THE PREDICTION
After coming within a wicket of lifting their first County Championship since 1973, James Vince’s men are back in action and among the favourites to go all the way this time in Division One. In Somerset, they face the perennial bridesmaids who are still yet to win the famous trophy. The Cidermen have their work cut out for them at the Ageas Bowl, especially their batting unit who have historically proven Somerset’s Achilles heel and here will be facing up to the likes of Kyle Abbott and Mohammad Abbas, whilst Mason Crane and Liam Dawson both provide spin-bowling options. Vince provides a touch of class with the bat and in new signing Ben Brown, Hampshire have acquired a serial run-scorer in English red ball cricket, not to mention a safe pair of hands with the gloves. When also factoring in home advantage being in Hampshire favour, them getting off to a winning start has to be favoured.
