Off at the knees guys

Up to Bristol to fight for the top spot in the South West group. We lose it to a good batting performance from Craig Spearman who takes the game with 10 balls to go. A good 290 isn't enough when this guy gets into that zone and we couldn't shift him.

v Gloucestershire (FPT) @ Bristol Sunday 11 May 2008
Up the M5 to our 'Regional Brothers' for a top of the table clash - an event we expect the EWCB to maintain. The 'Bristolians' have the advantage because of run rate and we want to change that situation today. The weather is absolutely gorgeous here so it should be a full game on time and we all hope the Sabres have learned lessons from the batting collapses of the last couple of games and will put the 'Glads' bowling attack to the sword (sorry!)
The initial announcement was that the side would be the CC Hampshire eleven with Neil Edwards and Michael Munday making way for seamers Steffan Jones and Alfonso Thomas. That would mean that Wes Durston would miss out from the officially announced squad of 12. The joy starts at 12:00 and Somerset Sound should be providing ball by ball - but probably not until 2:00
Well it's 2:00 and we have some commentary after being tempted that Radio Gloucestershire would be covering from 12:00 but they weren't. Ben Phillips has been rested so Wes is playing and may even get a chance to bowl today.
It was one of those games where the advantage goes from one side to the other on a pretty regular basis. Somerset had the first part of the game and although the lost Trescothick early, the runs rattled up at a decent rate. Then Kieswetter went at 89 and a flurry of wickets with no player really bothering the scorer much gave the impetus to Gloucestershire until Langer and de Bruyn came together and restored order in the line-up with a stand of 72.
Wes Durston followed de Bruyn back to the pavilion very quickly and Peter Trego took his place and the responsibility to work with his captain to push the score about 30 runs beyond the target set at the start of the innings. Meanwhile Langer belted 112 with Trego contributing 56 to the 290 for 6 final score. 27 extras helped get us there but it was a formidable total to attack.
Gloucestershire were pretty circumspect about going for it as well, losing an opener early, Marshall at 9, kept them wary of the bowling. But the runs kept accumulating even though top 5 wickets also went fairly regularly, North at 58, Gidman at 75 and Taylor at 109. But Spearman was still there and looking too damn comfortable. Brown helped him add another 49 and within that time Charl Willoughby had been bowled out, Alfonso Thomas had effectively been hit out of the attack (although he only went for 5 an over off his 5), Wes Durston had been told not to be so silly as to try and bowl spin to him by going for 10 an over off his 2. Ian Blackwell was looking to hold down one end and the captain's problems at the other were increasing.
Steffan Jones now put the game back in Somerset's hands with 2 wickets in two balls at 159; Brown caught Hildreth and Hardinges LBW. We looked like winners again. However, Zander could not keep the Spearman down as he plundered runs off him, ably supported by Adshead who more than kept his end up. Ian couldn't tempt them, the seamers couldn't contain them and Thomas doesn't seem to have been trusted to bowl at them.
Steffan was brought back to try his 'death bowling' but it was too late. Pete Trego had no more joy at the other end and with 10 balls to go the winning run took the game from us and gave the points to the Gladiators.
Good game. Bad Somerset result. Sussex Wednesday. Turn the page.

Does anyone else agree with me that we should probably give Charl a day off. I've no idea if Caddy will be able to return anytime soon and we surely cannot afford for Charl to break down. So giving him three days of complete rest before the next CC game might appear to make a lot of sense?
As Ben Phillips seems to be JL's choice of new ball bowler, you could make the same case for him?
I guess Jonah and Alphonso Thomas would appear to be a pair of ready-made replacements?
Meantime, unless JL is going to put any faith at all in Wes's bowling, then I wonder whether we might get our first look at Omari Banks? I would have thought we might?
I don't really forsee any changes in the batting line-up, unless the captain fancies a breather after his big innings in this one?

Incidentally, is anyone thinking of going along tomorrow?
I'm still contemplating it, but undecided.
Does anyone know if we can count on proper ball-by-ball commentary on Somerset Sound, if not?
After all, they can't switch us to the Gloucester game tomorrow, but is there some wretched Bath rugby or something awful that they could switch us to? or are Bristol City playing?

