It's all over, Glos win by an innings and 7 runs. It's because they heard that i'm their newest supporter, obviously Beers

Quote from: "Reg Smeeton"
Could you tell us a bit about Cameron, please Johno...he seems to have crept into Somerset cricket beneath my radar.?

Reg, Cameron White is the captain of Victoria, aged 22. So he oversaw the 900 run massacre.

He started off a leg-spinner when he broke into the Vics side but his batting has improved dramatically but his bowling hasn't moved anywhere. He'll be a good bowler in one-dayers but in first-class he's pretty much a dud as he can't actually spin it - hardly bowled himself at all for the Vics this year. Over the last 2-3 years he's got a lot of 50s and a couple of tons for the Vics so this year will be a big learning curve for him in making big hundreds and doubles. Seeing as Taunton is a batsman's paradise (I know you wouldn't believe it looking at the shower of shit they call a batting line up) he should rack up some impressive scores this year.

Dan Cullen is an off-spinner from South Aus - also 22 years old. He's had two fantastic years in Aus first-class cricket ripping up shitloads of wickets. He's seen as the next big spin bowler (although being a conventional offie he ain't gonna be half as good as Warne) and has recently been called up to the ODI squad for the Bangladesh tour.

However, neither of them are in the same class as another Aussie, Gloucestershire's true legend Ian Harvey. 45 runs and 5 wickets in the match as we win by an innings. Welcome back Harvs!

trott is a very good batsman, quite destructive and wouldn't mind him in the England odi side at number 3. he'd be a far way off the test side though

Shane Bond has pulled out of his Gloucestershire contract with a knee injury.

Massive blow, I was really looking forward to seeing him here but it was always going to be a long shot. I imagine if Harvs carries on his good start he'll be the replacement.

Oh dear,Bond seems to be almost constantly injuried,its a shame for Glos and the Kiwis.Still Harvey is a class act,better than Scott Styris anyway Smiley
