@CaveJohn6138 @antgib @SomersetCCC @TomLammonby Well it’s likely either that or bat big, bat once, so they’re batting last on a potentially wearing pitch. Either way, no way the Bears are losing there.

@CaveJohn6138 @antgib @SomersetCCC @TomLammonby Should’ve won at Taunton against them too! And against Glamorgan! Could’ve been sealed quite a while ago potentially 😢

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@CaveJohn6138 @antgib @SomersetCCC @TomLammonby Sure, but we’ll almost certainly need to win to even finish 2nd unfortunately!

@SomersetCCC Unless I’m going blind, page 16 doesn’t mention anything about voting rights, though, and going to the link for membership info on the website nothing is mentioned there either. This really is an important governance issue that should be made clearer for supporters.

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@FUTCH1999 @SomersetCCC Correct, and the earlier Yorkshire defeat not far behind that in terms of costliness (albeit a small bit of mitigation there when there’s Root in the team!)

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@SomersetCCC 😭😭😭

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@_seanduffy @GeorgeDobell1 Especially when factoring in Glamorgan’s woeful batting in the games afterwards as well

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@YouBearsssssss @SanchezWoppo @antgib @SomersetCCC @bbcbristolsport Don’t think we’ve ever chased something easily, so little chance of that! 😅 I suspect that if rain doesn’t intervene then we’ll likely finish 100 or so short. Nothing’s changed from pre-game where I thought Warks are favourites, rampant form, weaker opponents

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@danielchapman86 Totally agree 😭 not impossible…but it’s going to need a big effort in every facet of the game, and probably need a healthy slice of luck along the way too

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@HarryEverett_14 @SomersetCCC Sadly those dropped catches are looking costly 😬 (although batting being incredibly tough against their seamers costing us more!). At least it looks like Warks (the team I think will win) & Notts look set to drop batting points too!

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@tumbles_tom @JT_Jewell @SomersetCCC @WPAinsurance Agreed, that was an utterly spineless finish in that game, losing 3 wickets so quickly. Unfortunately the other one with the contrived finish was always going to happen unless it was totally rained off. Both sides needed to win, so we were always missing out in that scenario.

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@SomersetCCC Come on boys! Great win! Rest up well and then onto the next!

@TheCricketerMag @NickHowson @NickFriend1 Nothing about these Tests has proven anything more about Robinson’s fitness. He only played one NZ Test (the mad Lord’s game), and Pakistan have been poor: longest inns 50.5 overs, ave under 42 overs. I hope he’s fitter now…but not holding my breath!

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@jonboy_avfc @antgib @somerset @BBCSport Not quite. There are more bonus points AVAILABLE for batting than bowling. What we GET is a different matter…

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@GeorgeDobell1 Misleading unsuspecting people on the pronunciation of Frome 😂

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@SomersetCCC Fantastic boys!! So nervy watching other games as well, but overriding goal is to take care of our own business, which was done so well this week! 💪

[Matt Cave @MattCave_]

@antgib Not according to Andrew Samson, former TMS scorer. He says Abell broke the record with his previous innings, surpassing another Aussie from longer ago than that: https://t.co/WVLjMQhoOC

@AWSStats And adding further to this streak today, Andrew. He’s been in very good touch from his first ball today…unsurprisingly!
