Taunton is the destination tomorrow, with considerably better weather forecast than we "enjoyed" last week. It's difficult to know what to make of Somerset, having just missed out on the title two years ago and just missed out on relegation last year, but there's no doubting the quality of a side that boasts the Overtons, Dom Bess and Jack Leach, to say nothing of Trescothick and Hildreth anchoring the batting line-up.
If Worcestershire have any intention of making a fist of it this season, the one thing they can't afford is back to back defeats at any point, least of all the first two games. The errors and lapses in concentration that marked last weekend's opener have got to go, and quickly. I imagine the toss will be contested, and winning it will be vital. A draw would be a platform to build from; come on you Pears.
