    You deserve that, Essex. Should have been someone like, say, Tom Westley in your side. He might have won you this game. But no, you stubbornly and arrogantly go with Beard.

    You’d be shot in Somerset for admitting to that

    Well done Somerset. Best team in the group stage, and best today. Now about putting a string of wins together in the CC and get a first ever County Championship.title?

    Glad we had a full rendition of “Where be that blackbird to?” from the boys. Not sure the likes of Dickson and Sodhi knew what they were singing about but great fun anyway!

    Not this season, but we have such a wealth of young talent emerging, maybe next year?

    Can Middlesex get your director of cricket? That club has not.got a Scooby Doo!! They will have almost a full squad for the Royal, while other sides are.depleted, and still manage to come last in the group.

    Not sure about that. Just my opinion but a Hawks Somerset final would have been better.

    I might be biased but Somerset did win 14 out of 16 games to win the trophy, I think we might have given Hampshire a good game in the final too.