Actually in the one dayers, Jonah is the new ball partner for Charl. Caddy is back in training as of tomorrow so may be an option for the next CC1 game. Turner may be in the reckoning as well given that he ahsn't bowled for a while and the seconds are raving about Alfonso after the game this week.

No, AG2, Bristol City played their first play game today and won first leg 2-1 at Crystal Palace. Bath Rugby lost 8-6 to Gloucs so will be away in the play-off first game for the winners of the Premiership (daft idea that).
So Somerset Sound have no excuses left.

Yah, Grockle, I meant that Ben seems to be JL's choice as new-ball bowler in the first-class stuff. Hence, if we were going to rest Willow (which apparently we're not) we might possibly have rested Ben as well (he was rested from the last FP Trophy game, if you recall.)
I think I shall go along tomorrow.
I particularly want to have a look at Thomas and also to see how young Mr Kieswetter is maturing.
p.s. are we any nearer to understanding that has been going on with Caddy? Did he really have three separate injuries? i.e. shoulder/back/neck or was it really one injury which didn't easily lend itself to description? The back injury was described as 'upper back,' which is of course close to the shoulder and the neck. Or has AC picked up back and then neck injuries in swift succession after the initial 'shoulder,' ailment which led to him being withdrawn from the attack at Fenner's? It's all been rather confusing. Still, if he is back in training, then that would be great news.

Phillips was rested because there were doubts about Turner for the Hampshire game (well founded it seems).
They needed him to take the new ball role that Turner was expected to take so I think Ben's position is temporary once Cadd and MT are fit.
The news is that Caddick will only come back when he is fully ready to work for the whole season. There is also a lot more faith in the ability of Turner than I imagined and he is expected to take a much bigger part in the county's year than expected
All interesting stuff

But they're surely not going to just leave Caddy 'training,' ad infinitum? Surely they'll only know whether he's strong enough to come back for a sustained run by testing him in an actual game - even if it's a second XI game, to start with?
Do the powers-that-be believe Mark Turner may be healthy for the next CC game, then?

I must say this compeition for places in the seam bowling slot is novel and really rather exciting!
Turner could be pivotal to our season given Phillips and Trego are primarily containers (not a criticism) and Caddick's lack of fitness.
It's clear either Caddick or Turner must be involved for our attack to have "edge". The you have a choice between Munday and another seamer, probably Phillips. I would not play Thomas since I really couldn't face a double Kolpak opening pair and I'm not sure many in the club can either.
That of course assumes you play 5 bowlers including Trego and Blackwell as we did against Hants.
I'm not in favour of De Bruyn although he does give us another seam option.

Thomas isn't an opener and they are looking for 'shock and awe' from Mark. There is another aspect though.
Steff Jones is presently doing more than making up numbers and as a level of aggression this year that I remember from his first spell here. He certainly isn't just going to lie down and accept a one day fate.

"Wretched Bath rugby", AGod2, there is no such thing!
According to my newspaper today, Mark Turner hopes to begin bowling again tomorrow after his "abdominal strain" injury. He is quoted as saying:- "The Championship game with Sussex at Taunton on Wednesday may come a bit soon for me, but I'll be doing my best to be fit."
Also in my paper were the headlines - "Somerset gain surprise win against rivals Gloucestershire."
Gloucestershire 23 pts. v. Somerset 29pts.
Let us hope that our cricket side can achieve the win that their magnificent rugby counterparts did!

If anyone is trfying to find radio coverage. Somerset Sound are there from 2:00 but according to BBC Sport there is live coverage on Radio Gloucestershire from 12:00.
Damned if I can get it! The link is there but there is also a great deal of silence or some wonderful Realplayer error message.
Why do the BBC insist on putting things on Realplayer only?

