PHILINFRANCE Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) George Bartlett scored a Century when we beat Glos last year; today would prove timely if he can repeat it. In other news; Essex now 77/8! I am pleased Durham appear to be improving this season after the deal they were dealt by the powers that rule English cricket. Sorry George . Does anybody know why the stream appears to be only showing from behind the wicketkeeper, rather than behing the bowler's arm?

Only every other over on my stream; they show the start of the bowler's run up, then go behind the wicketkeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 I've noticed today that if the BBC live text page has a post on how well a batsman is going or a partnership is building in any of the games, it will be almost instantly followed by said batsman getting out, or partnership being broken.

ralphindevon Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Can’t believe we’re not allowed in when you see other groups outside enjoying themselves. Mind you, I reckon there would be a big crowd in normal times. Honours even, should be a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even part-timers like me are itching to get down to Taunton! Was looking at ticket prices earlier, £32 to watch a T20 game mind?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 So, I checked in to catch up on today's match and David Hopps didn't let me down : Dystopian science-fiction novels have never been shy of depicting an isolated and fearful society in which debilitated human beings become over-reliant on technology and are force-fed propaganda in a sad and meaningless existence.

Can't help but think we could've had them out for around 200 if we had a decent spinner to get rid of their long tail. We bowled well, though. I thought the young lad, Goodman, did a decent job and was unlucky with a few decisions going against him. Somerset have a competitive total on the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Just looking at the BBC website cricket tables. Hants - 1 win, 5 batting, 3 bowling - 24 points. Glos - 1 win, 3 batting, 3 bowling - 22 points. Somerset - 1 win, 0 batting, 3 bowling - 11 points! Shouldn't this be 19 points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good start today up to lunch, then 5 wickets fall between lunch and tea, then nearly 100 for 1 after tea. Against Surrey they had similar performance drops in the afternoon. Just an observation really. Edited April 16, 2021 by Port Said Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation really. The pendulum swinging back and forth is the beauty of four-day cricket, IMO. These look like two evenly-matched teams. Brathwaite looked classy, Dent picked up where he left off and Bracey is taking his game to the next level. Hankins is a concern, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
