Wouldn't say he was ODI class either, his batting isn't far off, but his bowling is fairly useless really.Chubb said:

No, we won't. Perhaps if they remembered there's a test class allrounder in these waters...aussie said:

Speaking of amusing incidents, I was at Taunton today (good win for Somerset by the way, despite some truly shocking umpiring - fours called as sixes, lbws given off the thigh pad, etc) and not only were there two, unfortunately male, streakers with about seven overs to go, but midway through the Somerset innings, some guy (fully clothed this time, but clearly rather hammered) staggered out onto the outfield as if he was about to start running around - but instead he just stood there at deep point, twenty yards in from the rope. He hung around for thirty seconds or so while the security guys were called, then proceeded to light up a fag on the outfield, and escape through the back of the stand he came from when he saw the security guys!

It was bloody funny.Nnanden said:
There were also numerous incidents involving inebriated crowd members and the Somerset mascot, Stumpy the......big purple thing, I guess. There were three guys randomly dressed up as Elvis, too - one of them gave the mascot a great big kiss. Unfortunately the guy who lit up a fag on the outfield wasn't dressed as Elvis, but I get the feeling that would have been a little too weird.
The Somerset fans who were indulging in a large amount of beer also took a shining to Callum Thorp, Durham's Aussie quick bowler - he was at 3rd man near where they were sitting and they were cheering every time he got the ball and singing songs about him, as well as serenading Paul Collingwood with chants of "Colly in the Test squad, Colly in the Test squad, da da da da....." - that is, until he made two shocking misfields, letting one through his legs for two and one past his right hand for a single.
A slightly bizarre afternoon, especially when you consider that Somerset's usual new-ball bowler, Simon Francis, wasn't thrown the ball until the 35th over.
