Somerset or Notts

[Gazwag]

Noots need 10 with 1 wicket left not looking good for them unless they get a load of wickets

 

[backson]

Notts 9 down, still need 10 runs for their last batting point.
Somerset's score doesn't seem to have updated in the last 5-10 minutes.

 

[sten_super]

Somerset fallen to 33/3 off 6. I assume now they'll give it up and take the draw, hoping that Notts can't get the wickets they need.

 

[The Large One]

Notts make it to 400 - their fifth batting point.

 

[Gazwag]

Notts have 16 overs to get three wickets

 

[Gazwag]

who says T20 is the most exciting form of cricket, pah

 

[PHCgull]

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.

Agreed. Bastards.

 

[The Large One]

Lancashire opening with their No.7 batsman.

 

[The Large One]

Durham draw with Somerset

Durham 8pts, Somerset 11

Simple outcome now. Notts need three wickets in the next 12.5 overs.

 

[Badger]

Be funny if Lancs declare...

 

[PHCgull]

it would now - they are 11-2

 

[Gwylan]

Lancs two wickets down

1 more and it's Notts' championship

What an ending to the season

 

[PHCgull]

theyve won it

 

[The Oldman]

Poor Somerset

 

[Gwylan]

I wanted Somerset to win it but fair play to Notts - they got 6 points in less than a day, that's a hell of an achievement

 

[Gazwag]

Poor Somerset

well if they hadnt wanted 12 less overs today they may well have won it and look on the bright side, there is one more county of fans who hate lancashire

 

[Jim D]

Poor Somerset

And if Warks beat them in the 40 over final they'll be second in all comps.

 

[The Large One]

Lancs 11-3

Shows how f***ing SHIT the 'real' champions are.

Now they declare.

Just seen this.

I think that's a bit unfair, teams always prepare strips according to their strengths. Hove always used to be a seamers' wicket before we suddenly got Mushy and then it started taking spin. I don't see that as cheating.

The real travesty was the draw up there when the last batsman, Mike Bore was, by all accounts plumb LBW to Imran. And BTW, we lost by two points, not one.

 

[Simster]

Exciting. But only because it was a load of contrived nonsense.
