Somerset or Notts

[Gazwag]

Getting a bit tense, who do you want to win the Div one title.

Raining in Durham so Somerset are unlikely to get the win.

Notts need 5 batting points plus 1 bowling point to win the title

Personally I'd like Notts to win it

 

[Gazwag]

Notts need 113 more runs and then 3 wickets

 

[Gerbil]

Looks like it will be a draw Between Somerset and Durham, I reckon Notts will win from here. But I hope Somerset win it.

 

[The Large One]

Looks like it's going Somerset's way at the moment. They're on course for 11 points. Notts have 3 points, and are looking like they'll end up with 8, which would send the Championship to Taunton for the first time.

Notts will declare the moment they get to 400, leaving them about 15-20 overs to get three wickets.

Close. Bloody close.

 

[Badger]

Somerset have always been my second team (after living there for 3 years and living opposite the captain at the time)

I guess this season you could say they are my "Premiership team"

 

[keaton]

I wanted Yorkshire, but now Somerset. Think Notts will sneak it though

 

[Gazwag]

Notts excellerating a bit, now 75 needed, but just lost a wicket

Kent relegated btw

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Nottinghamshire,please.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Somerset still in with a chance after some quick wickets, but Notts closing in on 400.

Meanwhile Worcs now look like beating us in Div 2, but Glamorgan in with a shout.

Its actually quite exciting

 

[Gazwag]

Tea at Old Trafford, Notts have just got their 4th batting point but lost another wicket so 353/6 need another 47 and 3 wickets or 6 wickets

Meanwhile Somerset back out and take two more wickets so need 2 wickets and a quick 160 odd to win in about 20 overs

 

[Jambo Seagull]

For those long enough in the tooth to remember season 1981, there should be no debate about this. Notts beat us by one point thanks to having pitches specifically tailored to Richard Hadlee. It was a form of cheating and we were robbed of our first CC. Somerset all the way please.

 

[The Large One]

Somerset 181 needed to win in about, what, 30 overs.

 

[keaton]

Somerset 181 needed to win in about, what, 30 overs.

Just less than twenty overs I think, apparently they asked for 12 less overs for today so they could fly tonight for saturday's cup final

 

[Gazwag]

Somerset 181 needed to win in about, what, 30 overs.

no only 16 or 17 and there is still rain about


Notts still 33 short with only 3 wickets left

 

[Gazwag]

Could Lancs declare thereby giving Notts zero bowling points

 

[Knightsworld]

Having lived in Taunton for 10 years I'd love Somerset to win it.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Could Lancs declare thereby giving Notts zero bowling points

Yes, and be eternal pariah's and hate figures. Do it Lancs!

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Could Lancs declare thereby giving Notts zero bowling points

yes

 

[The Large One]

Could Lancs declare thereby giving Notts zero bowling points

Only if I could get tickets to watch the blood-ripping, maim-laden fuckfest in the dressing rooms afterwards.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Somerset opening with Tresco and Kieswetter; Durham opening the bowling with (ex-Somerset captain) Blackwell, the spinner. Its all very 20-20, isn't it, eh?

Meanwhile Notts need 14 runs to get their final batting point, with just 9,10 and jack to get them.
