Decree kitchen. Good evening 5 minutes past 6 it's the cricket show I'm Charlie Taylor with me is evening good evening I am very well thank you and we had a little bumping into each other. When did indeed in London I went to the game watched western storm get Sorry stars didn't know you were there and you were on par and vice versa so I didn't. Fear in the stands I was going to catch your eye anyway we've got most coming out for you very shortly we'll hear from Tom Abel looking back at the defeat to Essex which finished yesterday a bit of a capitulation as far as some are concerned we'll also talk to Anthony Gibson he's our man in the commentary box he's been watching a lot of Somerset tell us what he thinks is going wrong and how perhaps they can avoid relegation speaking of relegation but the opposite promotion Somerset's women haven't quite the opposite season they've been promoted to Division one we'll hear from one of their stars and it is finals day in the Women's Super League we'll be heading to the Henry Moran. Is there we'll have a chat with him and we're going under the floodlights one of Taunton teams has been promoted to the Western premier but which one all 3 were in the same division at the start of the season which one has managed to escape it and work it up to where the top division will find out all of that and much more besides Do let us know your thoughts on Somerset's game so far this season as well 034-530-3156 extension 6 is the number to call or you can text 81 trouble 3 b.b.c. Somerset. Now then in you would have been keeping an eye on what happened yesterday against Somerset and Essex was a bit of well just a limp end to the game really from Somerset Yeah obviously not a great result the stage of the season they've got to be put in then some some better batting performances and it's up to an end of you know sort of $106.00 or $109.00 you know that's not going to win you any games and you know like you say the prospects of relegation is certainly a real threat and looking at the after when the last 4 games certainly are going to have to do better than they have been doing and that leads into Essex by a $179.00 runs it's their 5th championship defeat at of 10 games this season they've won just one so far and they were bowled out as you say for just 109 when what they needed to do was back through 60 overs it's not impossible to do that a lot of the pitch was doing a fair bit to be honest but I 6 had managed to get to 300 yards going to say that you know their 2nd in his had managed to get 300. And whether or not it was a case of trying to just save the game rather than trying to win it because obviously the runs were probably going to be an issue. And you know it's the top order I think there are 244 at one point and you know you just can't do that if you're going to sort about for any length of time yeah well let's hear what the captain Tom Abel made of things he was speaking to our commentator Anthony Gibson I think you've got to give credit to the way Porter especially balls. You know thought there's a little bit in the work it all through the game and he certainly. Most of it and nothing you've got to give credit to him but you know at the same time pretty disappointing effort with the bike and not the 1st season. And yeah I mean we're not good enough with the but at the moment it's a simple as that and I think. They are formed in all areas signs of an improvement with the bat in the match against you. Sorry turned it down a Taunton but you seem to have reverted to type it's almost as if there's a sort of collective loss of confidence in the batting unit. I mean I think. You're right there's you know confidence is down as it would be sort of given the form of a lot. And there's no substitute for runs into the middle and unfortunately you know. None of our batting on it really are found any rhythm had an extended period of time crease the season so look you know it's an issue that we're all too aware of and it's still very well trying to dress in the nets and in training as I say sort of. Difficult to put it right to be honest and when it's when it's going against you he really does. Have one or 2 pretty unfortunate umpiring decisions to cope with as well. I mean it's. I don't know about that you know. The Cayman you know we don't want to come pouring decisions because you know even itself out over the course of time but. I guess you know when you know when you need something to go your way and doesn't you know. We need a moment you know maybe something to go your way it's not quite happening for us yeah I mean don't attribute it to decisions it's a man may know where to some extent go from here we're going to find that fight in the last thing as a skipper said you know but I played in this much I think the intensity and the way that there are 6 butts from compiled. In the 30 years of the game the way the one about it led by Brian have you got the playing resources to survive in the 1st division given the reason for the rest of the season you haven't got an overseas player and it's still a question mark over chain here but I believe we have I believe where I was just you know it was coaches try and get a lot of batting as well as a possible outcome for the last 4 games it's as simple as that I think you know our bowling if we managed to safe it with the ball is that we have Craig has been outstanding. Of all shows his class and I thought makes a promise in debut and that's going to pull a meter and a little bit unlucky couple dropped catches again. We won't quite that all game really with the opportunities that we did have we dropped you know they could have been 45. 