Haha, ok, sorry - it was a (bad) joke, I just looked up a Somerset legend on Google. I watched a bit of cricket back in the 90s as it used to come on Sky after the football highlights (with Mullery on), but didn’t really get it.

I know mate pulling your long leg but I remembered this when i looked at the table and saw they were top.
 
Nice to see a few new faces in there. Hope Ahmed gets the nod, seems to have a bit of x-factor and will never get better in the long format unless he plays.

Ben Stokes, Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Matthew Fisher, Emilio Gay, James Rew, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue.

Yeh some really exciting names in there, a few coming from out of nowhere really too which is nice. Not sure Robinson and Bashir are the answer but we will see

I've followed Rehans career for years. He's a batter who can bowl in my view. But he is a leggy and you really have to be exceptional at leg spin to make it on the test scene. Exciting regardless. He's a lot of fun to watch.

Bashir I'm not sure about but we are so not spoilt for choice for off spinners.

Bashir left Somerset in the winter, not even sure what he has done this season, any ideas?

Our pace bowlers are a bit underwhelming aren't they or am I being too harsh? I know Archer missing due to IPL but can't rely on him, we don't seem to have the talent in that area right now....

Baker is a HUGE potential talent, I would keep a keen eye on him. There is another left bowler who has an action like Mitch Johnson, Josh Hull, I would love to see him progress.

Stone is bowling quickly
