A Vintage Andy Caddick bowlin.g performance today took Somerset to a much deserved victory after a shocking second innings batting effort left Canterbury a chance of a win.
Caddick, who is likely to leave the club by the end of the season, once again proved that he is not a man who loses skill with age, capturing nine wickets for the match including a majestic display of fast bowler in the second innings that earnt him seven wickets.
Earlier on, Somerset had been sent in by a seemingly positive Canterbury side on what looked like a dicey track. When Somerset began their innings, it looked like this may be true as the Canterbury bowlers did well without luck. Agarkar in particular was stunning with the ball, unlucky not to take the wicket of Kalavitigoda when the latter was bowled off a no-ball. At the other end however, Khan, who had bowled very well early, was conceding runs, mainly off the bat of Pete Bowler, who looked in good touch. The opening partnership came to an end at 85, when Kalavitigoda rode his luck one time to many in trying an outrageous reverse sweep off the bowling of Clarke. He was bowled, and this brought to the crease the very man who had scored 153 of 142 in the last OD, Z Thomas. It wasn't to be a repeat of last weeks heroics however, Thomas gone for a rather nudgy twelve (2/114).
The fall of this wicket meant a drinks break, which seemingly was exactly the right medicine for Bowler, who had become rather subdued in a tight spell of bowling from J Schofield. But he would be kept quiet no longer. In one heytic and amazing over, Bowler crushed 4 fours and one towering six off the unfortunate Khan (20-2-101-1). This was to be the start of a rampaging session of play, Jimmy Adams (58) joining in the fun with some textbook coverdrives. With the score on 219, Khan finally gained some revenge by tempting Bowler into a stupid shot that landed in the hands of Matthew Sinclair. Thereforth many of the Somerset batsmen managed starts, but none could go on with it with the partial exception of Bulbeck, who made 46. For Canterbury the best bowlers were White who finished off the tail with figures of 16-3-49-4. The only other Canterburian who really threatened was Agarkar, who was the pick of the bowlers with an unlucky 18-4-37-1. Somerset compiled 366.
The innings break saw a disappointed Kerridge lecturing the Somerset batsmen about not going on with it, while Canterbury were feircly told that this approaching innings was the big one. The two teams strolled onto the ground full of nerves but also determination.
Canterbury started the innings well, Sinclair seeing to it that Wilson was out of the attack early. But this bought disaster for Canterbury, Morris producing a screamer of a deleivery to bowl Jaffer for 11 (1/32). Mills then partnered Sinclair until 106, until Caddick brought his downfall with the first ball of his second spell. Sinclair went soon after for sixty-eight, a lapse of concentration when making a wild swing at Johnson delivery that pitched way outside off. Chanderpaul and Raza both made 35, then both fell to good balls by Morris. Round and White both did their best to hold up the tail, but in the end Canterbury managed a barely feasible 272. For Somerset, all of the bowlers did their bit, each picking up at least two with the exception of Johnson, who grabbed one.
With a lead of 96 by their side and the knowledge that the opposition were under-performing, the two Somerset openers stepped out into the middle of the ground with a spring in their step. Yet perhaps Somerset had underestimated the Canterbury outfit. In two uplifting sessions, Somersets position in the match slipped from the grasps of a certain victory to a fifty/fifty placing. Khan, the man who had been slaughtered by Bowler in the first innings, did not look like the same guy. He tore through Somerset with seven wickets, and even took the wicket of Bowler himself. Somerset had stumbled for 163, Kalavitigoda nearly batting the whole time with a 63.
The Somerset mistake had cost them their advantage in the match. It would be safe to say that Guy Kerridge was not a happy man at the break. In the twenty minutes given, the words of Kerridge could be heard around the ground.
The coaches words had got through. The Canterbury line-up didn't just fall, they were thrown down under pressure. Once again, Somersets bowlers had performed when the team needed them to most. The 82 runs made in this effort was some of the worst batting seen all year round. Even the Canterbury coach was lost for words. Many accolades went out to the MoM winner Caddick, who in the second innings captured 7/41.
Well played guys, great win.

Warwickshire see off Leicester...
Warwickshire have moved within reach of their first piece of silverware in their time in WCC. Taking on Leicester, everyone knew it wouldn't be easy and it wasn't.
Sent into bat Warwickshire put on what the home fans had come to expect from their first innings. At 106/1 a good score looked possible with Anderson (43) and McDonald (47) going strong. Things turned to poo from then on though, with the only real piece of resistance coming from Howarth who continued his good form with a solid 66, seeing Warwickshire through to 256.
Leicesters reply didn't go any better than Warwickshires innings. At 129/5, Warwickshire could sense a first innings lead coming their way, when Maddy came to the crease. He batted very well making 108*, and seeing Leicester to a healthy first innings lead of 82.
With their championship ambitions hanging by a thread, they needed something special and as Anderson departed for the final time on Warwickshire soil, with score at 1/4 things looked bad, very bad. Ali and McDonald then batted well, before Howarth came to the crease, and put on a batting masterclass. Howarth was brilliant. He held the team together, with only one helper along the way in Hemanath Kumar (75). Howarth innings was only finished when he ran out of partners. It a flawless knock of 152*, to promote his average for the season to 79. Warwickshire made 338AO, leaving Leicester 257 to win.
Leicester never got their innings off the ground as it went from 2/14 to 4/87 to 6/95. Ponting tryed to pull off a miracle, but like Howarth, he ran out of Partners with Leicester falling 39 runs short.
------------------------------------------------
Northern Districts put up against gritty fight against Tasmania as Tassy only gained 15 points. Warwickshire picked up 12, leaving the two sides tied on 113 points. Heading into the final round its anyones guess as to who will come out on top. Look foward to the Division Three Four Day Preview Part II next week out after the final round of one day matches
"Good to see the lads grind this one out. Howarth continues to impress, with yet another strong showing making 218 runs in the match. The final round promises to be something special, with us tied with Tassy on 113 point each".

