Great 50 for Rew

Ominous partnership developing. Somerset surely favourites now.

 

[SAINTOSPREY]

Somerset handing it to us on a plate.

I wish we had Fuller instead of Jack bowling, we miss his golden arm. Cue a five-fer for Eddie!

 

[st_brendy]

Boom

 

[tomw24]

Huge wicket!

 

[Saints_Alive]

Abbo Dabba DOOOO!!!!!

 

[tomw24]

Barker's still got it! 3 wickets in an over against Essex.

A seasonal batting average for a no.10 of 23 is excellent. But Jack is ultimately in this team for his bowling, and his current seasonal bowling average is a horrible 70. And with an economy of over 4.

If he doesn't produce the goods today, I wouldn't be selecting him next game. But then again, I wouldn't have selected him for these first three games either. Can't afford to carry passengers in a D1 bowling attack.

 

[tomw24]

Needed that.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Ha! golden arm Eddie! only 4 more for his five-fer...

 

[tomw24]

6 down!

 

[Saints_Alive]

DAWSSSS!!!!

 

[st_brendy]

Finally Daws has his wicket. Deserves it massively.

 

[Saints_Alive]

That wicket was coming.

 

[tomw24]

Dreadful from Overton it has to be said.

 

[tomw24]

Whichever way this goes it's been a thrilling CC match. Both teams have been on top at different times of the game.

 

[tomw24]

Prest very unfortunate not to take a wicket there.

 

[tomw24]

I would go spin at both ends after lunch until the new ball.

 

[st_brendy]

Somerset have gone just slow enough to bring the second new ball into the picture. But we're going to need at least one wicket, and very likely two, before it comes.
