'Good to be back at Somerset' says Jamie
Richard Walsh - 18 April 2002

Somerset captain Jamie Cox was back at the County Ground earlier today just a few hours after he landed back in England with his new wife Helen and six-month-old son Lachlan.

Jamie landed at Heathrow this morning just before 6am after a flight from Australia, and was back at Taunton just after nine to pick up the keys to his new house for the summer.

As he stood outside the pavilion with Chief Executive Peter Anderson he told me: "It's good to be back at Somerset, it's a bit chilly after Tasmania, but hopefully I'll have brought the sunshine with me."

What were his immediate plans, I asked. Jamie told me: "I'm going back to the house now where we are going to live. I'll have 24 hours to catch up and then I'll be back in at the ground for nets on Friday morning with the rest of the team."

Meanwhile Somerset fans will be able to hear Peter Anderson on Radio Five Live between 8 and 10 pm where he will be taking part in a debate on county cricket.
