if they were running a fantasy cricket season again. I wasn’t greeted by much other than an image which gave a bit of info on the game, prizes and said to come back this Saturday, 18th April.

Despite losing interest throughout the season, its always fun at the start to pick a side but I’ll have to weigh up whether it’s worth the six quid entry it normally costs! There is a cricinfo fantasy game which I think is free so maybe I’ll give that one a go instead if it looks decent and I can get a few mates into a mini league.

Also, if you are looking for a small county cricket preview I found the opinions on the sky sports website quite interesting to read – head over there to see what Bumble, Athers et all think about the upcoming season here.
