Nope The whole point of the hundred was to get a lot of games on free-to-air tv and it was widely reported (and further confirmed by bbc spokesman) that they were having a large say in the rules. BBC want to cram games into 2 hour slots so told the ECB that they would recommend a 10 ball over to speed things up. For once, Sky are blameless, BBC have been a ******* nightmare in this process. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted June 17, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Anyone seen the crazy catch in the Essex game today? The batsman edges the ball to the wicketkeeper, be fumbles the ball just before the ball hits the ground he kicks the ball into the air and a fielder runs in and takes the catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens every single year and I don't think it has been the wettest year on record by any stretch. Maybe they should turn it into an aquatics centre and be done with it!

I understand your negative feelings about New Road, but it really is one of the most picturesque grounds in County Cricket; almost as pretty as The County Ground at Taunton . The entire ground staff have always been extremely friendly and accommodating whenever I have been there and it is just a short walk in to the town should there be a lengthy delay due to rain or whatever - plus no hassle going in and out of the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the race course just across the road gets flooded just as bad Am sure I am correct in saying that when this happens it does drain away VERY quickly - am sure I read that once before this happened they were back playing there 23 days later?

It does. My lad was art college in Worcester and the cricket square was frequently flooded being right alongside the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back I watched Somerset up there in a T20 match, it started raining during the last over of the match . By the time we got to the pub just across the bridge the roads were flooded, sadly as it was so wet and flooded we were forced to stay in the pub and get a later train home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 On another note... I have memories of watching Somerset play a Sunday match against Clevedon cricket club at their ground on Dial Hill in the 60's? I think Somerset had the likes of Brian Langford, Fred Rumsey, a very young Peter Denning and maybe Bill Alley still playing in the team. I assume this was a one off "charity/community match."? Anyone else remember this? Do Somerset have time for these matches now with so many different competitions running during the season?

Dogbert Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I do think winning is too big an ask, at this point I'd be happy enough if a few batsman manage to really dig in and we get to 200ish. Looking at the in play odds though, Essex 1/2, Somerset 13/8, Draw 28/1 so it would appear others have a lot more faith than I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
