Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold

For Cheshire_Red, OFaz, etc.

See you for the return fixture next week.

Somerset hit the highest score in the brief history of Twenty20 as they began the defence of their title with a 117-run victory over Gloucestershire.

Skipper Cameron White hit 116 off 53 balls and fellow Aussie Justin Langer 90 off 46 as they amassed 250-3.

That score easily beat their 228-5 in 2005 against the same opponents, also at Taunton, and Gloucestershire were soon rocked by Charl Willoughby (4-30).

They fell to 56-6 and though Jon Lewis blasted 43 they were dismissed for 133.

Langer and Matthew Wood notched 50 for the first wicket in five overs but it was nothing compared with what followed when White came to the crease.

He produced a devastating display of clean hitting, crashing nine huge sixes as Gloucestershire kept putting the ball in the slot for him.

Veteran opener Langer was no slouch either, and played more correctly as he picked up 10 fours and four maximums of his own.

Gloucestershire paid the price for coming out all guns blazing and will have to improve considerably to stand any chance of making progress.

And following brilliant wins against Worcestershire and Warwickshire, BRISTOL'S only professional club are now 2nd in the 20/20 table looking down on the team from Taunton.

Cricket isn't just about bashing the ball out of a tiny ground full of straw chewing bumpkins, its about class bowlers like Jonathan Lewis keeping his cool under pressure to win 2 games with the very last ball.

Northants might be getting punished for the way their pitch was or something like that, what does that mean like the 2 points will go to somerset or what??
