Does anyone know if this match is taking place?

Cant take too much from pre-season, but at least our front line seamers got a workout, Naijjar seems to be available (let's hope like Walter he gets some runs to provide options).

Yep a big year for *Nijjar*. Been around the 1st team for several years so needs to play more games this season.

I assumed that Noijjar had been spending more time on his studies and maybe this was part of his limited appearances and success in the past year.  However, yes it will be an important year for him - and the club as we could do with a proper spin 'foil' for Harmer rather than relying upon our part timers (who may have a good early season and become part of the Team England set-up...although reading this back to myself I feel there's more chance of Phoebe Cates dropping in for coffee).
