They are a very weird crowd down there who really do like to think the entire world is against them.

I probably prefer them to Hampshire though who are just downright nasty.

At first I didnt think he was illegal, but the more ive watched him run through his variations I think his 'leggie' is illegal. That's all though.

Webster's pull shot for 6 off Gregory in the 12th over was brutal.

Yeah was thinking this about Yates, he's done well in the PP, and yes he's been pretty unselfish. From a technical point of view, he's better when he stands and plays from the crease, he's quite a clean hitter and plays fast bowling very well. I've always felt he's a bit of a better t20 player than he's given credit for, decent record in this comp.

Sensational, you do see large chases at Taunton, fair play to them 2 for holding their nerve. What a partnership.

James Rew released by the ECB for this one...cheers...

We go again

Poor match all round for Barnard - I'm unconvinced by him as a T20 player and fear that's because his nous in this format isn't what it is in red ball.

Poor performance with the bat, dropped a crucial catch and then made a mistake bringing Mouseley on

Yeah he's had a mare.

Gutted, if it wasn't for that Thompson over...

Yates what a grab!

He's a noted a t20 player though, i dont know whats gone on with him here however...

It may not end being enough but were fighting hard here...

An absolute seed to get Woakes

The openers put on 54 in 5.4 overs. We've gone 51 for 6 in 11.2 since.

oh FFS Hain injured?

He always gets insane runs at TB, too, his T20 average there is well over 100 IIRC

Blame Westwood.

Think he's been formally named in the squad so id imagine he'll be available for the 3rd Lions game? Possible the ECB have released him due to Hain's injury?

Hope Hain injury isn't too serious...

So he's only gonna play the 3rd Lions game?

Last season he played 10 championship and 10 T20 games at Somerset. With that level of availability he would be worth signing.

And this season?

How much would we actually see of Banton? What with IPL and Hundread etc.

Totally - was looking forward to that last year but as I recall that was just the point when he got ill...

If Simmons can be involved in the ODC it could be huge for his development.

I don't recall him being ill, not sure what happened with him. Can't remember.
