Tuesday 5th May
Go on holiday for a week, and come back to cricketing
turmoil.
Before I start, I would like to see thank you to Jonathan
Trott for being a rock in the England
middle order throughout his international career, with the highlight being
winning the Ashes down under. Great servant Jonathan, now I expect you’ll score
a hatful of runs for Warwickshire.
So firstly, onto England ,
oh dear, something I predicted back in March; the statement from Colin Graves
about the West Indies being mediocre has come back to bite Graves
on the backside. Will he have his enquiry now before the hectic summer / winter
schedule, which includes the Ashes.
Well he better hurry up, the Test matches with the Kiwis
will be here soon. Somehow appointing Andrew Strauss as the new Director of
Cricket may not be the answer. The answer is getting the selection right
otherwise this summer could get embarrassing. If they (ECB) say England are
rebuilding, well that won’t sit with a number of critics as they said that
after the last drubbing down under.
Now onto Somerset, well I hate to say I told you so, but
they are struggling, at the time of writing Worcestershire were going straight
through the Somerset batting, thus making it three loses in their opening three County Championship
That’s enough about England
and Somerset
for now, and even for the summer. It is all about Over Stowey over the next
four months and their adventures in the West Somerset League. But please don’t
forget that I told you so about the predicament of both England and Somerset , I just hope they prove me wrong. PLease prove me wrong.
Ok, birthday celebration time, a day early I know. Look out
next week for Over Stowey’s Adventures in the West Somerset League.
