Somerset signs Gemaal Hussain
Somerset has signed talented young fast bowler Gemaal Hussain less than two weeks after he left Gloucestershire.
Hussain had a brilliant first-class season over the course of spring and summer, taking 67 wickets. However, he chose to move away from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gloucestershire-c785 in order to seek first division cricket.
"As a developing cricketer, I could not wish for a better opportunity, and intend to give my all. My ambition is to become a successful England bowler, and I believe that the tough challenge of Division
One cricket will bring the best out in me over time," said Hussain.
Hussain has many raw qualities as a fast bowler, which will make him successful with Somerset. However, the pressure of playing in the first division of the four-day game may force him to refine his game.

He's at a great county to improve the parts of his game that are not so strong. Alfonso Thomas is the leading figure in the Somerset bowling attack who will be able to enhance Hussain's game.
"I am delighted that both Steve Kirby and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alfonso-Thomas-c991, Gemaal Hussain,

Betting advice
Hussain will be thoroughly tested at Somerset and it will be interesting to watch how he reacts. Don't be afraid of backing him to take five wickets in any form of the game at his new county.