95 in the 1st innings when the Bulls children and if they're still moving around so we missed some opportunities in this guy I think was just a little bit you know I don't know whether it was caught up with. The game or the wicked surprise a little bit or whatever but for some reason we were and this morning session was pretty disappointing from my perspective probably the most sluggish was seen really from some of the side. You know that was. Nothing but I'd shoot. To be got got it right in the 2nd half of the session this morning and over. Straight after lunch we got the 2 wickets and then really it's about well and for sure we didn't do that is there a chance that some set can stay up in do you think very very slim I think if they'd of come off a back of a couple of wins and some confidence and I think that you can go in feeling relatively positive but the way you hear them speak it's all about addressing things in the nets and actually they've got to start addressing things on the field and back in time and spending time in the middle it's key so whether or not it's probably going to be a bit beyond them I think yeah I might may not until my but we had from there the director of cricket and the captain 2 out of the 4 games remaining is to you have to pick out as saying they're the biggest games Warrick share way works or bottom of the league they have also want any one game so far this season how important does that game become to pick up points no bigger I mean it's a 40 pointer and you know you've got to go there and you've got to win it simple as that because if they don't get anything for more. They can't floor any points on them unless it's you know if you bonus points here and there and then obviously it's another game ticked off which leaves 3 against 3 relatively tricky opposition the other one which I am looking at is the last game of the season at Taunton against Middlesex Middlesex who are also at risk of relegation if some 2nd stay within say 20 points of Middlesex until the last game and then beat them at Taunton I mean it puts pressure on them but yeah that would work I mean it's risky leaving it till the last game where you know if you're on that one up then you know I guess there's there's an outside chance but they've got to win at least of the next 2 games and then see where they're at because if war it should suddenly get a victory from nowhere it's game over Yeah the next 2 games and works their way in Lancashire at home next year if been very good this season so we're not the easiest for Somerset We will of course bring you the ball by ball commentary as everything happens wickets go down runs get scored we will bring them to here on b.b.c. Somerset It's 13 minutes past. 6 next we will be speaking to Gibson who's watched a lot of some such Championship cricket this season we'll find out his thoughts after Bryan Adams live. I can't. Sights all you definitely ready feel 1st day yes I'm a show I am a transistor do you need help with your time I one step ahead of you it's elastic enough when you pen rule Square trying to help us all in the pencil case has no idea. And which you want Andy Pandy full Muffin the Mule probably the clanging us. And chilly the soul dull close. To the going to grow up. Sign in parking in the morning starts Monday from 9 b.b.c. Sunset Don't miss that Simon starts probably 9 o'clock Monday morning on his new show every weekday between 9 and 12 you can of course catch Simon in his normal slots more from 10 from 7 even every Andy from 10 Charley Taylor with you through until 7 o'clock here with him back well it's the cricket show and yesterday Somerset slumped to their 5th championship defeat of the season we just heard from Tom Abel and Matt main out about the defeat Essex Let's hear now from our man in the commentary box Anthony Gibson joins us Anthony your thoughts 1st of all on this defeat Well not very good. But it simply. Wasn't I mean I think it's just about the worst they've played all summer. You know. Because they yet again you know they got themselves in a position of strength you know the bowl this except for 158 in the 1st innings on a wicket there was give you know given the seamers and spends a little bit loose so it wasn't a minefield as you can see from the score 293 on it and they're in their 2nd innings and then twice the best thing that can down again and it's you know it's the batting that's the problem I've got the averages in front of me here and of the bounce from playing in that match none of them are averaging more than 30 the best of them is Stephen Davis on 27.8 and you've got the likes of Marcus Trescothick 21.5 James of the 27.5. You know poor old Tom Abel 17 innings 297 runs is everything 19 aked you're never going to win and if you're batting line up it makes I'm sorry reading the to hear those those figures we need expect at least 2 or 3 to be up in the mid