<Dream11 Fantasy Team
<Wicketkeepers
Banton is the wicketkeeper of our dream11. Earlier in the county season, Banton had starts that he did not convert. But in the latest game against Hampshire, he struck a rich vein of form, scoring 45 and 51 not out.
<Batsmen
Westley, Abell and Cook fill the three batting slots in our dream11. Abell has been one of the most consistent batsmen for Somerset, with innings of 84, 88, 41, 49, 64, and 98 to show for his effort. He has also taken wickets with his occasional bowling. Cook needs no introduction. He has had some good innings including a ton against Worcestershire this season. Westley has been Essex’s in form batsmen with a ton and a double ton. In the latest game against Notts, he scored 71, underscoring his dominance.
