A good day for Jon Lewis
Is it fair to call Jon Lewis a 'forgotten man'? We're not sure. He doesn't seem to get mentioned all that much these days, but he's one of county cricket's most consistent performers. Perhaps it's his age. He's 30 now.He ruined Marcus Trescothick's comeback match trapping him lbw for 11 (why is it always a 'trap'?) on his way to 7-38 in Somerset's first innings. Gloucestershire enforced the follow-on and he's got 2-13 in the second innings.
Gloucestershire reached 437 in their first innings. Bad bowling? A fast deteriorating pitch? We don't know. We haven't seen any coverage, but Lewis' figures are far better than anyone else in the match.

It is quite hilarious to see him get out twice in a day. Not exactly a frequent occurence!
Who is calling him a forgotten man? Aside from you just then.
Well we're not sure he warrants the term 'forgotten man' because he wasn't that widely known anyway. That's all we're wondering.
He was fairly well-regarded in the British media, but he seems to have slipped down the pecking order through no real fault of his own.
I forgot him yesterday when I was out doing the big shop