forty's if not higher but last you know last season we had just got a killed wrist trigo and Rogers all scored over a 1000 runs and were averaging out. They're in the mid forty's or interest costs case over $60.00 and it's just been a horrific fall from grace on the part of the banks for the bonus of have done pretty well with the be no standout performances Don Bess's has continued his progress Janet Leach isn't quite the force that he was lost last year probably because of the 1st sitting nonsense over his action Craig Overton as you know shouldered the burden of leading the attack absolute immense I thought his performance over the last 4 days you couldn't fault it gave everything he got including with the bat in the last innings so it's not a bogus fault they've been they've been bowling the other side it's that the batsman collectively have been failing and so you do you think that you know it's time for obviously drastic action and you know wholesale changes going into last and all games I mean. We are in the 1st no change but who do they bring in where I've been thinking about this and I think for the last 4 games I think they need to go go with experience I think many to move Tom able back up to open with Marcus Trescothick sort of coming in at school so it's not about a my bird Camillo know that you know well my bird possibly Allonby very experienced cricket I'm not sure he said he wasn't fit for the 'd. You could hear the quarter final the other day and pick trigger you know it the last couple of seconds I'm going to summer certainly the scored runs in both games and for me gives you something in the field east ill hungry to win and yeah you know ease he's talented and just to push him aside seems a bit of a travesty Well I agree with you and I mean you know and I think particularly you know this is this is crisis time for us for some is that we're staring relegation in the face and in that no circumstance you need to fight and one thing you say about Peter trigger is he will never back down you give everything he's absolutely he's got no one I've ever known is be more dedicated to some sick cricket than than Pete and Pete trigo and to have him sitting on the sidelines when you've got the likes of you know no disrespect to Eddie and to Ross but they've only played 5 1st class matches between them you know and frankly they you know Ross especially has been looking at this depth number 3 to Scott it's not in great form they need some experience back up some people are really going to put their hands up in the middle order and sell their work it still. What would relegation realistically mean for Somerset County is not the same as focal where you lose out on housing. Well that you know that if if predication means we go down and we're in the 2nd division for one year and we come straight back up again that's that's no great problem. If we go down and we end up like Gloucestershire or dark sure that's the sort of term they can find 2nd Division the dangerous the richer counties the likes of sari and Yorkshire worship will coach all your best players were actually works for probably division next year. But they you know and I know if they ever since for example have signed new 2 year contracts which is great extensions to their contracts but contracts don't mean that much you know these days contracts can can be broken and you know with with. People in the piece saying that if you want if you want to play for England you've got to be playing for a 1st Division can't then that potential in England candidates like the Overton's like check each light on best you know how long are they going to stand with Somerset if Somerset are in the in the 2nd division so you know it's it really does matter that we stay in in the 1st division but to stay there I think we've got to win least 2 of the last 4 matches if not 3 the I completely agree with you there but I wouldn't worry so much I don't think about the possibility of getting relegated from players leaving or having to to go to 1st Division clubs to play for England and I think that that is an ideal but if someone is is churning out hundreds and taking wickets then England will always always have a look at you you know we've got some people in very good places and you know get get pushed to the right the right people spend money now is a good example of that was to shoot what yanks really hardly place in which the tradition. He's always winning the trouble is you get you get into the sort of Sam northeast scenario or Daniel Bell Drummond you know proposing places can't both I think ought to have been given a try go Drummond as opener and some ne in the middle order but and they both get run. People say oh well they're only get they're getting runs against 2nd Division bowling is not the same when they get up to test level and one or 2 of the course of the of the 2nd edition claims that they have chosen have been huge successes fought for England so I think it's probably more of a more of an issue if you're a batsman that if you're a boat but even so I mean some Somerset it ought to be a 1st Division can't have got they've got the resources they got fantastic playing sas The trouble is at the moment for whatever reason just not delivering and not playing and not