yeah i think bath will struggle to get their ground ready after the recent weather! i doubt they have top class covers and i bet their groundsman is losing sleep at night!!

If anyone has the money to prep a wicket it is Bath.

Where's the bath pitch is it just down the road from the hospital? Don't think iv been there and got to meet up with a lad in April who wants a lid Ireland player or something who's on pre-season tour

Opposite the pavilion, just down from the river. I hit a straight six over the road there in a cup game, played for Midsomer Norton and it was a top track too.

went to a few somerset games now. saw about 20 overs of the derbyshire game at taunton, about 30 overs of the glamorgan game at taunton and also popped in to see some of the game against cardiff uni at taunton vale today, where i casually parked into a space between Craig Kieswetters Range Rover and Marcus Trescothick's Beamer!

You say that with sarcasm, but i'd rather that attack than one with ryan sidebottom in! anyways, who else is there around that offers something different in the seam attack? there's also james harris, chris woakes, and a few others around who are decent bets for the future england side... but they're all right armers!

No sarcasm meant there mate. Just off the top of my head naming a few England seamers who I think are best placed for the test team.

haha fair play, just assumed that you were saying they were all right-arm swing bowlers! no offence intended  ;)

Nah none taken :)

I think we lack someone like Hoggard who could swing the ball miles. Harmison still worth a run?

No, never, not a chance
