Hi Keysersolze. Say hello to Julian from me. He should remember me !! if not he will remember my brother and brother in law who both played for Somerset with him.

Bullydogggg, what year did you play?  And 2nd team...

[Bulldog Cricket]

Hi Bully,

I never made 2nd X1. I played for the Board X1 and U25's. Board X1 was late 90's i think, can check on cricket archive. My brother played with Julian for Somerset 2's and my brother in law, Matt Cleal, played for Somerset for 4-5 years in the late 80's early 90's. He signed the same year that Botham, Richards and Garner left. Matt also has some great stories about Beefy as he used to stay at his flat in Taunton. Matt also used to room with Steve Waugh !!

Who do you play for Bully ?

[jandgcricket]

Not me, my boss (owner of D&M Sports)  Richard Mansfield played 2nd team for Somerset in 2000 I do believe, just wondering if you played together?

[Bulldog Cricket]

Don't recoqnise the name Bully. Did he play club cricket in Somerset ?

[jandgcricket]

Not entirely sure, he's been all over.

Oh and Bulldog, any decent websites to pick out old old pictures?

Pics of players ? don't know ?

But just spotted this on that cricket archive, did not know it was on there till now... Me playing for Somerset U16's some 22 years ago.....(No Swearing Please). Can't think of any of those who went onto play first class cricket but Jason Dodd who batted 3 went on to play for Southampton best part of 20 years.

Bulldog...100 runs in 47.1 overs!!! Must have been an epic to watch bit of a drive up and down the valleys to Aber been on tour there a few times.

[SillyShilly]

Aber, Aber, Aber - played there in first year of uni cricket - crap pitch, crap weather, long drive - cant think of any more positives for the time being!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Pier Pressure night club and the witherspoons next to the train station! Iv seen more people in my local pub than the nightclub at peak hours....

[SillyShilly]

Same scenario can be applied for Wales in general - not a place im rushing back to!