fulfilling their potential anywhere near you know you look at passing lined up start of the season we also or Stephen Davis is coming in Tom able captain you know where we're going to score loads and loads of runs and then dump s. And gently should pull the opposition out twice on turning pitches which is a you know great strategy to have provided your batsmen score the runs and they have Anthony we'll leave it there for now thank you very much for your time you can hear Antony he's on our commentary ball by ball you can hear online b.b.c. Dr dk slash b.b.c. Somerset thanks to Anthony for his time this evening some really interesting thoughts that very shortly we will hear about some of the women they have been promoted much more joyful news than the some of that mainstream at the moment we were speaking to one of their stars very shortly. It's the Beatles and hello goodbye 29 minutes past 6 o'clock Charlie Taylor and him back all here on the cricket show now and some good news for you for the counties women's side after getting relegated last year they've balanced straight back up to Division one will be heading to speak to Nicole riches very shortly she took 5 wickets against sorry was also part of a 100 run partnership with Sophie lawful speak to her in just a moment here on b.b.c. Somerset in the meantime we'll going to have a chat with Ian about the women's t 20 which you for part of it all is yes I did 4 games this year yes fantastic and it's all televised and all on radio as well so for you What's it been like being part of that women's competition you know it's been great I mean the the women's game certainly. Progressing nicely the skill levels are there the power is certainly coming along and obviously the bowling you know there's some very skilful players out there and you know it's been great form for me in my side of it to actually witness you know in big games on t.v. As well well one of the great things about it is that we've seen county players come up through not just international players so one of them I mentioned there Sophie life she's the Somerset captain as well as a western storm player and let's have a chat with Nicole Richie's who's from the Somerset women's team 1st of all Nicole congratulations on promotion How does it feel Thank you yes it was great we had a great weekend of cricket and a convincing win at the sari at the weekend which meant we secure secured permission instigation want regardless of our fixture on Monday but always helps if you call game to spare to do you don't hear me say it was a great weekend of cricket really yeah it's been topsy turvy a few years and it was relegation and promotions as well do you think you can stay in Division one this time. Yeah very much so I think where young side we've been you know we've had young players and new pairs come in in the last few years but we've developed massively over the summer and everyone showing improvements Frew or aspects of the game and it preview ne the league so is why Dave can lank she came out on top of division one this year but it was all going down to the final 2 games with us and happy should be some interesting matches to look forward to next year and how's it being with Captain Sophie laugh what she done that helped the troops this year. I think these are very calming character of 9 Sophie for a very long time played. In you know ACB set up with her when I was younger and she's always been a very calm person she takes everything in our stride say I don't think much phases her and I just think that she likes the challenge and she fries if they say she she brings that to the team or is that what she's doing with western storm as well as I hit the winning runs against last brick was I think torn since she sent Pierre was playing really well for you then personally off the got now a winter ahead of you is it a quite want to do you carry on working throughout the throughout the offseason. Very much say trying did as much training as we can. Assign cricket probably have a few weeks off from cricket just to relax recover a little bit that night and get back into it is not just possible and train as hard as possible to be as competitive as we can next year well Nicole thanks so much and congratulations as well 5 wickets and 100 run partnership with Sophie who have been talking about that so you don't need your part to play in the promotion right so well done to you thank you very much Nicole Richards that helped Somerset get promotion to Division one this season we're going to stick with women's cricket Up next we're heading long life to t 20 finals day at home where Weston stole a taking on Southern Vipers in the final it's is now just gone past half past 6 you listening to b.b.c. Somerset's cricket show. Heaven must be missing a name just have our eyes on some set not of our a which would be I suppose slightly more relevant here on the cricket show it is 24 minutes to 7 in is here with us in Blackwell former Somerset I'm going to you for some of that Captain thank you very much how much did he spend as captain is what I think it did about all games or yeah I missed most of that season for most of us that Captain former England Test player how many games one rather one test you made your debut on the same day Allister