If the focus is on developing players , why is Davies in the side and keeping wicket? Why is Lintott, a player who is going to be released in the side?

Smith needs to be given time with the gloves and both Wylie and Garlick who, potentially, have a future with the club should be included.

I do wish we looked like a more competitive outfit. I can’t help but feel that with wickets in the shed and 10 plus overs to come Somerset look far too comfortable. Desperately hope I’m wrong.

Our tail looks massive, I can remember when we had sides in 50 over games (B & H Final 2002) when 9, 10, and 11 were Smith, Giles and Piper. A long time ago....

Shame to see Taylor lose his way a bit in his final over he'd done well up until then.

Because if Lintott wasn’t playing we’d of taken 6 wickets less in the last two matches and things would look desperately bad. Taz is off form from last years high and looks a shadow of his former self. If Yates is out doing Taz, then Taz must be fearing for his future.

If Lintott keeps this up Westwood is going to look a bit more clueless. Where does Westwood go from here?

May I ask why you are so invested in Jake Lintott?

Jani has absolutely stuffed Rob Yates (who was looking good) there, appalling.

And here we go, under pressure straight from the off.

It is just not good enough
