Pure Shores (All Saints)

Interesting from the club. Anyone fancy meeting up now for a beer?

This add's even more hilarity this morning !

You have to remember @ChippenhamRed that not everything that get's posted gets seen by all on here. I only just realised that when someone gets the boot on here - their previous posts go with them

Possibly correct - but no doubt the reason that they dislike us is because we a much more successful than most of those tin pot clubs - yourselves included. I do wonder if you would really expect someone you were talking to about local football to actually say they preferred City to Rovers as it would be clear to them they were talking to a Rover fan ! Clearly as you mention #gaslogic

Was a really strange day at Taunton yesterday, for most of the day it actually looked like we might do it, 240 off 40 looked tight and hoped they keep wickets in hand then fall short. Was talking to Trescothick he went for a sleep mid afternoon, he hadn't seen the latest score at this point and didn't want to know it. Players obviously getting nervous as they had a game of football on the pitch at one point. It was strange how many people were so tense they were sat in the ground staring into the distance. Was great to speak to Lavendar, Abell, Bess, Hildreth (reckons he could play in 3 weeks), Rogers (said he was surprised so many there yesterday) and Ian Blackwell, there is real passion to go one better next season.

Not a surprise but Rogers just announced he's leaving Somerset

Ryan Sidebottom scored the winning run that day

Coming off for bad light and rain . . .

Sidebottom looked out there ! Very slight inside edge

Heavy rain reported in Ealing - about 20 minutes away

Rain getting heavier around Lords, sweeping in and getting cloudier Sidebottom edged but didn't quite carry

£15k per player for being a runner up - not a bad carrott !

Light rain and dark clouds over Lords

Have a funny feeling it would be better if Yorks get 350, at least they'll have a real go then

Grasping at every straw now ! When we beat Yorskhire last week First Innings: Brooks scored 7 from 9 balls, Sidebottom 3 from 35 balls Second Innings: Brooks scored 0 from 12 balls, Sidebottom 2 from 14 balls Keep Bresnan off of strike and maybe just maybe

and like a few minutes ago - serious de ja vu

Love this . . . This dramatic game at Lord's takes another turn on the stroke of lunch. And Middlesex have finally caught one! Steven Finn finds the outside edge of Steven Patterson and Ollie Rayner clutches onto a sharp chance in the slips. They'll be dancing in the streets of Wells and Bridgwater at that news. And that is indeed lunch.

Yep - Five sessions to go, unless Yorks get a massive lead from this innings I agree

Workin' for MCA - Lynard Skynyrd

That's my view on it, actually think the longer they bat the better for us

Might work in our favour - means Middlesex will have to go for it

From the BBC: With most of the bonus points sorted out now, at least we know what needs to happen for all three sides in the title hunt. If Somerset win, which they are likely to do against Notts, they will be champions if it's a draw between Middlesex and Yorkshire at Lord's. The trophy is also heading to the West Country if Yorkshire beat Middlesex but score less than 350 in their first innings. If Yorkshire score more than 350 inside 110 overs and then beat Middlesex - Yorkshire win their third straight title. If Middlesex win full stop, they are champions.
