(BTW, I've always wondered why you just don't call it the Somerset County Cricket thread and be done with it?) Oh, and it weren't me commenting, to be honest I've never been on that site.....didn't even know one existed ! Most on here seem to be somerset supporters so i guess they will get discussed more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Going to be good to see some young talent in this competition, I believe Rew was called into the county select XI squad to face India Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel a little bad for Byrom, was initially picked up by the Manchester team for the 16.4 and then ditched in favour of Lammonby essentially. Won't be a big earner from his county contract probably so the hundred dollar probably would have been useful for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Graham Gooch called us Minor Counties (West), until we abslutely thrashed them in the 50 (maybe 55) limited overs knockout game at Arch deacon Meadows ! He took some stick that day ! On the other hand, I remember us getting knocked out at Bristol by Combined Universities under the captaincy of one M Atherton ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just put the Glamorgan stream on as it looks like it'll be a tight finish and I can see why people were complaining about it during the Somerset game the other night. Jerking and stuttering to the point of being unwatchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Anyone who watched it all know if Goldsworthy picked up an injury? Would be strange he didn’t bowl at all and Byrom had a few overs. at least for the actual 50 over we get Hildreth, Brooks, Davies etc back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 I was just peeping to see if anyone has started a 100 thread, thankfully no. I did have a quick look and had a laugh when they said it’s a simplified form of cricket so young people can understand, the next 5 minutes of commentary none of them seemed to have a clue what was happening…..including me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will be next - touch downs instead of trys in rugby? We had a discussion last week on the forum about colourblind friendly sport. This. This is really, really not it. In fact it's possibly the best way to make a TV show about as unwelcoming to the colourblind as you can. As if this Hundred muck couldn't get any worse. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here's Benny Stokes, from the locker-room end, steaming towards the creaseline for the 3rd chuck of his first five, Joey Root swings his hitboard...and MISSES! It goes past him and backstop Buttler slam-dunks the ball into the gate, sending the sticks flying. Joey's out of his area, the referee flags and, gee-whillikers, Joey-boy is sent off, with only 7 in-betweens to his name. York-Shire Pigiron are up against the wall now with 3 down to 24 in-betweens. And now a word from our sponsors. Nuts (Honestly, the sponsors are nuts) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 The feature on the BBC live text page that lets you give a thumbs up or thumbs down to each post stopped working during the game earlier. I'm sure it was a genuine technical hitch and absolutely nothing to do with the fact that almost every post was getting heavily downvoted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
