Dogbert Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Just now, Dogbert said: So what is the Somerset plan from here? Maybe accelerate towards trying to declare at 500 mid afternoon, perhaps 10 overs bowling at them before tea? Commentators on feed just said exactly that moments after I typed it.

Super Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Anyone think Abell still might still have a chance of an England call up or has he missed the boat now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 134-1 that session. Get them in just before tea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Somerset have got to be looking at 600+ and batting once. Whether they can take 20 wickets on this pitch remains to be seen. They won’t have a better chance against this week’s side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 500 up for Somerset Glos v Som 507-5 Like the last game at Bristol, the wicket is increasingly resembling a portion of the M32. In fact, the bend near junction two might provide more assistance for the bowlers than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 All 4 teams batting first in D1 have gone over 500 which can't have happened too often. 3 of them were put in by the opposition as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just got that ilk about them.. Only my personal evidence from today, but have only overheard conversations about City (from 'Set fans obviously) bit on Man City and Liverpool and that's it.

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Picking away at them, not allowing any partnerships to get really going. Get another two by the close and we`ll win this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s got a huge chance of being picked. A level headed chap with an abundance of talent. Personally I think being given the captaincy set his own form back a bit but now he’s firing on all cylinders. I think his technique, especially his defence which is more important in tests, is better than many that have had a chance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did speak to a 'Set insider of sorts today though, and asked him if Abell might be in for an England call-up this summer, and his very specific answer was "no". But new Head coach, not sure how that could be definitive at this stage, but he was adamant Abell was not fancied by England at all. Very mature innings today though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a selfish note I hope he isn’t picked, I would rather he scored runs for Somerset. But I think he deserves a go and as you say there’s a new regime and I doubt even they know how the summer is going to pan out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounded as if he might have been an ex-Rovers player. He certainly sounded as if he was a Rovers supporter . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he’d be a great replacement for Morgan in limited overs when he wants to give it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I didn't see the end of play last night, but I have just seen enough in the first 15 minutes this morning to convince me that Bethell will play for England sooner rather than later.

Don't worry, he's apparently back on now. Gregory saying that you needn't have bothered - he has just knocked out Zak Chappell's middle stump with an excellent delivery. Glos now 8, effectively 9, down if GvB is unable to bat - Jack L has just got Bethell LBW. Edited May 14, 2022 by PHILINFRANCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