Radio Gloucestershire coverage seems to have disappeared now entirely from the BBC Sport info box so it looks like 2:00 before we hear anything.
The official line yesterday was slightly wrong because they also seem to have rested Phillips as Wes Durston is on the Cricinfo teamsheet.
Now will we see him bowl today? It's maybe because they look at Sussex and also that it may be a game too near for Turner (by his own admission) and Andy C has only started training this weekend so will probably miss it as well. Then again, as AG said on one thread - resting Willoughby might have been considered (especially as he bowled more yesterday) but he's bowling so well it's doubtful you'd leave him out.

Nope. It's on now. The link is straight to the coverage from the frontpage story at the top of this thread.
134 for 4 with Langer and de Bruyn in after short performances from Trescothick, Blackwell, Hildreth and a 30 from Kieswetter.
They've used 6 bowlers in 30 overs but we're only looking at the mid 200's and not a lot to accelerate with so it's going to be a long hard slog and a good bowling performance please.

No Kabeer Ali. Marshall and Gidman to open Spearman and North to follow it seems.
Tight and hard to score off is what we want from the off. Big score but a placid pitch - great support from Trego - as the commentators have just said. "If only he could do that week in week out". Let's hope he is going to become "Mr Reliable" in the next month and a half.
Somerset took 111 off the last 10. They reckon it's 50 over what they should have got.

Typically crass comment from commentators. If he could "guarantee" fifty at a 150 strike rate every week, he wouldn't be batting at 8, would he. The very nature of the all-rounder's role is that you kind of accept that they'll be unlikely to have an "every week" success rate in both disciplines. Show me any all-rounder, Botham included, who wouldn't have been happy to influence every game with one or other of bat or ball.

I didn't hear much of the commentary but I got the impression that Trego has only just come back to SCCC and needs to prove himself; no mention was made of his first class batting average of 52 in 2007.

I can never object to bias towards your own county, for we're all guilty of that here. What I find so unprofessional is the failure to do some homework on the opposition players.
But I suppose it's hard in the case of SCCC, consisting as we do entirely of Kolpak players imported from South Africa the day before yesterday.

The emotive issue of home-bred and journeymen cricketers has been raised by the commentators. Of course Gloucestershire are perfect in every way, but I don't think the SCCC situation is so very bad. Of the England-qualified players in this side we have four who have not played for any other county (Trescothick, Hildreth, Durston and Kieswetter - I include him, as he has clearly indicated his intention to qualify). Then there are two who started their careers with Somerset and have returned to the county after dalliance elsewhere (Trego and Jones). Finally there is Blackwell, who came to Somerset very early in his career (rather like Adshead of Gloucestershire).

Mike,my pictures are a little bit like the one Grockle did with the vast expanse of green.
Infact Grockles was quite Kevin Carteresque compared to my efforts.
Trigger was simply using the other Counties he visited briefly to get used to as many different wickets and training facilities as possible.
He's as Somerset as the Quantocks and was always going to come home.
He did all his learning here.
He just practiced there.

I found the BBC Somerset link quieter that BBC Bristol.
This is the link to all of the local stations. [www.bbc.co.uk]

The one at the top of the page has worked perfectly well for me all day.
Most enjoyable too,though I haven't heard Tractor yet.

What do you expect from Grockle, he's simply the best.

Banger has a achilles tendon injury so he isn't on the field!
With the present position, the 30 over target would be aiming for is 145 in the hope you hit double in the last 20 overs but it's down a lot to Spearman and we need him gone.
They are there or there abouts at the moment. According to Hurry we were looking for 260 and so we were also above the expected run rate.
The wicket seems to be losing pace so Blackie's 10 will be important

Who is this commentator?
Blackwell needs to lose 2 stone apparently if he is to achieve his full potential.
According to this font of knowledge anyway.
Trescothick injured,don't like the sound of that.

Let's hope it's just bruising,he has the foot in an ice bucket so that may be a sign that that is the problem.
Fingers crossed.

Sorted , I player radio rather than real player. Anyone would thing the Beeb had some sort of self intrest in downing the real player audio volumne.
Should have gone with the Grockmiester link rather than anything from Aunty .
Cheers Big Jim.
