Is anyone planning to go to this, I've just heard what the scores will be and it sounds like it is going to be a great match.....
-
I'm definately going to go.... hurts the wallet at £18 a ticket but should be a good game!
-
it's a t20?
im going there right now.
any1 know a good hotel near taunton to stay at?
-
cricinfo says a 10:15 start.
surely, they would have started later for a t20.
im guessing its a 50-over/40-over match.
-
I thought it was a 50 over but it has been reported as a T20....
-
Corner House Hotel I stayed at in Taunton. It's not bad.
-
There's no change on the Somerset website..... and it says a 10.45 start.
Wazza your best bet is to stay in a travel lodge which is just off the motorway in Taunton. About a 5 minute drive from the ground......
-
Somerset Website only says its a tour match which lasts one day.
Is there somebody in the area who can find out?
-
I may be in Taunton tomorrow, if I am I will pop over to see whats going on.... No guarantees I will be there though.
-
anybody going to taunton thursday willing to get me an anti scuff? and posting it to me for use on sunday.
Can't get one around here and don't want to pay postage from an online shop
-
Reports from Spain suggest that England will bat first, Kieswetter will cop one in the furry fellas second ball of the 3rd over but will soldier on and finish 107 not out.
-
I've got £20 on Kamran to drop Kieswetter in single figures
-
I have just won £200 on KP making a second ball duck...!
-
Best carton of the day on the front page of the Telegraph......
-
Bless kamran akmal they all think he is spot fixing or match fixing because he is dropping all these catches, but the truth is, he is just crap! Gotta feel for him...

Shows the 13 man Somerset squad at the bottom. No, Tresco, Thomas, Phillips or Kartik
-
that's a shame :(
-
So who's going to be there tomorrow? I've just got my ticket :D
Hope some of the big names are playing for Pakistan, there is some talk of Yousuf, Afridi and Akhtar playing but not sure..... hopefully the likes of Ajmal, Umar Akmal, Haider etc.... I'm looking forward to it anyway :D
-
I'm going to be there, hope for a good game too. Pakistan need to put out a strong side, they cannot afford to lose this one.
-
remember somerset back in 2005, beating the aussies? I feel there will be a similar result.
i would love to go, but I'm back to school in the morning and then work in the afternoon
-
yeah we always tend to do well against international opposition.
Australia 2005- Won
Sri Lanka 2006- Won
West Indies 2007- Draw
South Africa 2008- Draw
-
Good game today, shame we lost! Good innings from Alam and Hasan, and de Bruyn batted well. Shoiab's first spell was rapid!! Good crowd at Taunton, good times :D
-
Had the chance to watch Alam playing club cricket as he was playing for a club near me. Class act!
-
Somerset stuffed up the middle section by not keeping the run rate up against the spinners, could have won with ease if it wasn't for that.
-
Yeah for sure Mike, I think the turning point was when Buttler was run out as I though 50 odd from 6 overs was probably just about do-able....
Yeah Alam played some really nice shots! Lovely slog-sweep from Trego for 6..... Hasan hit a 6 into the flats that was right above me that went a long way :D
-
8 runs in a 50-over match.
Imagine if Zander cut loose and won it for Somerset.
If he went at a run a ball, Somerset would have won something :)

I couldn't agree more! Hafeez bowling 9 overs for 28 is a joke!

You must have been sat behind me then I think. I was on my way back from M&H when he hit that and my daughter was sat watching below the flat. we were in section 8 of the Somerset stand.
-
I was sat on the far right hand side of section 10, the alcohol free stand... near the top. you werent sat next to a guy in a blue hat were you?
-
No, we were 4 rows back from the steps and had a bunch of loud posh boys behind us..... They must have been from Cheddar as they were talking about playing at Sidcot, which is a Quaker School I think....
-
Yeh sidcot is posh private school at the bottom of cheddar road! We used to play them when I was at school!!
Sounds like it was a good game tho....shame we didn't bag the win tho :(
-
ah right. i must have been fairly close to you then, i was sitting near to some kids some Kings college who were about 16..... if you saw me i was the big lad with crutches wearing a black/white striped hoodie.... :P
-
Plaster on ankle? Blonde hair?
-
thats the one!
-
I saw you come up to your seat, thought you might take a tumble on those steps, now I see why you have a M&H monster.....
-
Haha, Yeah almost fell over about 50 times today, aswell as last Monday when we played!
Yeah im a pretty big lad :D
And Im sure I saw you today Mike, on the fosters?! haha
