It was the kind of day any team would have wanted to begin a season with.
You name four seamers in the eleven, win the toss, send the opposition in on a green-top, bowl them out cheaply and then overtake the first-innings score without losing a wicket well before the stumps are drawn.
Could the day have been even better? It could, if you have a 17-year-old take a wicket with his first ball in senior cricket — and go on to claim three more — and if your 23-year-old opener makes a lovely hundred in only his second First Class match.