Wright his debut Monte policy launch a person other than he did only Findon No 3 debutantes in one game and we drew sounds like modern England in the way that it's going so how to tweet in from Tim He says last year's success was all down to Rogers Chris Rogers that is this his failings are all down to Main aren't Do you think it's a fair comment no. I mean he could people didn't think that but you know ultimately I think Somerset changed tactic this year I think they tried to play on spinning wickets thinking that that would solve the 1st half of the previous seasons results but I just don't think that the square was ready for pitches to be taken spin the early on so much to take in isn't every cricket not just players about wickets and all the things behind the scenes as well and tim goes on to say Abel is weak and has to go I don't just mean captaincy has to go if only he and not hos had gone to work that's very strong opinions about Tom Abel who's of course a very young captain. I see we're going to disagree with that. In saying Yeah I think obviously Tom is a he's a lovely lad whether or not he's quite ready for captaincy I think that sort of proven you know the biggest possible way this year that he was beyond him and I think Somerset probably should have installed an overseas captain until the time is right for Tom. But I do believe he's probably the right man but not yet thank you to The Insider we often get on here Steve Jennings from the insider says all about opinions but I cannot agree with that statement that Tim said about able at all I doubt you'll find too many that will and Lee Hooper has been in touch and said rubbish so tim being shouted down on Twitter there so do let us know your thoughts we're at b.b.c. Somerset You can find us there let us know your thoughts on what the how the captaincy is gone how the season has gone for Somerset we have the next 22 minutes on b.b.c. Somerset Charlie Taylor and Ian Black well with you through until 7 this evening How's your club cricket been going this season played much I've played 7 games Ok you win this season not better and still Ok we've got the possible champions Weston super Mare tomorrow but I haven't made the side so we haven't made it exactly made yourself unavailable or because you won't play the last 3 because I was on par in the women's game so that's the reason to play to play the last game. But yeah I'm busy anyway Ok well you know you're not getting picked for that one so there's a free former England player anyone wants him and x. Rays you've got a game tomorrow yeah they're playing captains versus chairmans 11 it's like a big family do I don't pick on the chairman's that I haven't Yeah and they put me down on Twitter as an all rounder which I finished a lot on as before don't know my batting averages this season is it but them for which it was last year yes it is $6.00 It's 21 minutes to 7 Charlie Taylor on b.b.c. Sounds that with black eyes the cricket shows we can't change b.b.c. Somers. It is the greatest show on b.b.c. Some sat with Charlie and in back will now as regulars will know we've been closely following the progress of western storm this season as they attempt to go one better than last year and win the Women's Super League they've given themselves the best of chances the nation 3rd in the league and earlier today beating sorry stars in the semifinal t.n.s. Is Henry Moran is at Hove for us where the final is underway between storm and Southern vipers and Henry Good evening how are things going at the moment concerned by this assertion that you're an all round Well I've heard I've heard very much otherwise but in terms of what's happening at 83 is this goal we've got a couple of hours left of the 12 over southern Viper's a batting 1st let me tell you what happened earlier on the west and still winning by 3 wickets against the sorry stars it was probably closer than perhaps we were expecting it to be with just $101.00 being the target of victory they got there with one ball left of the 19th over last late wickets but eventually it was easy enough a run chase and they did get there with a minimum of fuss despite the slights of slow progress getting towards the target so the Vipers they've been going along nicely for the 80 for 3 with one ball left of the 12 over but good news for the West and storm is that they've picked up some important wickets in the last couple of overs particularly that of Susie Bates what a force she's been in the competition so far the New Zealand captain out for 21 the person to make all the breakthrough stuff on the tail of the West Indies captain she played very nicely in the match earlier on today $37.00 not out to she guided the storm through to the final while she did it with the bat she's doing the ball now taking the 3 wickets to fall in Haiti Matthew said compactly out for 31 court and bolt and George Adams the other would get to 4 stumped for just 2 Now the challenge for the storm is to displace this partnership of Danny Watt the England all rounder and minion to prey on the former South African captain why it is on a a level on 13 I should say to prey on the 1182 for 3 is the score we've had 12 overs and I'll say this is pretty finely balanced memory and see a black hole where. We Yeah well