Really excellent piece on the ridiculous scheduling that has a lot to do with the retirements of Swann and perhaps Trott:
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2015/may/05/jonathan-trott-early-retirement-england-cricketAs for Somerset Reg...can't disagree with much of what you've said. A lot of the problems are bad luck, especially Kieswetter and Compton leaving after we'd already sorted the overseas. I think Rehman will come into his own in the second half of the season, and Cooper and Allenby will be good in the one day stuff at least, but it's going to be a tough season. An innings and a 62 to Worcestershire, my word.
Well the mighty Cidermen managed to survive and even win a game....next season will see Div 1, consist of the Test ground counties and Somerset.
Been a terrible summer, with only an occasional bright spot.....namely the emergence of Abell; Leach finally getting a look in and the Overtons continuing to develop.
Tresco, for better or worse is carrying on, and has been getting runs, Hildreth is still class and Trego a good team man. Gregory had a good start to the season, but less form at the later end.
The Great Alphonso has gone....plenty of work to do in the winter. Need an effective overseas, a wicketkeeper who can bat and something solid for 3 or 5. A left arm swinger would also be desirable.
