====Somerset v Australians (15 June)====

'''''Somerset won by four wickets'''''

[[Somerset County Cricket Club|Somerset]] shocked everyone with a nail-biting win over [[Australia cricket team]] at [[Taunton
, Somerset|Taunton]], their first win over the Australians since [[1977 English cricket season|1977]]. Somerset were placed mid-table in the second division of the National League, and no one believed they should have any chance against an Australian team only missing [[Adam Gilchrist]]. And Australia backed that up with the bat - [[Matthew Hayden]] retired after a fun hit-out for 76, captain [[Ricky Ponting]] the same for 80, and Australia tonked 342 for 5.
