I don’t think this will be easy for Somerset. Remember we have sod all batsman and have been skittled many times this season. Could be tight. We should win but we are very much in the realms of cock ups possible here.

But we scored less than half their 1st innings with our bowlers unable to keep down their score.
I give our boys some credit for a much better 2nd Innings total than I expected.

I reckon if we can bowl them out before they reach the run target we have a chance of winning this one

82/3 - only 60 or so to win. Shame

Middle order fails again.
Farbs loves Clark but he's not up to it, at least not at 3.
Think Carter needs to come in for him next game. Carter doesn't get enough opportunities in red ball cricket.
That Hayes was a waste of a place this game, pretty much played with 10 men. If we had Karvelas or Carter instead, might have been a closer game.
Might need to move Simpson up the order a bit?

Oh well
That's how the weekend rolls

I wish all county wickets had a bit in them like that one. It was perfectly possible to score runs with some application and something for all the bowlers. Value for runs with the outfield. Good match.
Thanks to Robbo for overstepping when he had Gregory out second ball! Fine margins.
That was the highest score for a Somerset opener since 2023.

With a little more belief, I think we could have taken you . Maybe not the best move to effectively play with ten men either.
In the end we were well beaten
That no ball changed everything. Small margins.
One all this season then. Let’s see how it goes in the short stuff.
