ralphindevon Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Well Andy Umeed was worth the wait after all. Averaged over 87 in this years one day cup. Surely will open when the red ball re starts. Plenty of time to mull it over though as it’s 4 weeks until we see Somerset play at home again. Still, we had plenty of games in that cold, wet April.

I didn’t know that. He’s been phenomenal in this years one day cup, 172 today at a SR of 117. Come on leaps and bounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DolmanGaz Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I'm no fan of the 100... but was staggered to see Harry Brook miss on the england ODI squad. He got a century off 40 odd balls today. In such form. Roy and livingstone nowhere near it. I just don't understand it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume a very similar time to this year, maybe a tad later. Which will mean a long break from the quarter finals to finals day so you lose all momentum for players and fans. I think a Taunton based team might get dragged into the 100 next year too. If it does I wonder where we’ll play our 50 over games now we don’t have any out grounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted September 2, 2023 Author Admin Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 It was 50 years ago today that Ian Botham made his Somerset debut against Sussex at Hove! He turned out to be a pretty decent signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
