Totally agree

Is Bashir now 3rd choice at Somerset?

Nope. Not at all

Don’t get the negative attitudes to a pitch that spins slightly.

It’s great for the game

Interesting thanks. I’d say Parky not been what we needed in CC

Parky is a one day bowler really he’s not really an upgrade on Trevaskis shame we could not of landed his brother who ended up at Kent.

The 2 excellent overseas spinners we had briefly last season showed the difference a top class spinner can make.

Fair point

That Aussie I thought was top class, forget his name.

I like watching spinners but 154/180 overs Somerset bowled and all 20 wickets were spinners.

Surrey's biggest wicket taker (9) was Shakib Al Hassan.

I didn't watch the match (@TheRey ?) but those are figures you expect on a dust bucket in India, not England in September.

Parky would be averaging under 20 bowling at Ciderabad.

Parky is a hold an down an end type bowler which is arguably what you need at CLS in May and September, when you just need someone to motor through a load of overs and save a points deduction on over rates. Trevaskis was too, and could bat, but he hasn't exactly set the world on fire at Leicestershire.

I watched a lot of it, wasn’t like that at all mate

That was mainly due to the ball

Parky wouldn’t.

Sorry Smoker but don’t agree, it’s a great pitch and it’s good for the game

Yeah agree with this,

He can bowl all day. Just needs bit more guile for day 4 in my view.

Todd Murphy?

Actually was it no Kuhneman we ended up with in the end?

Kuhneman. I know it was 2nd division but I thought he was really really good.

OK. As I say, I didn't watch it but I watched our stream against Somerset and the ball was ragging sideways and Leach had the new ball. They claimed what looked like a thick outside edge to first slip and it had actually turned off the pitch. Add in their shenanigans in 2019 and how bang average they were on a seamer's wicket at CLS, colour me suspicious.

The game yesterday went down to the last 3 minutes on day 4

It was a great pitch

No problem with the pitch against us, Carse scored a 100. They scored loads of runs

Sorry I don’t get your point

What’s the problem with the ball turning past the outside edge?
 
I see Kuhnemann has been released by his state team Queensland for 2024/25 season down under. Not sure if he recovered fully from the serious back stress fracture.
