Silvio Dante Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Considering (I think) this is Tom Abells first innings back post injury he’s been ridiculous. This has been superb, and although I’m glad England aren’t picking him, how he’s not in the conversation for the test team is insane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Tom ******* Abell! Seriously needs to be considered for England duty whichever format, should be Morgan's replacement if he stands down from T20's after the WC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Just now, TomF said: Tom Abell. Proper cricketer. Did he give them a chance? He’s already taken over from Hildreth as the best batsman not to have played for England. Been unlucky with injuries just at the wrong time plus he often hits form just as the crap schedule offers no cricket. Classy player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Fantastic! I don't know why I feel the need to post this now and if anyone cares, but... I lost a good friend three weeks ago David Villis who was the biggest Somerset supporter you will ever come across. His knowledge was encyclopedic on all things 'Set. Me and my missus were with him last at the County Ground watching Somerset v Glos with Jack Leach's Dad (and dog!) Such a lovely bloke and watching the cricket will never be the same without him. Rest in peace, Dave And as he would say: Up the 'Set! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'd rather we kept Tom Abell down in Taunton, England have enough of our players to carry the water for them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Interestingly, all three counties to have qualified for Finals Day were from the South Group and, to the despair of the ECB, I am sure, none are Test Ground Counties.

Midred Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Has anyone any idea of the future set up of the cricket seasons now? The idea that they cram a load of county games into April and May followed by a few weeks break for one day games then back to county cricket then 6 weeks off to cram the 100 plus Royal London plus T20 and finally back to county games in September is just crazy. Have they used the experience of last year to extend the season. I know that years ago we'd have 3 rather than 4 day games plus 3 other limited over competitions but they all seemed to slot in together with maybe the odd week off for the limited over games but the overall season seemed to flow a lot better.

I think it’s all still to be decided this winter. I have a feeling there will be a 100 franchise team in the south west after all the stick they’ve had for ignoring us this season, which will be annoying. But besides that probably similar to this season, though could be some tweaking with the championship, we’ve still to see how this season plays out yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat them at Taunton but got stuffed at Southampton, 100 all out. All be it with a very different side that will play in the semi final.
