I am not sure that TA will feature much for England this season, in red or white ball, although I suppose he may be considered for the latter if he is able to avoid (another) injury.

Abell won't play for England this summer, he got in the white ball squad on the basis England's squad is split between the NZ tour and the Bangladesh tour, in England I imagine we won't have a split squad.

I'm more than happy for Somerset to sign Bancroft if it pisses off the right people and helps deliver that elusive county championship.

ralphindevon Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 New season eve. Not quite as excited as I should be as it’s been raining most of the day here, not sure about Taunton and the ground staff could really have done with today in preparation. Anyway, not sure if we’ll start on time but at least it should be dry tomorrow. I quite like the look of the squad and weather allowing I’m hopeful of starting with a win. I’ll only be there on day one. Stoke away on Friday, Man Utd v Everton on Saturday, rest day Sunday then I may go for a couple hours on Monday if it’s looking interesting followed by City v Boro………..M5 holiday traffic allowing. Good luck to all cricket fans and players for the new season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed every dry day after last week to prepare a decent pitch. I haven’t heard a thing about it yet but would be surprised to see a prompt start. It’s going to be a bit cold to be sat around as it is. Never mind I’m sure it’ll be fine in August when we’ll be able to watch the seconds play a couple of 50 over games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed from Durham, scored 80* odd in a pre season friendly. South African but British qualified. Abell still out injured but should return soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just realised while wondering if I could fit in a few hours on Monday as the football is a later kick off time that it finishes on Sunday. Already getting the days mixed up.

Super Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Again with somerset it's whether we can score big runs. The bowling looks strong as always. Will Bazball come to the county championship?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Disappointing start to the weekend and season. Is it going to be one of those awful frustrating damp summer’s. As this is the season where points for a draw has fallen from 8 to 5 it wouldn’t surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, which is probably a good idea if the weather behaves. I wonder if we’ll go back to the days of buffet bowling and and contrived declarations?