fine. Well you've talked to what's the atmosphere like down there it's good it really is I was at finals day last year at Chelmsford and I think that anyone who was there would acknowledge it wasn't perhaps quite the sort of carnival that they would have hoped for there wasn't necessarily the big crowd that perhaps you'd expect for finals day but of course it was a competition in its infancy it was a 1st year they were I getting to know exactly what worked what didn't hadn't been on television last year so this year of course we've had the bounce from the Women's World Cup which is created that extra bit of interest and unquestionably that's been seen in terms of the crowds that have witnessed the competition so far this year over $20000.00 have been in attendance across the matches during the competition which is great numbers for the women's game and it's a real sort of sign that things are developing and that there is a real growth and interest in women's cricket and here this evening I'm looking over tomorrow at one side and those famous picnic bench is that you get here Sussex a fairly well populated I can see there's plenty of those enjoying some picnics and some beverages from the bars around the back of the stand as well the ice cream van has been doing a roaring trade and I would say we've probably got around about $33.00 and a half 1000 in this evening and that is a pretty good crowd for a ground that houses around about 4 and a half so we're about sort of 3 quarters of all sounds like a really good atmosphere there and I knew I was listening to some of the coverage on t.m.s. And talking earlier today about how the international players not just being the players but the the overseas as well have been the real and the power hitters and the big performers and actually Something them play as well the English players you want in the international side of it have struggled a bit this year yeah absolutely I spoke to him coach Mark Robinson a little earlier on test much pressure I asked him about who'd co-design the competition what have impressed him what happened he was he was a little bit skating's the wrong word but he certainly said that he'd been a bit disappointed in some of the performances from the England side he acknowledged though that the amount of physical mental exertion that had gone into that World Cup win last month all of them up before last of course went into September now the autumn is coming but you can understand that you know a lot when teams about why. Cup victory and there is a little bit of exhaustion among the players unquestionably though they have on the performed in the main the standout players have been the likes of Suzy Bates Haiti Matthews for the Southern vipers and you look around the tournament those that are schooled the big runs tended to be those overseas players and that's I suppose what you you get them in for you want those big overseas signings to come in and impress Elise Perry for the lightning certainly in that final game that they played that victory against the sorry stars at The Oval she starred in that performance along with Elise for Lonnie how fellow Australian So it really has been a case of the overseas stars starring if you like and those are those a stars from the the England team from the Women's World Cup though they haven't played badly but it's not quite been the sort of explosion of runs that perhaps the people would have expected after the triumph of the World Cup Henry thanks for your time just get your thoughts where do you think this finals heading Oh it's a difficult one you look at the 1st the 1st matches so both sides scoring 193 after 13 I think Western style have the big advantage of having played on this before earlier in the day we had a good look at it looked very flat but it didn't seem to be coming on to the back with that much money Beaumont for the sorry stars opening the batting and Lizza will leave the big hitting South African Open and you expect them to find the boundary pretty easily and the ball comes on to the bat and it comes off it pretty hard again as well they weren't finding run scoring very easy and that would sort of tell you that the balls just sticking in the surface and that can be quite a difficult thing to get used to and you don't have an awful lot of time to do that in a 2020 much of course and so the west the storm might just have a little bit of an advantage when you look at that innings earlier on and the rubber bailed them out after they lost early wickets Rachel priest for 11 heaven like the one from Wilson have an England team going 1st ball l.b.w. To Mary's on Cap So you've got backed up power at the top of the order that didn't come off in the 1st match and if it does in the 2nd match is another boundary swept away down to long leg I mean you want to print some of the score runs in 94 for 3 if Mass engine room at the top of the only gets going has a little bit more confidence in the surf. And how it's going to play there's no reason to think that the western song Can't shake something heading towards what you think will be closer to $150.00 now with the score $94340.00 well we'll keep our fingers crossed course still manage to chase down $160.00 without losing a wicket earlier in the season so we know they can do it Henry thanks for your time today Always a pleasure and reamer on that front. For us it sounds like a really good atmosphere in me You've watched a lot of games you've been part of the games has there been an increase in interest this year yeah I think the House I think they've managed to slot if you're the games in before the man and the games I've done the scene over a 1000 people are at each of the games so it's been it's been very good and the popularity is on the increase and it was just fantastic news we'll have that continues it's now 40 minutes to 70 listening to the cricket show on b.b.c.

