v Yorkshire LVCC1 @ Scarborough Wednesday 17 September 2008
Day 1 starts on time but we only got half a day out of the first part of this game as bad light takes our 50% of the overs. Langer chosoes the following eleven;
Trescothick, Himself, Suppiah (hmmm), de Bruyn, Hildreth, Blackwell, Kieswetter, Trego, Thomas, Caddick, Willoughby
Welcome back to Craig Kieswetter with grateful thanks to Carl Gazzard for his sterling work during his injury. Arul Suppiah takes the number 3 spot, possibly because people expect the wicket to be slow and liable to take spin. Not as unusual as it seems, he has done this jobe before if people cast their minds back. Everything else seems to be in place as usual.

Yorkshire won the toss and here they come with the Mighty Goughie in front to take the field against his old partner in crime - Caddy

Followed by some new boy called 'Vaughan'
With the toss going to Yorkshire we find ourselves batting first and from a Chgampionship point of view this is not the scene we wanted to see after the first ball of the game

Matthew Hoggard gets Trescothick with Ball 1...not the breatest of shots Marcus Old Boy.
Marcus is on his way back after quite a messy swipe at Hoggy's first ball. Bad bad start Somerset and Arul is in a hugely responsible position almost immediately. Justin sees the requirement to be the strokemaker and takes on that role smacking 13 fours in an innings of 55 that moves us up into the 80's before he loses his wicket via Rashid and the hands of Mr Hoggard.
This brings Zander to the crease to establish the base for a late innings push. But, once again the scenario doesn't quite play out that way.

LBW to Rashid 6 balls into his innings and Somerset are 91 for 3
So it's down to Suppiah and Hildreth to get us into this game.

Well Arul seems up for it.
And so does James

Looking Good JH
The boys settle into the game and despite the stoppages and the early finish they move the score on to 160 for 3 finishing the day on 58 for Arul and 29 for James.
Hopefully wew'll get a full day tomorrow.

As for Caddick being refreshed we all know in the past Caddick always needed a lot of overs under his belt, I hope it doesn’t back fire leaving him out in the last match.
