We are delighted to announce that our guest speaker for the next Walkers & Talkers in partnership with Somerset Cricket Foundation on Tuesday 17th December is former cricketer Keith Parsons.Keith was Somerset through and through, born and educated in Taunton and on the Somerset books from an early age. He represented England Schools at U-15 and U-19 level before making his Somerset debut in 1992 when identical twin Kevin was also on the staff. The following year he was named as the county's Young Player of the Year and was a virtual ever-present since. In 2000 he made 193 against the touring West Indies produced his career-best first-class bowling figures for 5 for 13 against Lancashire. The following summer he made 60 off 52 balls in the C&G final and in 2005 was Somerset's leading run-scorer in the National League as well as being in all matches in the successful Twenty20 Cup campaign. However, his opportunities at the club became increasingly limited, and he wasn't picked throughout 2008 - the catalyst which prompted his retirement after a 16-year career. He pledged to represent Cornwall in the Minor Counties for 2009.
It’s FREE to attend and is a wonderful opportunity to come together to enjoy a complimentary cuppa, a stroll around the Cooper Associates County Ground, a visit to the Somerset Cricket Museum and an entertaining Q&A.
