Curran & Plunkett probably carrying drinks. also a horrible toss we should have contested at least. We chose to bowl first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abell has got most calls right this season though. I do think it was more to do with missing Leach than the toss thou. Completely agree, at least looking at the Lions it would be a big shock if Leach was anywhere near that squad again for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 4 hours ago, TomF said: The only plus point is Essex have 3 out of the last 4 away from home so they can't create perfect pitches for Hammer and that one home game is against Surrey who won't be easy - and, of course, Surrey will most likely play that wily old spinner and great friend of Somerset, Mr Batty. Just got to keep it tight next three and then its in our hands somewhat. 4 hours ago, phantom said: Completely agree, at least looking at the Lions it would be a big shock if Leach was anywhere near that squad again for a while Jack Leach took three wickets in the second innings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished on 5 wickets before the Australia As declared. I'm pleased for him as if he carried on in a similar way to his first innings it would be pretty devastating.

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 If @TomF has a few minutes to spare, he might care to read the last two pages of the Yorks/Somerset thread on Grockles, where his old friend AGOD is demonstrating a rare pessimism, even by his standards, about Somerset's chances of winning the Championship, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than that I heard on commentary one of the days a suggestion that they may effectively give up- not in practice but give up in a meaningful sense, the Championship and focus largely on One Day and 20/20. Took a quick look and the 6 full seasons before this one, they've "won" the wooden spoon pretty often! Bottom of Division 2, 4 seasons out of 6. 6 down- into the tail now.

Lrrr Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 This seems like a really dumb rule 'If the scores are equal in a drawn match where play has taken place, the side batting in the fourth innings scores eight points plus any points scored in the first innings, and the opposing side scores five points plus any points scored in the first innings' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Credit, where credit's due. I thought they had thrown it away, but Well Done in the end - a 6 to win it with two balls left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Phew!! Wow that had its twists and turns- adds fun that way though. Logged out for superstition reasons as I noticed when I was logged in for a while earlier things were just drifting, no real wickets all a bit meh. I had nagging nervous doubts about 48 off 8 overs, especially with Abbas at one end- high quality international bowler. We're still alive though, promotion wise- that 2020 West Country derby prospect is alive...just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 5 down now, at 8 an over with three to go (140/5). Curious, as you say, that the last 5 overs are 27/4 at 5.4. Also of concern is that there is still no sign of Steve Davies - probably his last season here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
