SOMERSET skipper Mike Burns is optimistic about the county's prospects for this summer.
"We want to improve upon our performances last season and play a lot better in 2004," he said.
"We will be looking to get to the point at the end of the season where we can win some trophies. Hopefully this year will be injury free for us all and with Ricky Ponting joining us lets hope that there will be plenty for all of us to cheer about in 2004."
Meanwhile former Somerset all rounder Pete Trego (22), who joined Kent for the 2003 season, has left the county by mutual consent with a year of his contract still to run.
