It’s one of the things some of these leagues have done is ensure there has to be some local talent playing, and therefore also learning from the best.
Surrey Phil Jul 2023 3:13pm, 15 Jul 2023 9,571 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil That's probably it for today. Rain forecast through to 10.00 pm and then tomorrow from 10.00 am until about 4.00 pm. I can see something similar to 2020 when the semi-finals were 11 overs and the final 16 overs.

England Vs Canada in the 1979 WC was the first game of anything I followed on Teletext. Scotland's women lost to Thailand last week. Who knew Thai women played cricket?

Surrey Phil Jul 2023 4:06pm, 15 Jul 2023 9,572 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Bowling a bit short in the opening stages but we're starting to tighten it up a bit now. Just keep knocking those wickets over and not to let the new batters play.
Surrey Phil Jul 2023 4:55pm, 15 Jul 2023 9,573 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil To restrict Somerset to 142-7 (19 overs) is fantastic. Especially after a decent power play. Just don't do anything silly now in reply!
Surrey Phil Jul 2023 5:28pm, 15 Jul 2023 9,574 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil What did I say? Got stuck into a just a run a ball then lose three wickets. I ran a DLS check at 5 overs and Somerset would win by 23 runs.

Surrey Phil Jul 2023 5:40pm, 15 Jul 2023 9,575 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Not sure to be honest. I still haven't worked out Jamie Overton's presence in the team. he seems to be that extra player in the school team who neither could bat or bowl. Yes, he is very capable of both.
