Jayasuria, Smith, Caddick and Johnson all in the same somerset team...  :D we are currently 265-5 v Worcestershire who have Chaminda Vaas, Graham Hick and Gareth Batty just to name a few. So good team

Jayasuria hit 66, Smith hit 55, not bad at all! Better than usual.

I was going to wander down to bath this week, but have exams all week which is annoying!

I hadn't noticed it was on.....can't make it anyway.

   2 years ago I had a good Friday planned with a mate who's Worcestershire, (my second favourite team),......pissed down with rain all day....in what was largely a dry summer, bummer.

unlucky.i hate it when that happens

i went to somerset v gloucestershire last year in the 20/20 at Bristol...was dry till it started, then somerset were 90-7 and it pissed down and got called off!  :beers:  because of that rain, we finished higher than gloucestershire in the table  :soapy tit wank:

Every cloud has a silver lining.

I am going on Sunday, Against Kent Spitfires. (one day game)
I go every year since 1998.

lucky you then mate. 2 people i know from calne cricket are going. one supports the mighty sabres, the other is a kent fan.

who's  that then? Dazza?

nah not dazza! Dan Farthing and Rob Trevis i believe.

Somerset have collapsed at the moment, Not Good lads, once again we cannot bowl teams out, we need bowlers!!

It's not all that bad, we did get max batting points.

yeh got max batting points but so will they, when with a score like that we could of easily won.

Hey, Johno, I asked Darren about you and hed said your a better/faster bowler than him.
I know daz is quite fast, but if you are faster, you must be quite good.
I hope you direct the ball better than him too (he bowls them everywhere some times). :-))(

nah i doubt im faster!  :soapy tit wank:  i reckon he is a better bowler than me, he gets more wickets where as i probably concede less runs.

well somerset ended today on 151-9  :oops: only a 130 odd lead.  :(

And they lost already.  :x  How did they stuff it up like that? Total shite.

its somerset, we always stuff up :soapy tit wank: david graveney though today said that Caddick might still have a international carrer..... :o

Just got back. Someset fielding is utter shite. Robert Key fielding is shite. Kent batting was ace. Somerset batters started well but fumble it. But the game was alright.
Got a few pictures to post up tomorrow.

I don't think I've ever been so depressed about Somerset cricket....when I first started  supporting in the 60's despite never achieving much, the side seemed to have interesting characters......Bill Alley, Mervin Kitchen, Fred Rumsey...then got in Tom Cartwright.   Brian Langford had the legendary analysis for a 40 over match of 8 overs 8 maidens 0 for 0....then the 70's and 80's saw the golden period of Botham, Vic Marks, Dasher Denning, Hallam Moseley, Brian Rose , Sir Viv and Joel. I'll not mention the bottom beating piece of filth from O*frod.

 The 90's saw the emergence of Caddick though Lathwell was a sort of Joey Beauchamp....Graham Rose was an entertainer and Rob Turner should have played for Engalnd as leading run scorer one year...overseas players were generally decent still with the likes of Mustaq giving good service and Jimmy Cook a legend.

 There were still characters about like Andre Van Troost the huge wide spraying Dutchman, and the 2000's started well with the Tresco coming through and Richard Johnson doing the biz, Blackwell made progress as well.

 But now, utter utter crap......think the solution is to get Reeve off the coke and get him rehabilitated as coach.....sadly Vic Marks has to go along with Anderson as chief exec.
