Mr Popodopolous Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Kent v Essex is a big one too. If that's an Essex win and rain has currently stopped play at Kent then what with bonus points m that gap falls by 10 or 11 pts as I didn't realise it is 8 for a draw these days. Whereas if it's a draw at each, a few points but no great difference. Edited September 8, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 All this maybe in vain anyway. From what I've seen of the Strauss report, there'll be a top division of 6 next season with 2 feeder divisions of 6 below. If that's the case we're pretty much stuck outside tge top 6 so it won't make any difference where we finish after that. And with just the top 2 teams from the feeder divisions playing off for promotion it'll be hard to get back in the top flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Well the table certainly looks better for Somerset than some of us were imagining a couple days ago. We are realistically 7th. Avoid defeat in our 2 away games and win our home game and we’ll avoid relegation……….if relegation is what’s on offer. Up our game and win a couple and, the what could be magical, 6th place isn’t out of the question. All this would involve a big improvement but with Overton back and the bad performance behind us, we are capable of much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there’s no room to play any more without going into October and as the weather’s already broken, seems unlikely. If we don’t play next week everyone will have to play one game short I guess.

Northern Red Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 I can't see next week's games being affected. If, as rumoured, the funeral is a week on Monday then there'll be no play on that day, presumably just starting a day later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Not having Overton fit is a huge blow, we even bat better when he plays. Ironically although we were saved by the rain against Glos our top order could have really used the batting practice.

ralphindevon Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 I'm on holiday so only picking bits up now and again. Last night they were saying Lewis Gregory had injured his knee and maybe wouldn't bat, today he's been bowling. I saw the last 10 overs of our innings and thought Sajid batted well, hopefully he can pick up a string of wickets now and stop them getting a lead.

ralphindevon Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 It’s looking like one of those end of season worn pitches that look hard to take wickets or score runs on. Im not sure what’s a decent score now, hopefully Sajid Khan will have an enjoyable day 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we manage to put 100ish on last session we'll be set up nicely tomorrow. Certainly better outlook than end of day 2 Yes I was thinking 100 or thereabouts in the final session would be nice. As you say, safety, making sure we don’t lose is priority. But mentally, batting on day 4 isn’t always easy and Warwickshire haven’t been in much form this season. Looking not bad at all at tea.
