PHILINFRANCE Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I only saw Mike Proctor live a few times, against Somerset, but I do recall watching him on TV in the Gillette Cup against Lancashire. What a game, finished in almost darkness. Poor old Dickie Bird, he would have had a heart attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was weird was that one of the Procky "doubles" was a hat trick of LBWs whilst TP's was a hat trick of caught behinds ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it’s been done same day.. that is a question for the stattos The Proctor one I saw was definitely on consecutive days, my memory is terrible for these things but I know I only attended the first two days, I think the 3rd day was on the Monday after a 40 over game on the Sunday.

PHILINFRANCE Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Well, after being four down for not very many yesterday morning, I certainly didn’t expect 400 and three bonus points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 22 minutes ago, TomF said: If they lose this then heads need to roll I’m very disappointed with Bancroft, an expensive overseas signing for just a few matches who has produced very little. Dickson, I can understand as nothing too much was really expected of him immediately and, of course, TL is still young and, in reality, a one day player trying to make a career in red ball cricket. At least he is giving it a go, unlike Will Smeed. Still, Captain Tom in now, trying to save the game with one of our other new signings.

bearded_red Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Had a top order of young local lads, didn’t score enough runs. Sign three imports in to your top five.. absolutely no better. The bowling attack seems to have dropped off a cliff. It all looks pretty bleak to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Well despite the rain in this continually disappointing summer a really good game is emerging from the clouds at Taunton. We just need Craig to finally click into his usual brilliant mode and a very much needed win can be secured tomorrow. He’s just opening the bowling in Northants 2nd innings as I write.

Yeah I’m not sure what’s gone wrong. This time last year or the last few years come to that, he’s taken 20 odd wickets in his first 3 games. This year we’re into the last innings of his 3rd game and he’s taken 3. Those missing wickets are huge for Somerset and would certainly have us a good few places higher. We rely on him so/too much.
