Wicketkeepers
Hampshire’s McManus is our second wicketkeeper-batsman. He has impeccable batting credentials as he proved once again with 47 off 27 balls against Middlesex on 15 June 2021.
Batsmenp>Abell is the first name that comes to mind when we look for batsmen. His 57 versus Hampshire in the previous game between the sides and his match-winning 68 in 33 balls versus Kent on 15 June will convince the most demanding cricket observer. Hampshire’s Weatherley has been a consistent performer through the county season and his innings of 41 and 34 in the games against Middlesex on 15 June and Kent on 9 June are proof of that. In the same matches, Vince had innings of 34 and 31 at the top of the order. James Hildreth has been a very consistent batsman for Somerset, and he has shown enough evidence, whether with his quickfire innings of 31 against Surrey, or 39 against Essex, or 27 against Kent
