We've had some heartache on this ground in recent times, hopefully we can pull a rabbit out of the hat this weekend.

Slightly concerned by the look of how our bowling attack will assemble for this one. From the squad released there's no spare batter so I expect Davies will stay at the top.

Davies Yates Mousley Hain Webster Barnard Malik Suthar Thompson Bamber Gilchrist will probably be the side.

Yep Ethan Bamber will open the bowling without Woakes, Barker or OHD for the first time this season?

Wonder what type of Taunton we'll get? Ciderabad? The green one? The road?

Wish Booth wasn't overseas still...

The signing of Suthar suggests we're expecting some turn surely cause I'm not sure the punt is exactly worth the exclusion of Booth if we're playing on a green top?

Barnard obviously gives overs but feels like that side misses an out and out new ball option if it's to be Gilchrist.

Mad to think we're going into a game without one of OHD, Woakes, Barker or Booth. Not really anyone's fault, mind.

Looking at the Somerset squad, even without Rew, Gregory and Abell they still look strong.
