Paul Baker will be part of a three-pronged spin-attack as Hadleigh, well beaten by Ilford on opening day, look to get their season up and running at Hainult tomorrow.

He took 5-39 for the seconds last week to prove his fitness after knee trouble and will be itching to get amongst the Premier Division wickets.

And former Indian Test batsman Devang Ghandi, Hadleigh's star man, is looking to be in the runs now he is settled back in Essex.

"We need to get back on track after only getting one point last week," said club spokesman Jon Wagstaff.

"It's early days but the result at Ilford leaves us near the bottom and we're looking to make ammends at Hainult."
