Somerset v Australia

[Hong Kong Blue]

Check out the scorecard!

The convicts made 342 in 50 overs, but are looking like being thrashed, again, provided Somerset can score 100 off the last 20 overs (ie 5 an over) with 8 wickets remaining.

Come on Blackwell.

What a phenomenal opening by the two international captains nestling at the top of Somerset's order - Graeme Smith and Sanath Jayasuriya:

Somerset innings *

Batsman * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Runs Balls 4s 6s
GC Smith * * * st Haddin *b Clarke * * 108 *74 *17 1
ST Jayasuriya c Hussey *b McGrath *101 *79 * 9 *3

Smith's knock is somewhere between brutal and imperious. *Magnificent. *Oh we do love to see the Aussies go for 7 an over - especially when 345 seemed like a big total for them to post.
