From George Dobell’s report of Somerset v Warwickshire at Taunton
It's worth reflecting on Gemaal Hussain's first game for Somerset, too. After conceding more runs than ever before, Hussain was dismissed twice, for a pair, within 89 minutes on the third morning. Might that be the worst debut in history?
The Gemaal Hussain story has now gone live on the Gloucestershire website.

Remember - you heard it here first.
On another note, it seems that although Hussain ‘is currently weighing up his options’, he hasn’t yet agreed terms with a new club. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if no county actually signs him?
WORLD EXCLUSIVE
Gloucestershire are shortly to confirm that Gemaal Hussain will be leaving the club after only two years. Hussain (below) apparently believes that playing first division cricket will help him as he strives for international recognition.
The county failed to persuade the swing bowler to stay despite the offer of a new contract. He follows Antony Ireland and Steve Kirby out of Nevil Road and leaves Gloucestershire desperately short of bowling options for the coming season.
After five years of trying and four different counties, Hussain finally made his breakthrough in 2010 with Gloucestershire, topping the second division wicket-taking table with 67 wickets at 22.34.
A press release will appear on glosccc.co.uk later this evening.