ACT versus Guyana
For the second time this season the ACT comets have smashed Guyana into oblivion. The Comets sealed the 4 day title by gaining maximum points from the match and Mashonaland not winning by enough.
Guyana won the toss and batted, but pretty poorly. They slumped to 8/93 before some good batting at the end saw them manage a decent 169. Gonsalves top scored for the home team with 41. Ramage the best of the bowlers with 4/42.
ACT were stunned early losing the wicket of in form captain Michael Dawn for just 15. the score 1/52 when Maxwell came in. Last time these two sides met in a 4 day game Maxwell smashed 258 not out, would today be a repeat?
The answer was yes. He was the heart of the Comets innings "Hitting" 269, just 1 run of equalling the WCC record for the highest indivdual score. Maxwell is determined to leave the Comets on a good note after the news of his contract with WCC giants Karnataka.
Maxwell was supported brilliantly by Wicketkeeper David Dawson who got his maiden WCC century. The young keeper hit 148 in pretty quick time. Jeffrey also chipped in early in the innings with 73. Also his highest score in WCC. The opener however has been ruled out for the rest of the season with what Comets officals are calling personal problems.
The Comets finished the innings with a massive 690 on the board, Darlington and Martin took 4 wickets each for Guyana but like the other bowlers they went for far too many runs. Guyana had very little hope of even getting a draw, so respectability was the name of the game i the second innings.
But like the first innings, things didnt start well. They were soon 3/29 then 4/35 and it was only a matter of time before the comets won the match. Once again a couple of late partnerships got the score higher than it should have been, from 8/66 Guyana managed to scrape past 100 and finish at 103.
Wagg with 21* was the highest score in an innings that consisted of just 3 batsmen making double figures. Ramage and Watson took 3 wickets each and bowled superbly for the ACT.
ACT player of the year points went to 3 S Maxwell 2 M Ramage 1 D Dawson. All 3 players stating a claim to making Oceiana's All star side at the end of the season.
ACT 690 defeated Guyana 169 & 103 by an innings and 418 runs.

Colts Win sets up for a thrilling finish
A dominating win by the Colts has set up a thrilling finish in division 4 with 3 sides still in the hunt.
After winning the Toss and electing to bat the colts men set about their business. Beasley and Shewag looked set for a hundred opening partnership before shewag chipped a return catch to brown for 33. Singh was out for 3 which brought Anderson to the crease. Anderson continued his great form socring 123, sharing in a 109 run partnership with Beasley who was also, ironically out for 99. The innings fell away from there, Boucher providing late resistance with 35*. Colts all out for 397. Thomas, Hewitt and Brown all taking 3 wickets.
Aucklands innings started positivley Howarth and Horne making half centuries, Symonds also making 48. apart from that however colts bowlers didn't let many runs through with bothe Beasley and Shaw taking 4 wickets each and beating the bat on a regular basis. Auckland 294 all out.
The Colts 2nd innings again showed the depth of the batting lineup with Shewag this time taking the leading role. Shewag was unbeatable scoring 160* Sharath (45) and Boucher (53) bth scored quickly in support as the colts looked to declare to ensure a result to the game. Colts Skipper Somin Katich decided that 335/6 was the right place to declare leaving Auckland too attempt to score over 400 runs in their final innings.
Auckland never stood a chance asBeasley and Faisca ripped through the Auckland lineup for 180. De Jong the only resistance with a stubborn 96*.
Beasley taking MOTM honours with a 99, 4/48 and 6/45.
Colts Manager Age_master said after the game "this was a great team win, so many players performed over the match. It Sets up a great finish to the season with what should be a great game against WP. they beat us last time and the boys are really fired up about this one. they really want to gain promotion and take out another title."

Auckland put on clinical show
As they've done throughout the season, Auckland once again displayed their mental weakness and the simple fact that they can't bowl, can't bat and likely can't field. Heads will roll...

Province Provide Last Hope
Province headed off the Australia, for a battle which would either end their season, or leave them in with a shot.
Victoria's Matty Elliot won the toss and elected to bat, and Province labelled him the danger man. Last time Elliot made 200 these two sides met this time only 3. However Province hadn't counted on the depth of Victoria's batting with the rest of the line up standing up, Hodge, Mott and White all contributing with scores of 50 plus.
Brett Lee returned the best figures in an otherwise sick bowling card taking 4-56.
Province batting looked shakey at the start when they were reduced to 2-9 with Inness doing the early damage. However the two stars of Province stood up as usual bring Province right back with Llewellyn hitting 110, and Rickman smashing 120. We were back on even terms, however Ashwall Prince and Ronnie Irani made the difference in the end each scoring good 70's proving the depth of the side. A tidy score of 507 set this game up for a exciting finish as neither side wanted to draw.
Nelson and Lee then turned the game knocking the life out've Victoria at 4-15, no matter how much they attempted to fight back with Mott and Webster, a competitive score was always a long way away, Lee really shining finally, taking 6-77 and putting Province on the plane for promotion.
Victoria however tried there best in defending 130, however with Irani and Prince once again doing the job victory was attained with 5 wickets in hand.
Game in a Minute
"Holy Cow, this is a situation. Look today's game was great but having just heard we're now in a tie for second with Canterbury the fun really begins now. The stars are going to have to shine again against Colts, and we may well pull off the extraordinary and get through, should be fun"
