Somerset’s head coach, Jason Kerr, has emphasized the importance of “righting a few wrongs” as the team heads to Hampshire for their third County Championship Division One match. Somerset has yet to secure a win in their opening fixtures, with Worcestershire managing a draw at Taunton and Sussex claiming a victory at Hove earlier this week.
Kerr addressed the team’s performance, stating, “The game at Sussex was frustrating. There were a couple of sessions that really hurt us and you cannot afford to do that, particularly in Division One. But there’s still confidence within the group and we’ve addressed some things over the last few days in training. We played some really good cricket in our first game against Worcestershire and it’s important that we don’t lose sight of that. We’ve had some really honest conversations and we’re looking forward to the challenge of playing at Hampshire. They’re a very good side and we’ve had some great fixtures against them over the years. We’ll be concentrating on righting a few wrongs from last week and getting the right result.”
