Good news loading:

Been a bit out of the loop this week... Becky & I welcomed our Millie. Never known joy like it. But watching Somerset claim victory was in the tier beneath. What a result. What a team. Mils loved a bit of Archie Vaughan / Harry Everett late on Day 4. P.s. Beck

🏏Tried to sum up Somerset's win over Surrey yesterday, in the context of life. It is the first thing I have written as a dad! 👇 ciderpress.substack.com/p/unbridled-joy

For any Somerset Cricket fans heading up to Brum, here’s something I put together to try and make sense of a magical week #WeAreSomerset

Genuine Q - has a team ever won the Blast w/o an overseas for any of the knock out games?

Fair play to Gloucestershire. Outstanding t20 side. Restricted oppo to 124-9, 106 & 124 in their knock-out games. Can’t argue with that. David Payne is some bowler, by the way. Had a few years blighted by injuries, but since putting red-ball on hold, he’s excelled in t20.

Howe has used 15 players so far today. Not one of them arrived in the last two windows. Stalling? Ps Hall is not a correct answer #NUFC
