  Somerset County Cricket Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somerset County Cricket Club is a county cricket club with headquarters at the County Cricket Ground, Taunton.
Somerset were the first of the "new" counties to have enough fixtures against the established county teams to be considered as part of the County Championship, joining in 1891.
In the last two seasons, the club have been led by high profile overseas stars Ricky Ponting and Graeme Smith and in July 2005, as perhaps a portent of better times to come, the county was the surprise winner of the third Twenty20 Cup, beating Lancashire in the final at The Oval.

 Somerset County Cricket Club in 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somerset's second Championship game was a comprehensive innings defeat at the hands of Yorkshire, which was followed by another heavy defeat to Yorkshire on the Sunday, and a 9 wicket defeat by Essex in the Championship.
Somerset did not apply themselves well in their reply, as they were dismissed cheaply for 105, and Leicestershire enforced the follow-on with a lead of 233 and just over a day still to play.
Somerset needed 10.35 off every over, and they took ten off the first, but wicket-keeper Carl Gazzard had to retire hurt and Wood was caught by Hafeez, leaving the score at 31 for 2 (effectively, counting Gazzard's retirement as a wicket) with Ian Blackwell at the crease.
