ExiledAjax Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Abell gone lbw to Maharaj. Is getting all out for 199 in the first innings when you were doing so well to recover the most Somerset thing to have happened?

Having said that, if we match their result this week and beat them on the final day, we should win regardless of the batting points situation.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 200 ao. That bonus point could be crucial in the final reckoning- hope the wicket has a certain amount in it, we were 97/2 not long after lunch so that to 188/9 was a bit of a fall!

Mid order collapse followed by a bit of a recovery, but disappointing but, as Sir Geoffrey Boycott once said, "you don't know how good a score is on any pitch until both sides have batted"!

Coppello Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Great day in the context of Essex too with them struggling at Edgbaston and Warwickshire finishing the day with seven wickets in hand. If they could bat out 60% of tomorrow they could almost eradicate the chance of Essex winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculus Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Interesting day at Taunton. Difficult conditions to start with - very overcast and the ball doing a bit with a slow outfield due to yesterday's rain. Yorkshire put Somerset in, so that's a bit of a clue. The dark clouds went, the outfield started to dry and batting became a bit easier. Worth noting that Maharaj, Yorkshire's spinner, bowled one third of their overs and took 5 wickets. The day finished with Somerset operating with spinners at each end. (Bess and Van De Merwe). Mark my words - if Yorkshire are left with 200 to get in the 4th innings then they're in trouble. This match could go either way - but Somerset need a decent day tomorrow. With Essex looking to be struggling to win vs Warks this could be a very good week for Somerset. My money and hopes are still firmly on Somerset for the title (and this from a long-standing Yorkshire cricket supporter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, definitely yes. All Yorkshire really care about is the County Championship. Must admit to being surprised the way they started their innings - very quick scoring, look to max their batting points and force a win. All a bit gungh-go though.

Calculus Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Yorkshire 92-6. Ball helping both spinners and seamers alike.
