It's my least favourite form of the game, yet I was glued to last night's quarter final between Somerset and Northants! Obviously, the pull of the cidermen was too strong and being a somerset-boy, I had to cheer on the lads! For young children watching, there wasn't much in the way of 'textbook' running between the wickets, but when it came to run outs, it was much more impressive! Northants were never in the game, 112 at Taunton was NEVER going to be enough; but when Trescothick was out early, I had visions of a 'Chard Collapse' but thanks to some lust blows from both Keiswetter & Trego, the Sabres were never in trouble!
So its now to Finals day at Hampshire's Rose Bowl - a whole day of T20 cricket (2 x semi-finals and the final). Somerset, Essex, Notts & Hampshire will all be in action, Essex & Somerset for me are the stand-out sides but you can never tell!!
Enough of T20 cricket - the proper stuff starts tomorrow; England vs Pakistan at Trent Bridge...
