Somerset v Derbyshire preview

Tom Wood replaces Harvey Hosein and Alex Thomson comes into the thirteen - man squad that is otherwise what played against Leicestershire.

George Scrimshaw appears to be over the foot injury that ruled him out of that game and the thirteen is:

Godleman, Came, Wood, Guest, FHP, McKiernan, Dal, Thomson, Priestley, Marshall, Aitchison, Rampaul, Scrimshaw.

Logically, either Aitchison or Scrimshaw will miss out, or two of the four spinners. Hopefully we can get runs, on the board more quickly and give the bowlers something to work with.

Somerset won this competition in 2019 and even in the absence of a number of top players will be good opponents. They lost to Cornwall in a warm up match in the week, when the team was:

Byrom, Young, Nartkett, Goldsworthy, Thomas, Baird, Green, Aldridge, Leach, Leonard, Baker. 

No side announced by them yet, but this is a game that Derbyshire have a decent chance of winning. 

I guess we will find out tomorrow.. 

Postscript: announced Somerset squad:

Ben Green, Kasey Aldridge, Sonny Baker, George Bartlett, Eddie Byrom, Jack Brooks, Josh Davey, Steve Davies, James Hildreth, Lewis Goldsworthy, Jack Leach, Ned Leonard, James Rew and Sam Young.

Quite a bit stronger...
