Quite possibly, although it's very rare for Canterbury to be penalised, and their batting has been poor for most of the season. I'd hoped that Key, relieved of the pressures of captaincy, might have a good season, but it hasn't really happened for him yet. 19 ahead with two wickets left, it looks pretty hopeless.

Can't understand why they've dropped Bell-Drummond really. Alan Richardson doing alright, would have been a better buy in the IPL then Kane......

[stumpski]

Essex losing their way a little - Bopara and Napier out - still only a run a ball needed but this could go down to the wire.

[Marcuss]

Tremlett bowling well.

[flibbertyjibber]

Tremlett bowling well.

About time.

[grecian]

Good ol' Dirtbag, manages to go at 7 an over, when Surrey are all over the batting side. Really needs to become a Championship specialist.

[superkingdave]

Pazza weaving his magic. 60-0 after 8 overs to 77/4 after 16.3 lol

Surrey with a massive tail as well, we might not be out of this yet

[Pothas]

About time.

Been injured for a year, you can't expect him to be on top form straight away.

[Marcuss]

Before today, Chris Dent had 160 OD runs @ 16 with a HS of 36.
Now has 311 @ 31.1 with a HS of 151*
Standard.

Batting first against Somerset on a flat deck must be horrible. You can't feel safe no matter what you get.

[Marcuss]

Go Unicorns go.

Jos not going to get a hit

[Cabinet96]

Nice average booster.

[grecian]

Yeah, the gulf between Somersets one-day batting, and the batting in the real stuff is truly massive.

Still, just hope this season they stay up, and win some kind of one-day trophy.

[Cabinet96]

Yeah, anywhere in the top 7 in the Championship and one day silverware would be a great season for Somerset IMO. As I said earlier in the thread, I think they're at a bit of a crossroads though, and it'll be a testing couple of seasons for them.

[Pothas]

Hampshire rather similar, excellent win and brilliant from Dawson at the end.

I know Carberry has no chance of making the England side but his pro40 form has been fantastic in the last year.

[luckyeddie]

Derby lost again.

It wouldn't be Derby if they didn't. Only Derbyshire could have a player score 270* carrying his bat in the first innings - and still lose.

I'm only relieved that they have already managed to beat Derby County's 11 points in the Premier League from a few years back.
