The rumour was the club wanted to use the heavily green wicket instead. All rather odd. James Franklin was in discussions with the umpires just before the toss, pitch literally got changed 15 minutes before the start of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted July 12, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 @PHILINFRANCE @Tomarse have heard the real reason now After the teams had warmed up Chris Rogers went to look for Tim Murt who he had played cricket with in the past to say hello. At this point it was pointed out that Tim Murt was actually in Stormont preparing to play for Ireland against Afghanistan ! Nobody at Somerset had realised that Murt had been selected to play, at this point which I am told was around 10:15-10:20 Rogers spoke with Trescothick the umpires and the groundsman and then announced that the original pitch that had been selected was now not going to be used. The confusion was that the new pitch was marked out these discussions, so on appearance if it was as a result of dicussions with the umpires, but not for the reasons originally thought.

All things being well, a 200 run lead by close of play; a quick thrash tomorrow morning to increase the lead to 250 and then our bowlers (missing Jove, but with Jack Leach in fine form) bring us our second win of the season .

Lrrr Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Sign good overseas player.... for 3 games. I really hope Somerset put better thought into the signing of overseas players for next season. Maybe actually signing players who will play full parts of campaigns, signing Rogers was fine, but we needed someone signed for the entire 50 over campaign to make up for Rogers not playing. Similar with T20, we knew Gayle could only play 6 games, wouldn't have been any good had we actually had a good qualifying and progressed, we needed 2 guys who could play the entire campaign again.
