Hello all,

By way of introduction, I am a Somerset supporter who, since the 2018 season, has written detailed match reports on all CC and BWT Somerset matches (and some days of cricket in 2017). I write from a Somerset perspective but try to be even-handed in describing the play of both sides. I try too to capture the atmosphere of a day at the cricket as well as the play itself. I lodge the reports on my website, 'Farmer White Somerset Cricket Writing', and (eventually) collect them in self-published books. More recently, whether Somerset win or lose, I have taken to posting links to the reports on opposition supporters' online forums (and have survived thus far!), including on this site's predecessor.

The process for the 2021 season has been much-delayed, but the reports are now all finally in place on my site. In case anyone wants a mid-winter look back at a Somerset perspective on Warwickshire's final CC match (from memory it was quite an important match!), here are the links to my reports. (They do take a while to read):

First day Hard Grind:

The following link will take you to all reports I have written on Somerset v Warwickshire matches:

I trust this post is considered appropriate coming from an opposition supporter. If not, I would fully understand should a moderator decide to remove it.

With best wishes to all, and congratulations to Warwickshire on their eighth County Championship.
