Ollie (on a very rain south coast)
What do you reckon folks? Does Ollie have a point?

Thankfully those threatening clouds I mentioned earlier remain in the distance and Edgbaston is bathed in sunshine.
The ground is pretty much full now and a Northampton flag has just been unfurled - it really is a fantastic day out for everyone concerned.
Lancs 41-2 (Target 183)
Image source, PA MediaPlenty riding on this pairing you would think with Keaton Jennings and Liam Livingstone at the crease.
The latter almost single-handedly hauled Lancs into this semi with a 45-ball 85 against Kent in the quarter-final.
But it is Jennings who is doing the heavy lifting here with 26 from 15 and a lovely cover drive from Lewis Gregory his latest effort.
Lancashire 35-2, target 183
Stephen Moore
Former Lancashire opener on BBC Radio Lancashire
Now is going to be crunch time for Lancashire. It brings in Liam Livingstone and Somerset know that.
If they can get one of these two out they can pressurise Lancashire. They also know that if these two stay there until the 15th over, the game is over.
Hurst lbw b Overton 5 (Lancs 35-2 Target: 183)
Image source, ReutersIt's all happening. Somerset have a second wicket as Matty Hurst is pinned in front by Craig Overton.
Full, straight, and not much doubt in the mind of bowler, umpire Michael Gough or Keaton Jennings at the non-striker's who eases the velcro on his gloves.
Lancs 35-1 (Target 183)
Keaton Jennings looks very much in the mood and has creamed Craig Overton dismissively over long on for a maximum.
Lancs 23-1 v Somerset 182-7
Michael Carberry
Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
That was really special.
Luke Wells has every right to stand there in disbelief.
Lancashire 22-1 v Somerset 182-7
Anthony Gibson
BBC Radio Somerset
It was a stunning catch because Luke Wells really got hold of that. It was well away to the right of the fielder who plunged down to take that two-handed.
That's a wicket that Somerset badly needed.
Wells c Pretorius b Gregory 7 (Lancs 22-1)
Image source, ReutersOh my word.
Luke Wells has clipped a bang average ball off his hip and Migael Pretorius has taken a worldie at short fine leg.
He had to dive to his right sharply and has pouched a brilliant grab.
There will not be a better catch all day.
Lancs 15-0 v Somerset 182-7
Excellent start for Lancashire with a four and a six from Keaton Jennings off Craig Overton's opening over and 15 from it.
Should be a stroll at this rate.
Lancs v Somerset 11-0
Aatif Nawaz
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
That felt like a Jos Buttler tribute shot that scoop from Jennings.
Lancs 7-0 v Somerset 182-7
What a way to kick off your knock. Keaton Jennings elegantly ramps Craig Overton for six.
That was superbly timed.
Lancs v Somerset 182-7
Right... here we go.
This a significant total but the pitch does not look demonic and Lancs will fancy their chances.

It's an extraordinary sight seeing the Hollies Stand empty during the innings break.
A giant traffic cone is being followed by four huge bananas and half a dozen jockies up the stairs.
Refreshments required...
Lancs v Somersert 182-7
Will it be Somerset into another T20 Final or can Lancashire chase these down?
The Red Rose after just a second title after their success in 2015.
Gideon Brooks is here to take you through the second innings...
Lancs v Somerset 182-7
Stephen Moore
Former Lancashire opener on BBC Radio Lancashire
Overton and Pretorius scored 28 off nine deliveries at the end to get them up to that 180, which we felt about an hour out was going to be a defendable good total on what looks like a good wicket on a beautiful sunny day at Edgbaston.
Lancs v Somerset 182-7
Well that was your classic T20 innings going one way then another and we've ended up with a target not knowing who's favourite to win.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore played superbly to make 81 from 52 balls but otherwise Lancashire generally had things in check.
But a couple of cameos and the last over going for 21 sees Somerset get a good number to work with.
Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
At 182-7 it does feel like a very good total.
Yet if you had Phil Salt and Jos Buttler at the top you are feeling like you have a fantastic chance of chasing this.
Without them, it does leave a lot on Liam Livingstone it feels.
Lancs v Somerset 182-7
Migael Pretorius also gets one to swing down the ground for four!
And then a full toss is heaved over long-on for six! Big strike into the pavilion.
Final ball is chopped to long-on's left and they charge back for two.
Lancs v Somerset 170-7
Tom Apinwall with the final over.
Craig Overton swing hard down the ground and finds the fence!
And then goes again!
Surely this is the wrong field with mid-off up?
Gets Overton to force to long-on for one next ball.
