A big session coming up between lunch and tea.

The commentators are so bias towards Somerset it's unreal.

The umpires as well with some of these decisions.

Westley's lbw was definitely high.

Haven't seen dissent from Cook like that before. He really wasn't impressed with that decision.

Looked like Lawrence got an inside edge on his as well.

Add in how the only reason Somerset are still in this game is that plumb lbw on Overton that wasn't given and it's no wonder Somerset are appealing for everything.

Why is there no DRS on county cricket's big occasion?

 

[Shrimper]

20 overs to go.
Light is poor.

Serves them right for cheating last year

Pray tell-what happened last year? Not that I'm remotely interested in cricket (as you know).

They got a point deduction for dodgy pitches, the pitch for our final game against them last season was a disgrace luckily the weather played its part and the match was drawn. They didn't get their point deduction this year because of the short season due to covid, but they should start next season with the minus points.

I had great fun on my cricket club whatsapp group chat. I think I may be banned after two seasons pipping them to the silverware. If it ever goes the other way, I am seriously going to get pelters.

I did quite enjoy the banter on the sky sports YouTube feed during the game. Somerset fans calling us a one man team, meaning harmer. When Cook got his daddy century I couldn't resist correcting them that our one man team was Cook not harmer ?

Somerset CCC "poor pitch" penalty reduced
