Impressive stuff from Parkinson, especially only having taken 1/81 the previous day.
The batting line up has always looked good on paper but it has only really been vilas who can consistently put in performances, the pace attack is potentially good but much the same as last year and this leggie has been around for a while and has barely ever ran through a side and lots of his wickets weren't good deliveries. This was one off game against an out of form team and nothing suggest to me they are anything other than just a slightly above average countyLancs are the county to beat this season for me. Very strong batting, excellent pace attack and a leggie to run through the tail.
trj looked serious. still capable of extracting that surprising bounce from a good length.How's TRJ bowling, forgotten man of English cricket, but when we get the inevitable pile-up of injuries, maybe interesting to see if he gets a Test or two in the home series, if properly fit should be in consideration IMHO.
jack Leach to be Somersets regular number 5, nice to see some stability, and non-stupidity in the top-order.
How come you're a Kent supporter?It’s just a shame Kent followed up 138 with 74 and set Glamorgan 16 to win. It’s getting a tad ridiculous.
My father’s side of the family came to Devon from Kent in the 1930’s.How come you're a Kent supporter?
So you weren't tempted to rebel against your dad and align yourself to Somerset, what with them being your nearest FC county? I'm guessing you were just too young to enjoy Kent's golden years in the very early 1970s.My father’s side of the family came to Devon from Kent in the 1930’s.
I went to Taunton regularly during the Botham/Garner/Richards era. My father died in 1968 so I wasn’t really press ganged into following Kent, I just always did because of the family connection. I remember the trophies clearly from around 74 onwards.So you weren't tempted to rebel against your dad and align yourself to Somerset, what with them being your nearest FC county?
