Tough team Somerset. Doing well in the county championship, did well in the 50 overs and reached T20 finals day. A very underated county probably due to them not being an international stadium.
Hill could could in the Englad reckoning soon enough. He's having a wonderful season. Kadmore needs to get out. Former players always have a point to prove.
Can we have Root back for a couple of championship games ? Potts has been released from the squad for Ireland tour to help Durham out !
Should hope so what with Surrey getting their usual preferential treatment with Pope being allowed to play for them from the test side.
Pope didn't play in one-dayers. It's also a two way street, ECB have granted Root permission to play in the past but Joe's preferred the golf course....
Durham have started well against Essex. If they win that it's going to be very tight between an handful of teams going in to the last two games.
https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/forecast/gcjf1rmhe#?date=2025-09-09 It was all very tinpot yesterday to be called off early for wet outfield when the sun was out and it wasn't raining. Looking at the forecast there might not be much play today.
Besides weather, it’s worrying that we’re in last and they have 3 capable spinners. The pitch looks a bit ragged already
A draw is ok for us to be fair. Just got to hope that Durham don't beat Essex but even then we'd stay out of the bottom two. See Durham have bottom of table Worcester next and then us in the last game. Could still get a bit nervy.....
I said that a while ago. Great bit of form interrupted by the stupid 100 and a wet September does the job
