Shows the 13 man Somerset squad at the bottom. No, Tresco, Thomas, Phillips or Kartik

that's a shame

[ianbuchanan]

So who's going to be there tomorrow? I've just got my ticket

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

[Talisman]

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.

[Liam-SCCC]

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

[ianbuchanan]

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

[ianbuchanan]

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

[Mr Cricket]

Had the chance to watch Alam playing club cricket as he was playing for a club near me. Class act!

[Talisman]

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.

[ianbuchanan]

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

[Wills]

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.

[ianbuchanan]

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?

[Talisman]

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....
