I’m probably as big a fan of Tom Abell as it’s possible to be, but even though he got a hundred I thought Bethell looked head and shoulders the best batsman in the game.

Nice to see Jack Leach (city fan) get the gas head Bracey out in both innings.. Splendid win, looked worrying after the first few, though it is fair to say an attack of Siddle, Overton, Davey, Gregory & Leach is better than one of Siddle, De Lange, Leonard, Aldridge & Van Der Merwe, which was what we started off the season with.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Absolute shambles from Glos, really poor. Get Harvey and Boo-boo back. They got more out of our squad than Benkenstein is doing right now. I expected defeat this week, but not the manner of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single vehicle crash quite late at night, and he is on record as saying he had problems with alcohol addiction. You have no wonder, but whatever happened extremely sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say the same about Ben Compton and Ben Foakes, too. All three have done enough to be in the squad. Crawley and Burns have both done nothing, despite being on flat decks.

I agree. Just saying he hasn’t done nothing. will be interesting to see how he keeps doing as he has changed his technique a little bit. I would say though that I wouldn’t be picking players just because they are in a bit of form. We have been there before and it never really works.

PHILINFRANCE Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Getting back to the subject of young Bethell, if, as I understand it, he was signed on a one match loan, does that mean he is now going to play for Warwickshire Seconds now. It seems such a waste of a wonderful young talent if that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Decided to give today a miss what with the weather and go tomorrow instead. I’m sure the bowlers will improve their length today. How often do you see a team go into bat with not long left in the day, difficult conditions and everyone is expecting a late flurry of wickets and we get none because the bowlers bowl too short? We've certainly seen England and Somerset do it on many occasions and then the following day improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
