The English season is underway, with two rounds of the County Championship completed - but results have been few and far between thanks to a combination of the weather and the ECB's decision to trial the use of the Kookaburra ball. On the latest edition of Switch Hit, Alan Gardner, Andrew Miller and Vithushan Ehantharajah were joined by Middlesex captain Toby Roland-Jones - whose side conceded totals of 620 for 3 and 552 for 6 in their first two games - to discuss whether county cricket can provide a natural habitat for the Kookaburra. Other topics included April run-scoring feats, the use of the heavy roller and spinners taking their chance with the Dukes ball on the sidelines.
