James Buttler of the Cricket Badger Podcast picks his 2025 County Championship winners.
The clocks have sprung forward, the sun has come out and the cricket season starts on Friday with the County Championship getting underway.
I've only got one bet for you and it's only 5/4, but Surrey should retain the County Championship title. They are the best team by a mile. Somerset could push them close and I think Yorkshire are probably better than the 18/1 price that the bookies have for them.
Surrey are the best team in the country. Loads of very, very talented county players down there at the Oval. They've won the title for the last three seasons and I expect them to do it again in 2025. it's a long time maybe to wait for a 5/4 shot to come in. But it's a solid five to four. Over the course of a season, the best team wins and Surrey are the best team.
There are far worse things you can do with a summer's day than sit at your local county ground, drink something nice and cold, have some friendly conversation and watch the county championship cricket. Support your local counties, please. And if you fancy a bet this summer - 5/4 Surrey to win the title.
Please always gamble responsibly.
