Blast Q Final Somerset vs Lancs

Undone tonight by a combination of poor batting in our last 5 overs, dropped catches, and poor fielding., and fielding has been our strength this season. Lammonnby should have been out lbw, it was a poor decision but its unlikely to have changed the result.
We just didn't take advantage of playing on an under 15's ground either, so short were the boundaries.

I've said in previous threads that we've become a much better red ball team,, we've been very impressive in the 4 day game this season, but in the limited over formats we've simply not been good enough.
 
hope the umpire gets a chance to have a look again at his shocking decision - or lack of it.
 
Great game and fantastic time in Taunton.

After the first five overs i thought we were on for a massive total and probably needed to get 200 but it could have gone either way for most of the game.
The banter with the cider drinkers was great and despite the result it was a fantastic night.
I have no idea why the ECB didn’t release Mahmood to bowl 4 overs . . Could have made all the difference. One rule for the southern teams another for us plebs up north.

To be fair that’s just nonsense . . we have a fantastic white ball side but through international call ups, covid and injury we were missing 6 first choice white ball players . . They were missing 1. That was the difference. . Saying that we took it to the wire so every credit to the Lancs players 👍🌹

It's all about opinions, so we'll have to agree to disagree. If you were happy with the poor batting in the last 5 or 6 overs., plus the missed catches then fair enough. Personally I was very disappointed.

I agree that we're missing key players to England, Covid isolation etc, but I just feel we've been better at the Red ball game this season. But I won't simply dismiss your opinion as nonsense though

My nonsense comment was about you stating our red ball team being much better than our white ball team . . . if you look at our first choice white ball team this season (with all players being available) - probably Allen, Livingstone, Buttler, Davies, Vilas, Croft, Lamb, Wood, Mahmood, Hartley, Parkinson it is amongst the best in the country and features several players who play white ball cricket all over the world including 6 international players.

Our best red ball team - probably Jennings, Davies, Bohannon, Livingstone, Vilas, Lamb, Wood, Mahmood, Bailey, Parkinson, Anderson have performed well this year but IMO is not as strong.

As you say it's all about opinions though :)
