Am I having a senior moment, I thought we signed some overseas player for the end of the season?

Some Pakistani player with a famous relative ?, unless you are referring to the young Scotsman, although I don’t think he would be classed as ‘Overseas’.

Seriously, though, I don’t think he starts until September, when The Championship restarts after the 100 farce.

In addition, and I haven’t checked, he may be playing currently against Sri Lanka.

Somerset must get this 4th batting point, 26 needed in the next 6 overs.

We all know how vital a point can be come the end of the season 

Oh well doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

At the start of the day I thought 5 points was on, if not definitely 4. Disappointing not to get the 4th with so few wickets down for most of the day. I guess the Abell situation didn’t help.

No, he’s quite happy with the old ones, in fact he’d like to keep them exactly as they are with no work done on them for the next few years………of course with no chance of any punishment from the ECB

They can keep this one for him! ?

Going off topic. There are God knows how many competitions in cricket now with players moving between teams. In the olden days ? each county would have a squad which would basically play all the competitions, more than often with the same team. Now we have Brooks playing for us in T20 but against us in county games. Don't mention the bloody 1** abomination where all the "star" players are drafted into 3 or 4 elite teams.

Can anyone imagine the same in football where there was a team for league games, other players loaned in for carabao games and a player draft  for FA cup games?

I wondered a few weeks back which club a player actually belongs to now?

Or does that simply not happen anymore?
