Lovely letter in The Argus today from John Lees regarding Brenda.
Sorry read it inthe printed edition and cannot find it online. Good to know that John Lees is still with us
Did you know that John Lees and Liz Costa have been happily together for 30 years ?

Not a lot of folk know that.

I guess you can never judge your score until both teams have batted.

A high scoring draw would represent a decent start

Still think there could be something in this game.
If we keep gifting them four balls they could score quickly, get a 100 or so lead and then it’s potentially ours to lose on the final day.
A draw isn’t in the bag for either side.

Elsewhere in Div 1, Tom Banton is 344 not out overnight for Somerset 👀

With Crawley’s poor form continuing there could be an opener slot become available this summer, and someone like Blanton is a good candidate for the slot

With 6 more Championship games before June for Somerset, could Banton actually join the '1000 First Class runs before the end of May' club? It's only been done twice post war by Glenn Turner in 1973 and Graeme Hick in 1988.

He's more of a white ball player really. I wouldn't expect him to achieve it. Graeme Hick managed to do it because of his 405 against Somerset that May.

I saw him play in a match at Northampton around that time. He was still qualifying. One of the best batsman I've seen. Just seemed to shrivel up in an England shirt.
