Good to see. Had a chuckle at seeing Hildreth having to show his membership card to be let in earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have to check, but it's been 150 for as long as I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Abbott gets a hearty round of applause as he gets to 12.....he has only just finished his last innings on 89 not out. So an almost uninterrupted hundred not out. Unfortunately for him it won't say that in the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose Somerset don`t get the chance to enforce it very often so I just assumed it was the same for all formats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted July 12, 2023 Author Admin Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 It's happening again, why do so many people get so negative....

bearded_red Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Think the Kookaburra ball combined with the pitch will probably lead to a draw, but a really quite incredible effort so far from such an inexperienced attack (apart from Brooks obviously) against a side as strong as Hampshire. A serious first first-class wicket for Alfie as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English country cricket should always use a Duke ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. A decent side would have them at least seven down by now In all seriousness, what an experience for the young fellas against a good side. Whether they end up getting the win or not, they've made fools of those who were saying Somerset threw the game or were praying for a draw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
