Jordan Clark

Tom Curran
Laurie Evans
Will Jacks
Tom Lawes
Dan Moriarty
Jamie Overton

Jamie Smith
Cam Steel
The decision to leave your best wicketkeeper behind is baffling to say the least, smith has been poor behind the stumps in this competition and most times doesn't even bat.
If it was me it would be TC in for Narine and Clark in for the awful Atkinson, but sadly I only TC as the only change to the quarter final line up.
Over to you chaps

Somerset have a squad of 16, with the main news being the return of van der merwe.

Banton, Smeed, Kohler-Cadmore, Abell, Dickson, Lammonby, Gregory, Green, Overton, van der merwe, Henry, Sodhi, Goldsworthy, Aldridge, Bashir, Brooks

I'd predict Lammonby, Goldsworthy, Bashir and Brooks to miss out, plus one of VDM or Sodhi

Bashir instead of Aldridge and Sodhi over vdm, so bringing in the extra front line spinner for a seamer

Great bowling and fielding performance from Surrey there

We didnt really have the answers to it, so now we are left hoping we can produce something similar

No idea why Steel is playing
Abbott excellent once again

Good start from Somerset this

oh well congrats to Somerset

Well done Somerset, sadly, the thick brain-dead 'superstar' Surrey batsmen couldn't fathom out that this pitch isn't a road, despite watching Somerset struggle on the exact same one, no responsibility again, it wasn't even a game it was so one sided

Awful yet again. Apart from the Lancs game we must have lost about 5 of our last 6. Heads should roll!!

Think the pitch has got harder with each innings being played on it.

We arent scoring heavily again, but happy we are batting first, as could be harder again for Essex

Great catch to seal it for Somerset.

Well deserved from Somerset. A very well rounded sided - and the best in the competition this year. Hope they enjoy their celebrations!

15 wins out of 17 to correct Mark Butcher.

Loving it

Drink up ur cider!!!
