Charlie Taylor was in the stands on Saturday while Sean Dickson was out in the middle. Together they run through that 12 hours! Sam was stuck on a train. Boo. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ok, ok, they are sorry. Very, very sorry. Charlie and Sam didn't anticipate a gap of nearly three months between shows but sometimes life gets in the way. Still, they are back now and the Blast group stages are done. They got together to review both the men's and women's campaigns, while also tapping into the mind of Mr William Smeed.

Charlie and Sam are back for another season. No new logo (yet). No new theme music (yet). But a new format. It is a cricket podcast but only sort of as you know it. All this summer Charlie and Sam will be bringing you the stories around Somerset cricket. Yes, matters on the field will be covered. But we want to get to know the players, the personalities, the bits that may not otherwise be shouted about. Plus the hope is that we will have a little fun along the way. And we start with a bang - not one but two Somerset stars who also happen to play for England. Yes we have Jack Leach and Dani Gibson join the show. You're welcome. Learn more about your ad choices.
