from what I saw Rew jr has an interestingly different style to the elder Rew- much more bottom-handed? Rew elder looks very classical from what I have seen, jr looks a bit more like say Jonny Bairstow?

Said after I first saw him live in 2024 re. James, the short ball will sort him out at the highest level, good player though he clearly is.

Tom looks even better with bat and gloves in my opinion.

Zen opening

Overton 3rd ton of the season

Even if we dont get wickets, we absolutely cannot let Somerset get off to a bit of a flyer in the morning, going at 5's etc, gotta keep em off us.

Even when we were getting wickets it felt as though we were relying on Somerset making mistakes as opposed to our bowlers just being too good. I hope this isn't going to be another example of the opposition bowlers exploiting whatever conditions on offer better than our bowlers.

Im not so sure, even Yates and Mousley got a couple to turn sharply. I can just see Leach on his home ground going through us. He'll likely get 30 overs at us with seamers rotating from the other end. Might need a Hain special. Somerset favourites here for me :(

Fair points, I couldn't put my finger on why he didnt look as threatening as he might but I didnt consider his release points.

117/0 after Tea. Under the circumstances and game situation, thats a horror session I'm afraid.

Suthar a bit disappointing? Mousley and Yates got a couple to turn, he hasnt bowled badly but i expected better from the overseas even though he did get 3.

Was that a drop from Zen then? Looked hard but still...

Overton's been in form this season and T. Rew looks like he's been doing this for years, how is he only 18?!

Will we take it? Or keep Suther going with the old ball?

How many are we 'comfortable' chasing? Just wondering out loud like...

Needed that

4 down at lunch. Come on keep chipping away.

Thompson looks a million dollars everytime he bats, times the ball so well, then just gets out. Sounds obvious I know but it's like he plays one shot too many. Never looks out of nick or anything whether he gets 4 or 40.

Overton and Ball have been good all innings.

There is definitely something outside of off from the end Ogborne bowled from, Vaughan turned one square out what looked a bit rough. Might be something, might be nothing.

The umpires have been having a look at Ogborne's follow through, no ones doubting that, it's something the lad has struggled with in previous games.

They'll probably let em sub a batter in...

Now he gets Hain, absolutely seething.

They subbed out Gregory for Ball last game. Again, not really like for like.
