Cricket: SOMERSET GET GOING TO FINAL.


SOMERSET skipper Jamie Cox Jamie Cox may refer to:
  • The 2006 Commonwealth Games gold winning boxer Jamie Cox (from Swindon, England).
  • The cricketer Jamie Cox (from Tasmania).
 said last night he thought the C&G Trophy holders had lost the chance of defending their crown at Lord's on August 31 after an amazing semi-final at Taunton.

Opponents Kent somehow failed to score the nine runs they needed from 15 balls despite having four wickets in hand.

Having set their visitors what would have been a domestic record score of 345 for victory, Somerset finally edged them out by five runs when Mark Ealham Mark Alan Ealham, (born August 27 1969), is an English cricketer, he currently plays for Nottinghamshire C.C.C.. He is an all-rounder and is a former England international at both Test and one-day cricket.  was caught off the first ball of the final over.

Cox said: "The game was lost there for a while. I still can't believe that we won."

Kent captain Matthew Fleming Matthew Valentine Fleming (b. 12 December, 1964 in Macclesfield, Cheshire) is a former cricketer who represented Kent and England.

Born out of his time, his background was Eton and the Royal Greenjackets, his approach was cavalier.
 said: "I'm proud of the way we chased the runs but I was not very proud of how we bowled or fielded."

The other semi-final was rained off again, so Yorkshire and Surrey try again for a third time at Headingley today. If they cannot play the tie will be decided by a bowl-out.

SOMERSET 344-5 (50 ov; Blackwell 86, Burns 72, Bowler 70); KENT 339 (49.1ov; Fleming 63, Symonds 55,).
