To savour...

Here are, according, to the ECB: "Twenty things to look out for during this year's Friends Provident T20."

I pass the list on so that you can print it out and tick the experiences off, one by one, as you enjoy them. Personally, I look forward with particularly great excitement to numbers 4, 8, 11 and 18.

1. The players: Many of the very best players in the world will be on display including members of England's victorious ICC World Twenty20 squad and some of the highest profile stars in world cricket.
2. The trophy: 151 games will determine which side goes home with the beautiful contemporary silver and gold trophy, specially designed to reflect the fast moving pace of Twenty20 cricket.
3. The Friends Provident mascot challenge: It starts earlier this year with county mascots doing time trials during the group stages. The time determines your mascot's start position on Friends Provident t20 Finals Day.
