Even in colt cup match, Somerset shows their bias when selecting a team, smh! Friends and family in full effect, instead of the best youngsters getting the opportunity.
Tre Manders is playing Cup Match, damn Somerset you’re that hard up for a win and still playing Cup Match players . It should’ve been for youngsters thats not involved with the main classic. Another youngster could’ve had a chance to shine, how quick to discourage players…. And it backfired……. LOL
