NEW Middlesex coach Toby Radford wants his side to make an instant impact in their quest for promotion in the County Championship, writes Patrick Mooney.
The Lord's outfit just missed out on promotion to the top flight last season but had the consolation of going up in the one-day Pro40 competition.
"We've got to hit the season running," Radford told Wood&Vale Sport. "Let's not wait until half-way through the season, let's play from day one.
"Our main aspiration this season is promotion in the County Championship. We feel that Middlesex being a big London club should be in the first division."
