equatorToday England picked a young bowler by the name of Graham Onions for the test series against the Windies.
If you feel the need, you can put puns in the comments.
Mr Onions was so excited by the news, he went forth and took 6 for 30 on an actual road at Taunton.
Durham had managed over 500.
After Onions had finished with Somerset they were all out for 69, with a bitter help from ex aussie Callum Thorp, and very little from Harmy.
It was a tremendous effort from Onions, I saw a fair bit of it, and he is a skiddy bowler at around 135 with a bit of movement, and every time I have seen him bowl he has impressed me.
I should be worried, here is a fresh talent from England who can obviously bowl and is about to get a warm up before the Ashes.
I’m not worried though.
Not even a little bit.
Why?
While Somerset got bowled out for 69, there was one batsman came in at first drop, and never went out.
He made 32* and looked tougher and better than any of his team mates.
His name, Justin Langer.
And while the Somerset batsmen, including ol’ blue eyes Marcus Trescothick, looked like shit, Justin just nuggeted it out.
In unrelated news, Phil Hughes made another hundred today.
