Surrey head coach Gareth Batty detects what he calls a “new hunger” in his squad following an “open and honest” winter re-set at the Kia Oval.
Batty, who coached Rory Burns’s team to County Championship titles in each of his first three years in the job, admits Surrey were too often not quite on their game as their bid for a fourth successive triumph came up just short last September.
“We had wonderful success for three years but whether we like it or not it is very difficult for any team, in any sport, to keep on winning all the time,” said Batty.
