Yeah I really try and get into the - this is great for the youngsters to get there chance- but it’s just shit and pretty meaningless really. Heads have certainly dropped in the Somerset bowling attack and some of the bowling has been dreadful. So I’m not sure what that’s doing for their development, maybe they’ll learn something from this but I don’t know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Well I’ve been out for a bit, come back in and things are looking decent. 10 runs and 3 wickets later, not so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s tough on him to keep for 50 overs then ask him to get yet another ton. I’m pretty sure he would prefer to bat first, he’s spent a lot of time in the middle this summer and still only 19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Well I’m glad we got well over 300, we were never likely to chase that down with this line up but we could have easily got out for a hundred odd. Not a huge amount we could have done with Shaw in that mood but I did feel some of the bowlers heads dropped and they served up some rubbish, so that’ll be today’s lesson, keep plugging away and you never know.

bearded_red Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 It probably happened in this competition last year, but have Somerset (or any county) ever had to put out a team with five teenagers in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Thomas, Alfie Ogborne, James Rew, Sonny Baker, Jack Harding are 5 I can think of that all played in last years one day cup. I’ve probably missed someone out and not sure if they ever all played in the same match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 For the Gloucestershire fans who are thinking Somerset’s bowling attack minus their Hundred players is rubbish…. Our bowling attack minus them would include, Josh Davey, Sonny Baker, Alfie Ogborne, Jack Brooks and Jack Leach. All injured. This is our 3rd/youth team attack.

Fordy62 Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Excuses, excuses. To concede a double ton to an Indian international is understandable, to a reasonable county player perhaps forgiveable, but to Bobby Bracey? Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone getting completed carted to all parts, he goes for 6 an over and doesn’t get his full allocation. Crazy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aught to ask Mr Lansdown for a loan of some of that £25m as your squad is obviously paper thin ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
