Not our finest hour

Pretty strong Somerset 2nd XI with two Test Match bowlers and several other 1st Team players. I wonder if Bashir will get the hump in the same way that Dominic Bess did and look for another County. He's not getting much 1st Team action in any format.
Theo Wylie looks some player though.
Not sure the batters stood a chance when they posted 190.
A lot of poor bowling.
And then Somerset had a very strong bowling line up, against which we were swinging from the off.
First of 2 x T20 friendly v SACA today

Barnard four overs for 67 runs and out for 0 - not exactly making a case for promotion to the full Bears team.

Burgess on the other hand 46 off 19 balls….
Both Barnard and Benjamin failed. Unless they come good in the second match, hard not to think he’s in with a shout.
Well, well, well - the return of Mr. Norwell - 4-21.
He'll probably have a reaction, and be off for a few more weeks!
Oh ye of little faith!
We will see!
Of course I'd like him to be available for every game for the rest of the season, but that is unlikely.
Keep him for the championship. With Ali, Gleeson, Garton, Miles, OHD, Aamir, Booth, Barnard, Simmons, Briggs, Mousley & Lintott. We’ve surely got enough bowling for the T20.
Would he even last one day of a championship game?
If not then definitely time to let him go.
A certain C Woakes playing.

And OHD's bowling not required. I'd find it hard to predict the winner of a game between that side and the so-called first XI.
Wylie 50 from 21

I was thinking the same thing. (I wish there was a ‘like’ option on this messageboard)

And a certain L Norwell (again - 2 consecutive games without setbacks - I hope I don't speak too soon!)!
Woakes, Miles, Booth, Norwell & Barnard, the seam attack (and OHD, who didn't bowl). At last!
