Well then...

 

****

 

Haha Lewis nutmegs himself for 4

 

The drop catch turned the game. Somerset have dominated since then.

 

That Tommed it!

 

WHERE BE THAT BLACKBIRD TO?

 

What a great final, well done to both teams and congrats Somerset

 

It’s all gone very quiet on this thread!

 

Ah, best team won it. But was a good game

 

Lewis Gregory is just a magnificent captain.

 

Shhh Gloucester boy!

 

I’ve lived in many counties but never that one

 

I figured it was the closest to calling you a skate

 

I once lived less than 100 yards from their ground, but that isn’t actually in Gloucestershire!

 

Seriously though, that has to be the best Finals Day ever, 3 absolutely brilliant games, all of which could have gone either way right to the end. Some fabulous batting, bowling, and fielding from all 4 teams. Chris Lynn’s century in the semifinal will live long in Hampshire memories, and that target in the final was always going to be a tough chase.

 

Congrats to Chilcs and the Zummerzet Zider boys...

That was a worthy game for a final between the two best white ball teams in the country. I thought that we had it but they never know when they are beaten.
Let's go and win the MBODC now.

 

Pleased for Currie to get his England call-up. But that's another player who will now be missing the one-day final to play in a pointless t20 series. And after he'd done so well for us in the SF.

 

Hmm, I didn't think he'd really proved himself enough yet, shown enough consistency, to earn a call up, but good for him anyway.

I guess that gives both Wheal and Jack a chance to play in the final, with Fuller back in at 7.

 

Obviously Washington will replace Fortuin tomorrow. And I wonder if either Wheal or Organ might replace Jack, depending on the pitch. But looking at the forecast for the week, I suspect we're looking at another draw.

Hopefully it's the same at Durham. Because otherwise, Worcs desperation to win (and just sheer ineptness) could hand Durham an easy win.

 

Somerset 35 - 2 Rain stopped play.
