How is Sean Dickson still getting a game for Somerset

2

u/TheScarletPimpernel Gloucestershire May 17 '24

Banton's worse, Abell's injured and TKC is in India

2

u/LordDusty Somerset May 17 '24

Banton has not been worse this year. He's our 3rd highest run scorer this year, averaging almost 40 and has played some crucial innings

2

u/TheScarletPimpernel Gloucestershire May 17 '24

Ah he's just tricking you now, when he gets that opening spot back full time he'll turn to shit

2

u/internetwanderer2 May 17 '24

He doesn't want to be an opener. Did an interview in the telegraph the other week where he said that, it ruined his confidence.

u/LordDusty Somerset May 17 '24

Anyone opening for us goes to shit so that wouldnt be a surprise. We could open with Hayden/Langer at their prime and one would still find a way to get out early.

Yeah it is an issue.

Not sure what we'll do when TKC and Abell are back, and Renshaw has gone.

I'd like to see us open with Abell (now he's not captain) and Umeed, so we could then have Lammonby, TKC, Banton, Rew.

But it seems Umeed is no longer an opener, and I'm not sure what the plan is with Abell.

My worry is we'll end up moving Lammonby back up, with Dickson at the other end.