This week we're heading to the county town one of torn since 3 biggest teams has been promoted to the west of England prem but which one has taken the bragging rights in the town Richard Price is here from Taunton since Andrew set Cricket Club Richard thanks for coming in pleasure and as you've guessed from that you are now officially the best team in Taunton is that right well we like to think we have some tough that was during the season it's always good fun playing the local rivals Yeah and when you come out on top Yeah it's good news and all 3 big teams from Taunton that's that Staunton Dean and Taunton Cricket Club all in the same league this year they're all in the same league as you would be in good fun I mean one it's it's great you just play your local rivals. Have a bit of fun with them off the game as well have a few beers which is what local creates all about really yeah and just away from San Andres just for a minute the state of local cricket club cricket how is it in Somerset if I think we're Somerset cost of I think is pretty good but I think. I think Gordon itself when you look at the 3 sort of what I would call major clubs to turn the Danaan ourselves then the prefer that you've got stable Grove you've got Wellington you've got North present and you know an awful or cricket being played an awful lot of quality young cricketers coming through all those clubs you mention North Patterson We've got North Perth and Star What are you now in order all round. Just to all know that in the team I just had to most mention predators as black youth and then you're fighting. Relegation it's just about so I understand won the league with a game with one game to spare or more and we were virtually clear before last week's game but last week just cemented it against Taunton. Time as a sweet 12 home town against Horton at home so yeah but last week to morrow I think the boys are going to have a bit of fun tomorrow after it as well we might have a shandy auto and get to see. Represented in the top league of the West because it's not just some of the top league includes Gloucestershire and other local areas it's a tough league when you consider the likes of Bath who want to can this year and probably predominantly want it over many many years fantastic set up a club like that with you know yeah they're quite wealthy club. They put a lot into into the game and fair play to for winning it but it's going to be tough for us to actually without and you look at teams as a bridge will truck there is also good to have some cycles they've got a massive game to morrow Bridgwater good luck to them they're playing a bottom the title clash against caution with I think 3 or 4 sides from Prem one who could probably come down yeah so you know luck to them you'll be very interested to see which ones will survive in the ones you are playing Yeah I mean I think again I think caution which have been a pickup for many reasons already been relegated which is a shame for them pretty Bridgewater Porton. I think let's try to cover the sides a battling it out next week including Foster who have been a big club for many many years. For you then why do you where do you get your place from is it just plays or interesting tones or do you go to the schools because lots of private schools and public state schools and told them that you can I think people think with all due respect we do a lot of work within the schools talk to schools in itself are blessed with the private schools where cricket is promoted very very heavily unlike some of the state schools which is a bit of a shame really because you know there should be more in the state schools that I'm sure there's an awful lot of good young cricketers in them yeah but they do tend to come from can. Queens taught in school Jack Leach was Richard Harris was here he was yeah which is a state school in Taunton So you want to tap into that talent because there's a lot of people in Taunton So you're working with the schools which is a great place like jobs but they also went to Kings College Tom able to Google to mention a few so there is so much talent locally and you can tap into so what is the winter hold for the club and entries and just looking at where we are I think you know we're going to do a fair bit of work on our ground except for some things we want to do and bring forward is a development program for the club itself. May we go look to push try to recruit a couple of players to compete at that level and I understand that you've been bringing in because you also work for some 2nd sports the shop at the County Ground I do that you are my business is yet you supply Ian with his.
