Somerset leave Bess and Joverton out, one spinner only with Davey and Groenewald joining Gregory, Coverton & Leach.
Somerset inserted.
Now for the frantic check that my whole fantasy team is playing...

Middlesex bowling first against Derbyshire. Dial M back in as captain...

Derbyshire attack of Rampaul, Olivier, and Viljoen (plus others) doesn’t look bad. Still expect them to get stamped on, mind.

Cameron Steel’s out ill. Durham have three debutants. Anyone fancy revising their predictions?
At least they only play Middlesex once...

From Dobell, this is worrying:
The bad news - for everyone, really - is that Jamie Overton isn't playing. He has sustained a minor rib injury that is expected to keep him out of action for about a week. It seems he may well not have been picked, anyway. He is still coming to terms with his new bowling action - designed to prevent further injury issues - and is described as being down on pace and confidence. I hear Somerset were instructed to have a speed gun on his bowling in pre-season training, which is interesting and also a bit concerning. It doesn't seem they've been doing that with other fast bowlers - not Olly Stone, for example - and you might have thought it put Overton under more pressure to bowl as fast as he could when he might have been easing back.

I will never not be momentarily confused by Warwickshire picking the other Ryan Sidebottom.

Had made all my changes, then with 15 mins till play Berg is injured and my backup allrounder is Barker - also not playing. I'd already made all 4 trades too.
Cue panic.
