The period of the '''2005 English cricket season from 15 to 30 June''' started with another surprise - Australia were beaten in their final NatWest Series warm-up match by Somerset, or more specifically Graeme Smith and [[Sanath Jayasuriya]], who put on 197 for Somerset's first wicket.

At the same time, the Twenty20 Cup was continuing apace, and [[Oxford University Cricket Club|Oxford University]] (610 for 5 declared) beat [[Cambridge University Cricket Club|Cambridge University]] (129 and 268), with [[Salil Oberoi]]'s 247 gaining him congratulations from former Indian [[Test cricket|Test]] [[cricketer]] [[Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi|Nawab of Pataudi junior]]{{mn|telegraph|2}}.

====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]], 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.

[[Graeme Smith]] and [[Sanath Jayasuriya]], however, fought back for Somerset. The pair opened, and put on 197 for the first wicket in little over 20 overs - Smith smashing his way to a massive 68-ball hundred, ending with 108 with 17 fours and a six. Jayasuriya, not wishing to be worse, made a 77-ball ton - before getting out for 101 a bit later. The platform was set, however, and 24-year-old [[James Hildreth]] could steady the ship after Somerset had lost some wickets to part-time bowler [[Michael Hussey]]. Hildreth made 38 not out off 24 balls and saw them to a victory with 19 balls and four wickets to spare - more comfortable than the match looked for the most part.

The winning runs - a four from Strauss - were hit inside 25 overs and with all ten wickets to spare.

However, the match at [[Lord's]] was close right till the end, former [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club|Nottinghamshire]] bowler [[Thomas Savill]] smacking 33 off 20 balls after having taken four for 28 with the ball. Munday, meanwhile, was inexplicably left to only bowl five overs - which went for 18 runs.

Former Australian batsman [[Greg Blewett]] then smashed five sixes in a massive 91 not out, and with good help from [[Scott Styris]] who made 39 not out from number six, the International XI won by six wickets.

[[Essex County Cricket Club|Essex Eagles]] collapsed to lose their first match of the 2005 Twenty20 Cup to [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex Sharks]]. Winning the toss and batting, Essex quickly made their way to 55 for 1, with [[Ronnie Irani]] hitting 34 off 18 balls. But two quick wickets set them back, [[Andy Flower]] was then [[run out]], and [[Mushtaq Ahmed(contracted; show full) for 13 from two overs.

Despite [[Nic Pothas]] scoring 59 off 39 balls, the Hawks were nowhere near keeping up with the required pace, and Middlesex bowler [[Irfan Pathan]] was a main cause of that - he took three for 16 from four overs, as Hampshire finished on 192 for 7.
