*Official* Blast 2023

This lad Smeed is a canny player but this could be his last outing of the season, as I think he has given up on the red ball games

not sure if he is involved in the 50 over stuff that’s due, though he is in the 100 so probably not

bairstows fault there

Smeed's only 50 over game was weirdly for the Lions.

Where’s @Michelle Fivefer ?

her lads are in action

 

[kevinw]

Er, interesting inflatable in the crowd.

Where’s @Michelle Fivefer ?

her lads are in action

Michelle is a Lancashire fan. She just has a soft spot for Rory Burns and Sam Curran

 

[wpdavid]

Good grief, TCurran's sent down an over.

 

[CartyDurham]

Great review that time

I like how both boys have the same crap Stoinis mullet from a few years back.

Maybe she was dressed as Lanky and won the mascot race ?

 

[CartyDurham]

I heard a knick but no review this time

Probably his trouser pocket

 

[Yeoman]

Score rather flatters Somerset after the power play.

 

[CartyDurham]

Another good review

umpires got their ears blocked today ?

 

[CartyDurham]

Surrey on top here

think Somerset may not reach 150

 

[CartyDurham]

Great catch top right corner by the keeper

 

[mackembhoy]

Superb grab that like.

On Cricinfo: Weatherley, meanwhile, described Hampshire as "bitterly disappointed" with the outcome. "With Duckworth-Lewis, it only takes is a couple of guys to hit a couple of sixes," he said. "We still took wickets, if we hadn't have done it would have looked a lot easier. It certainly feels unfair when they've got nine wickets in hand to get ten an over.

Long thought DLS needs to reduce the number of wickets available in a shortened chase.

Tom Curran took a great diving , to his left low , catch right on the circle edge

124 for7 off 16.

18 balls left to get up to 150 plus

Totally agree re the DLS favouring the chasers everytime especially when it’s reduced runs to get, with 10 wickets in hand

Great catch top right corner by the keeper

There's the England test keeper in 2-3 years.

 

[CartyDurham]

Just remembered this lad Dickson played a spell for Durham

 

[CartyDurham]

Dont think they have enough 142 for 7
