Brian Rose reckons the pitch should flatten out this afternoon - just in time for Somerset to get the last three Warwickshire wickets and be 5 or 6 down themselves by 15H00 ?.

Should flatten out just in time for the start of the second Warwickshire innings?

This has been truly one of the worst wickets we've produced in a while, and we've produced some bad ones lately.  Could easily loose the game AND get a points deduction at this rate. 

Don't want to sound rude, but is it the wicket or just poor shot playing? I've not heard any mention about any inspections of the pitch

There is something odd going on a many games this week with wickets falling all over the country

really poor effort again with the bat happens too many times. Any chance Banton could get into this team with the bat or anybody else in the reserves?

He retired hurt in a Seconds match today, so not any time soon.

Unfortunately, he is a doubt for Saturday.

I see that @TomF has mentioned this awful news already.

COVE has just dismissed Adam Hose for the second time in the match, LBW for 4 have been dismissed in a similar manner in the first innings, although for only 2.

I do feel sorry for AH; he showed promise for Somerset as a youngster, but left for 'better climes', and I am sure he would have been desperate to show Somerset what they were missing.

How ridiculous is the ICC rule regarding Dawson & Vince. I can't quite understand it really, very peculiar.

 

Anyway, not sure how the bookies make Hants favs without Vince/Dawson. V Disrespectful to Somerset

Dunno, I suppose its 'Little old Somerset syndrome', lump on I say... 

Surely Vince and Dawson should be preparing for the world cup..

They could actually be playing on the same day anyway - don’t forget it’s England v Australia at same time

 

We have a game on the Monday they could be playing instead.

 

This isn't an ECB decision. They have made that very clear. The ICC are refusing to allow them permission to play

Just saw this on the Somerset Forum . . .Not sure if WSM FAN posts on here?

Absolutely not a shred of doubt. 
Zero logic in suggesting a Warwicks win on a pitch which has produced 36 wickets in 2 days. 
6 on day 1 morning session. 
8 on day 2 morning session. 
Most in form bowling attack this season against weakest batting line up. 
Wasp says 1%.....
