@BethWatson Something in the water in Worcester, the Warriors' rugby account is also slightly off its rocker.

@BethWatson Olly Murs was the nadir for me, unfollowed of a bit

Is it me or is Somerset batsman Adam Hose a giant among men?

@DavidHopps At least they tweet about cricket. I swear Worcestershire CCC stands for Concerts, Cakes and a Cafe these days

@DavidHopps Guess they only want to put of rare highlights like Boundaries

It's the DM, what did you expect? Shame on y'all for giving them clicks!

Speaking of vital to our T20 prospects, Johan Myburgh can't play red ball cricket because it will distract him from his season goal of trying to hit every ball he sees for 4

that DM article is an absolute hatchet job. Moans that the squad selection isn't exciting enough but also moans that there are 5 bowlers in the side. Moans about picking a guy averaging 100, moans about not picking a 20 year old spinner who averages 40. Moans that the squad selection isn't like the one day side(??)

by Will 7/3/2017 11:34:11 AM
@MattWarwick Good to hear. Think he's vital to our T20 prospects over the next few weeks

Rossouw's highest score since 12th May!

by Matt Warwick 7/3/2017 11:32:04 AM
Like that Paul Newman is getting stuck into Joe Root before he even captains the side, also can't get though a full article without mentioning Jos Buttler

Although Glamorgan have at least won a game of First Class cricket in Trump's presidency which is more than Tom Abell can say

by Will 7/3/2017 11:26:15 AM
@Will Although Broad at three as a pinch hitter? Go out there play a few shots like Davy Warner, Warney will love it

Decent nut from Plunkett, not sure Byrom should have been bowled by it

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 11:17:25 AM
Dreadful season so far for Somerset after going so near last time out.

Abell : no form at all
Hildreth : worse form than Abell
Trego : in bad form, dropped to 2s
Jamie Overton : finally gets his mojo going and injured on Lions duty

can't wait for Division 2

@GeorgePotter19 Don't think they have, they called him up to a Lions game last week. He didn't bowl well in the CC last summer 8 wickets in 10 games at an average of 60. I suppose England are also reluctant to create a 3 format bowler and there are other younger (if were honest) options

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 11:14:54 AM
@GeorgePotter19 because he averaged 60 in the Championship last year?

by Will 7/3/2017 11:14:16 AM
As had Yorkshire Brendan

by Courtney Nangle 7/3/2017 11:13:28 AM
I'm not sure why England have seemed to rule out the possibility of Plunkett ever playing a test again

by GeorgePotter19 7/3/2017 11:13:16 AM
Abell average over the last 2 games: 1.00
Rouse average over the last 1 game: 1.00

Can't say we're not consistent

by Will 7/3/2017 11:10:35 AM
Plunkers! I'd almost forgotten he plays for Yorkshire.

by Brendan Mulcahy 7/3/2017 11:09:11 AM
Don't think Rouse understood what the team wanted when they said replace Abell...

Plunkett into the attack

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 11:07:54 AM
Byrom has 5 off 43 and apparently this scores me negative fantasy points? Pathetic

by Will 7/3/2017 10:58:05 AM
@nickcricket. Swapped Ballance for Handscomb in my fantasy team - he's under far more pressure now than he realises.

by Brendan Mulcahy 7/3/2017 10:57:38 AM
It is nice to back to the 11 o'clock start think the 2pm nonsense can be saved for 1 day stuff

by Lawrence Payne 7/3/2017 10:52:32 AM
I prefer his action to Footitts! Always looks like Footitt is going to kick or punch the umpire as he releases!
