Skittle them for 300 or less would give us half a chance i suppose.

Go Monty 29 overs 7 maidens 59 runs 4 wickets
People at Lords were mocking me when I was saying he was as good a spinner as Swann

He is, its his fielding and batting that lets him down (although he has improved those since his move to Sussex).

Excitment over
What do you think par score is at Taunton, short boundrys, wicket plays true, all set up for Banger.
We have defended the boundry very well keeping the score low. I reckon 350 is what you need minimum first innings.

Taunton is usually a 375/400 pitch, a spinners graveyard really........makes Monty's performance in this match even more eye catching.
England can keep Swanny we'll keep Monty, that suits me
EDIT: Just checked my big book of cricket facts, and Taunton's "average first innings total in first-class matches" is 360.

Nash amazes me, his strike rate must be amazing. He only ever seems to bowl 3 or 4 overs, yet never fails to get a wicket.

Lets hope he follows it up with runs, really hope the batsmen can seize this opurtunity, knukkle down, concentrate and build a score.

Being a Somerset fan... I am pretty dissapointed right now! Not sure we have the bowling attack (a lot of injuries hence why we got bladdy wayward mahmood) to do much to you guys. Warwickshire are gonna win pretty easy its looking though so its back to 20/20 and 40 over runners up again i imagine...
Good to see Tressy back on fire, 50th first class century. What a hero.

A very decent strike rate of 57.
Someone like Jimmy Anderson is on 52 in First Class cricket.
