Billings*, Bell-Drummond, Claydon, Cox, Crawley, Kuhn, Milnes, O’Riordan, Podmore, Rayner, Robinson, Stevens squad for the game tomorrow. interesting to see no dickson in the squad. Think apart from the beckenham knocks, he has struggled to make any runs this season
Three immediate thoughts:
(1) Claydon and Stevens in the squad and potentially playing what might be their last games for the county
(2) Just the 4 keepers in the team?
(4) Darren Stevens was 25 years old when Jordan Cox was born. Prior to them both playing together previously, I wonder if we have ever had such a big age gap in a First Class match.
Frank Woolley and Doug Wright was 27 years age difference. There could be more from the old days.
This one is a bit of a cheat, arguably, but when Godfrey Evans came back for a one off county championship match against Yorkshire in 1967 he was 26 years older than Graham Johnson who also played.
As Frank Woolley and Doug Wright are before @Addick Addict 's time you understand
Forget about the youth we've got experience at the crease now - Kuhn (35) and Stevens (43). Would be a struggle to find an older pair batting together in the CC this season.

Another Billings' fail.....
Billings continues to give a poor impression of a batsman and is out for 4
To be fair he probably doesn't face Ravi Ashwin every week - who has figures of 10.3-5-11-2 !!!
105 - 4
Ashwin 13.3-5-29-3
Somerset 85-6
Warks 107-2
We're not the only ones struggling
148-5
Hopefully we can get a third batting point and, whisper it softly, a ton for God.
Come on get that 3rd batting point!
Come on Milnesy, see the old boy to his ton!
