Thanks for that. Glad Rory got a bit of stick.It was indeed a lovely day - Somerset actually reaching 300.
I was there for Ball one right to the last Ball - a good days cricket and excellent weather
Minuses - Tom Lammonby poor shot to get out first ball off the change bowler and a crazy run out of Tom Abell
Pluses - Lewis Goldsworthy looks a useful prospect getting his maiden first class 50 (he is very tiny though) and the other Lewis (Gregory) really is a good bat never looked in trouble
Observation - Jamie Overton is sharp but bowls far too short the last two overs he bowled to Peter Siddle - Siddle only had to play at one
Still think Surrey will win it but Somerset have made a fist of it.
Apologies Al I never managed to get to Rory's flowing locks however shout of the day from the crowd when Rory chased one down and prevented a Boundary
'She Fielded That One Well'
And as for England - Magnificent - Bairstow was brutal
As regards Goldsworthy, did you get an opinion from Pate on his lack of height ?
As you say, Somerset at least have put up a fight. Another 100 runs needed to set Sorry a target of sorts though. Seems unlikely unless Gregory does a Bairstow.
Have to admit to following events at Trent Bridge in priority. Thought we might be fooked at 90 odd for 4 with that long tail. Jonny Bairstow’s innings was really quite out of this world. Ben Stokes played his part too.
