In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board. As ever I am indebted to everyone who has contributed in anyway towards this publication. Everyone has given their help and support freely and without that this almanac would not have come together in the way that it has. Particular thanks must also go to Polly Rhodes the first team scorer who has supplied all of the match reports and averages, for both Somerset CCC and Western Storm, and to Matt Counsell from the Somerset Cricket Board. Once again Peter Lane has given helpful advice throughout, provided the player profiles and career records, as well as helping with proof reading.

  • Gloucestershire Vs Sussex Sharks Vitality Blast – South Group the Bristol County Ground, Bristol Sunday 4Th August Delray Rawl
    Gloucestershire vs Sussex Sharks Vitality Blast – South Group The Bristol County Ground, Bristol Sunday 4th August Delray Rawlins hit a superb unbeaten 35 as Sussex Sharks secured a three-wicket victory over Gloucestershire at the Bristol County Ground with two balls remaining. Gloucestershire players protested in vain when they incurred a six-run penalty for a slow over-rate, leaving the visitors to score seven off the final over. Rawlins then kept his cool to knock off the winning runs, finishing with five fours and a six from a 17-ball innings which ultimately proved decisive. Ian Cockbain had earlier scored 61 not out, sharing in stands of 67 and 38 with James Bracey and Benny Howell for the third and sixth wickets respectively as the hosts raised 159-6 after being put in. Having successfully chased to beat South Group leaders Kent by nine wickets in their previous outing, Sussex again elected to field first. That looked a good decision once new-ball bowlers Ollie Robinson and Reece Topley accounted for openers Miles Hammond and Michael Klinger in quick time as Gloucestershire's top-order again fell short of expectations. Gloucestershire enjoyed a much-needed stroke of luck when James Bracey was dropped at cover point on one by Rashid Khan off the bowling of Chris Jordan. He certainly made good his escape, posting 30 from 26 balls and staging a restorative stand of 67 in 9.1 overs with Cockbain for the third wicket. Sussex deployed spinners Khan and Danny Briggs in tandem in an attempt to stem the flow of runs, a ploy which accounted for Bracey and the dangerous Ryan Higgins and caused Gloucestershire to lose crucial momentum during the middle overs.

  • Wisden Review
    Schools Cricket in 2017 SCHOOLS CRICKET IN 2017 REVIEW BY DOUGLAS HENDERSON For the first time, Wisden’s schools averages include Twenty20 matches. Some see this as a step too far, as though equating a song from a musical with a three-act opera. Others welcome an acceptance of what, especially for smaller schools, is the reality: that many, or most, fixtures are 20-over games. Even in some larger schools with a strong cricket pedigree, the pressure to perform in academic league tables – whatever happened to the idea of a good all-round, liberal education? – has endangered all-day games. Saturdays used to offer a bastion, but more and more have become 35-over affairs. It remains quite possible to fit two 40-over innings into an afternoon, yet young players see so much faffing about from the professionals that 20 an hour (built into the regulations for the last 60 minutes of a declaration game) seems almost laughable. Another consequence of the relentless drive for examination success is that schools can struggle to field their strongest XI; some masters are forced to resort to complex spreadsheets of player availability, even for weekend matches. Douglas, are you happy with this musical/opera image? If exams – and the pressure they exert – remain the biggest headache for those in charge of schools cricket, there are welcome signs of an analgesic. A-level grades are now determined by one set of final exams, rather than two. The fact that papers taken in Year 12 no longer count towards the final mark should, in theory, allow greater participation.
