Harmer wicket was massive.

Snater and Beard are both reasonable batsmen. It's the experience of Harmer that makes him more useful in this situation.

 

[CartyDurham]

Another beauty from Ish Sodhi and he bowls beard

Sams is going to be left stranded

 

[CartyDurham]

That was some shot for six there by Sams off Sodhi

21 off 12 needed

hardly been a reverse sweep all day

 

[CartyDurham]

.

Sams is flying another 6 straight off Matt Henry

15 off 11

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Sam Cook's a #11 - so Sams has to do this in 2s, 4s, 6s (and a single off the last ball of the over), really.

TKC!!!

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Decent catch to win it! Well deserved for Somerset.

 

[CartyDurham]

I can’t believe that catch

TKC takes a diving catch down short third man, low to his left full length and it’s all over

Sams thought he had another 4

SOMERSET are the deserved T20 Champions by 14 runs

15 wins out of 17 games played this season

 

[mackembhoy]

Absolutely sensational catch

 

[CartyDurham]

4 wickets for Matt Henry and 3 for Ish Sodhi

well played New Zealand

 

[Aidan11]

Well done Somerset.

Well butch has just answered my question re soft signals

it’s ok in domestic cricket but no longer allowed at international level

cheers butch lad if you are reading here

they need to get rid of "umpire's call", the farce that means if a batsman is given out then any "umpire's call" means he will stay that way, but same delivery and the umpire gives it not out and it's reviewed by the bowler than it is not out.........

bet if they analysed DRS decisions they'd find a heap of LBWs on almost identical trajectories to others and split out and not out, go figure

This is an interesting question and really comes down, at least in my own mind, to how accurate the ball tracking is. I do not recall seeing any statistics on this - perhaps others have.
If we are talking 90%+ probability of accuracy for balls in the ‘umpires call’ zone then we could indeed go for a binary in/out for drs lbws.

Well played Somerset. Some excellent Cricket in the bits i've seen. I thought it would have been Surrey's title.
