Only at Surrey could a game be delayed due to rain, then when play starts they go off for rain again, but when play restarts they have to go off as they can't turn off the SPRINKLERS! 99/6 From 10 overs, Gregory 50 from 22 balls

Not so fast . . . 7 down now

Was going to say the same thing - I suppose Bristol Bears is just before the rugby change to Bristol City too?

Which sadly means he has become very costly in the T20 this season

Decent figures from Root this morning

@Seventeen I would be more concerned that you were the 7th highest with goals conceded

Was offered 10 years in prison or 10 years season ticket - he's still inside

Why do you think that @Super ? A shame to not have one of the more sensible posters on here still

@Gashead1981 Surely a police officer would know the processes and procedures better than you? (Or are you a police officer too?)

Great day out in the boiling sunshine but were never in this game - good to get the chance to chat to Alan Donald down there - proper cricketing legend

Point 5 is what I find astonishing, especially being written by a moderator - explains why I never got approved when trying to join a while back We've always let supporters of ANY club on OTIB providing they are not just on a constant piss take, there are a few Rovers supporters that post on here that are actually decent posters. Yes we are rivals on a football pitch, but ultimately we are all football supporters

Some serious defensive play from Lewis Over an hour and a half at the crease, 90 balls, basically 89 balls to score 11 runs

He was pretty decent last season, was lucky enough to see him play for Somerset at the Oval against Surrey where he single handedly nearly carried us to victory We will be close if Corey stays fit - which he has a problem doing

@emersonred Corey Anderson

Due to open in the Autumn - when that is exactly, who knows

Light in the (ahem) tunnel ? https://www.insidermedia.com/insider/southwest/116m-bristol-rail-project-poised-to-get-nod-from-cabinet 27 Jun 2018 South West Business £116m Bristol rail project poised to get nod from cabinet Bristol Council's cabinet is set to approve the first phase of the MetroWest Rail project, which forms part of ambitious plans to bring 105,000 new homes and 82,500 new jobs to the West of England by 2036. Approval is being sought from cabinet for a third initial promotion agreement (IPA3), to be signed in conjunction with the other West of England authorities in a meeting on 3 July 2018. The project forms part of the West of England Joint Spatial plan, which sets out how the new jobs and homes will be delivered up to 2036. The MetroWest Phase one project will deliver a new rail link between Bristol and Portishead, serving intermediate stations. It will also increase rail service frequencies between Severn Beach and Bath. The cost of the scheme is estimated to be £116m, up from an initial £58m as previously estimated. The report to go before cabinet reads: "North Somerset Council has committed to take on all liability for the additional £58m scheme costs, over and above the original £58m scheme cost estimate. Signing the IPA3 will enable the project to continue to be developed without taking on additional liabilities. "Bristol’s Cabinet endorsed the development of the MetroWest programme (Phases 1 and 2) in January 2013. Since that time the cost profile and delivery model have changed significantly and WECA has been constituted and become a partner in this project. "Taking this into account and the time that has elapsed it is considered that a new cabinet approval should be sought. Although a clear funding strategy has not yet been identified, delegated authority to enter into a new Initial Promotion Agreement is being sought now to avoid programme delay once a funding strategy has been identified. "Delays to the programme would result in further cost increases, put the already allocated Local Growth Fund money at risk due to spending deadlines, and add further risk to the project. Potential options for further funding for the project include the Department for Transport’s ‘Transforming Cities Fund’."

Not County cricket, but look at this for a collapse ! Needing just three runs to win off the final two overs, at 186-3, High Wycombe were easing to victory and the last 16 of the National Club Championship. But a spectacular collapse ensued - all out for 187, losing seven wickets in 11 balls to opponents Peterborough Town. A four-wicket maiden was followed by three more dismissals in the final over, courtesy of the sixth-choice bowler, an off-spinner aged 16.

HI @JulieH Just curious, seem to remember in past tournaments there was reference that if people were convicted of offences whilst football was on TV this in turn could see them banned from their respective clubs / banning orders Does that still apply, or are these banning orders only imposed if the incident occurs on a matchday etc

Me too, it was only that I noticed an extra name on our batting line up that I looked into it

Jack Leach got concussed yesterday, there is a new system where a player has to be replaced if diagnosed with concussion, Waller was our 12th man

Someone was in a hurry

Beat me to it @Bristol Rob these sites will increase their prices when there is a lot of "clicks" etc on the flight searches If the tickets don't get purchased the prices will drop again - nothing new here

Sadly we were not much better !

Was talking to a friend of mine that is there watching, he reckons it is just abject batting
