Goldsworthy helped to keep Somerset in the game in their first innings and won it for them in their secondAfter unearthing two precocious young batting talents in Tom Banton and Tom Lammonby in the past couple of years, Somerset have nurtured a third in Lewis Goldsworthy. In the 20-year-old’s first-class debut against Middlesex that concluded yesterday, he made 80 runs for once out in the match, with his contributions of 39 and 41 being worth much more than their face value. Goldsworthy helped keep Somerset in the game in the first innings and then won it for them with his unbroken seventh-wicket stand of 86 with Steve Davies after the pair had come together at 123 for six. It was the way, though, that Goldsworthy batted that marks him as an outstanding prospect. Mental toughness and composure oozed from the diminutive Cornishman.
