Hey George any chance you can have a bowl too!?

Is it the coaches responsibility if a player keeps playing shots that are inappropriate for the game situation or the ball faced?

Surely the players have to take responsibility for their actions?

Yes I get that, was thinking more about team selection, motivation, tactics.

I dont rate Westwood sorry, certainly not in the white ball competitions and the jury is out on the Championship. If we do poorly in the 50 over stuff I would definitely be reviewing his position.

To balance this I would say the number of injuries we get is horrendous.

A stronger bowling attack but batting looks weak.

Think we are a frontline bowler light unfortunately.

Deceleration looks like it’ll leave us under par. Scores but no big contribution and no one there to “cash in” at the death. Will need to bowl well.

Yes but a very handy 19 off the last 7 balls helps.

Solid contributions from all the batsmen so far including Highvelds mate Davies.

No Lintott is a surprise, nice to see Wylie given a go.

What a great finish. Well played Dan. Ed's fitness (and form) is a bit worrying with the One Day Cup coming up.

He's playing in the 100 isnt he?

Brilliant from Dan M again, just a shame we started the comp off so badly.

I see Oxford have a Mousley playing for them as well as someone called Cheater haha

Gleeson is such a good one day bowler. Can we sneak a best third place slot I wonder?

Overton is a right w*****. Embarrassing behaviour.

As a matter of fact Somerset fans & players seem to be tossers.

Oh what happened?

I've backed Davies previously, not as a captain admittedly as he was rubbish......now I can't for the life of me understand why Westwood keeps picking him to open - its now farcical.

Got to be time for Davies and Malik to have a break from the 4 day side.

Very much looking forward to Friday and Saturday in Scarborough.

Any recommendations for best fish and chip shop and evening entertainment?

Lifeboat Fish Bar - was there only in March.

I reckon we have the least T20 specialists of anyone in the comp. Gleeson and who else? This smacks of really poor recruitment and management. How much is it to see a Blast game these days btw as I doubt many will bother now.

Dan M, Gleeson, Booth, Kai Smith and even Garton would make a difference but fear its too late. The selections Im afraid are on Westwood, its more of a longer format line up currently than a T20 one. No power hitters, no real pace. Dreadful all round unfortunately.

I agree, it's all down to Westwood. Terrible squad selection, terrible team choice. At least 3 of that XI should be nowhere near a start - Davies, Vansh & Thompson. 2 others should be seriously doubted - OHD & a spinner (we can't go with two again). And Webster is, currently, a big let down.

Bamber, Kai Smith & Malik HAVE to come in. Booth, as well, probably. How can a team that hasn't lost in all six of its T20 games (our Seconds) not show the First team the way?!

Agree about Webster, he's much more a four day player than a T20 one. Really can't understand the thought processes when picking the current team.

Yes the spin combo very impressive in the post Briggs/Lintott world.
