IT seems that one week everything's looking rosy and the next week it's doom and gloom again.

Surrey's loss to Leicestershire, which didn't even go to a fourth day, was bitterly disappointing.

Given the belief and determination they showed to turn things around at Northampton, I really felt good about Surrey's chances of turning over the Foxes.

But other than Jade Dernbach's outstanding performance with the ball, there weren't any real positives for Chris Adams to take out of the Leicester game.

If the Lions do poorly in the T20, the Surrey manager could well find himself under pressure, even though he's only 18 months into what he has always said is a five-year plan.

The T20 will set the tone for the rest of Surrey's season.

Obviously, the Lions could have made a better start to their campaign, But, as I wrote in last week's Hook Report, I am really surprised Surrey were 16-1 when the competition began.
