PHILINFRANCE Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I've not been to The County Ground since I was a young boy. Can anybody let me know what the large impressive building is (looks like a hospital, or similar)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to score quicker I know what you mean, but it is deceptive. LG's strike rate (for 39NO), was 144.44, whilst DC's (for 81 NO), was 124.61. As per. David Hopps: Conway's unbeaten 81 from 65 balls would not make much of a gaudy highlights reel, but his sensible shot selection and judicious tempo never wavered as he guided Somerset home with four balls to spare.

I was a bit too late with my edit, but I wanted to add this, also courtesy of David Hopps: Goldsworthy rounded off the win with successive boundaries against Higgins, he finished with 43 not out from 28 balls, misleading stats which suggested there had been nothing to worry about.

New Dazzler Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Northern Red said: Bracey is having a stinker. Playing against Conway, be it New Zealand or Somerset, seems to spook him. Then he drops him in the first over. I would not normally say that one missed chance would be that crucial with what really was a comforable win, as plenty more batsmen could come in and make those runs, but it seems Somerset really were light on batting. As for Glos, we should be looking at winning our next 2 (Hants and Middlesex are in the bottom 2) and hope that takes us nearly over the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 10 hours ago, PHILINFRANCE said: Judging by Sri Lanka's score so far today - 12/3 off 4 overs - England should be able to just pick another allrounder, bowl first and have the match done and dusted by tea. It seems crazy to have TB withdraw from Somerset's T20 side, just when, finally, he was coming in to some form, just for him to sit in a bubble as cover for Malan, who is suffering from personal problems. It seems crazy on the basis that Roy is fit again, Livingstone (fit?) Can surely cover as opener or Moeen Ali and Billings covers as keeper so what is the point of Banton being there if he doesn't play a game?

tin Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Fair play to Somerset. They got their yorkers in and we lacked any invention to get around them. Losing the toss was a bat start for us as well, we prefer to chase. 12 hours ago, TomF said: If Bracey holds on to Conway it might have been different. He’s absolute class.. hope he takes this into the CC games He will. Extraordinary to think he's not even sure he'll get back into NZ after this summer, because of the virus and the fact he doesn't have a NZ passport!

Wonder with the series now won there may be quite a few changes and Banton will get a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
