Cricket Update: Clydesdale Bank 40- Peter Trego rockets Somerset to 249 run win
Peter Trego’s career-best 147 and a blazing unbeaten 90 from Jos http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Essex-c783 Eagles.
The final Group A clash of the Clydesdale Bank 40 saw Somerset crushing Glamorgan with a record-breaking 249-run defeat at the County Ground, Taunton on Saturday, 4th of September. Chasing Somerset’s daunting total of 368 runs amassed in allotted 40 overs, the whole team of Glamorgan was bundled out in the 24th over with only 119 on the board.
Peter Trego's whirlwind 147 off just 89 balls and a blistering 33-ball 90 not out logged by wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jos-Buttler-c1733 helped Somerset to set an intimidating total of 368 for 4 from 40 overs. During two hours entertaining stay at the crease, Trego pulled the ball through the boundary lines for no less than 24 times hitting 19 muscular fours and five well timed sixes. Jos Butler’s pugnacious innings of 90 runs saw him looting eight fours and seven muscular shots over the ropes for huge sixes.
Whirlwind knocks of Peter Trego and keeper Jos Buttler were well complimented by James Hildreth’s unbeaten 58 that he logged through 59 balls hitting four boundaries. Bludgeoning Zander de Bruyn joined his teammates in the mauling of Glamorgan bowlers looting four boundaries and a six during his 27 minutes stay at crease that earned him 33 runs from 30 balls.
Will Owen finished with 3 for 69 from 8 overs, while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glamorgan-c784’s armoury as the eight overs bowled by him cost exactly 100, while Cosker was the most economical bowler conceding only 30 runs in his quota of 8 overs.
In reply, Glamorgan was rolled over for only 119 in the 24th over. Ben Wright top-scored with 36 off 34, while rest of the cast failed to get past 20 even. Ben Phillips four-wicket haul was the pick of Somerset’s bowling followed by Murali Kartik who finished with 3 for 23.

After Trescothick’s dismissal, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mark-Wallace-c1913 behind the stumps. Compton’s 10 minutes stay at crease earned Somerset only 6 runs from 12 balls.
Zander de Bruyn and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Trego-c2181 shared a 61-run stand for the third wicket partnership bringing 100 up for the side. That became 123 for three, when de Bruyn departed in the 16th over mistiming Cosker to Maynard.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Hildreth-c1647 and Peter Trego posted 128 runs to the scorecard for the fourth wicket partnership before fluent Trego was caught by Wright off Owen. He earned Somerset pugnacious 147 from just 89 balls. An un-beaten 117-run stand between Hildreth and Buttler took the side to a competitive total of 368 for 4.
In reply, only Ben Wright resisted, scoring 36 runs from 34 balls hitting for fours and one six while rest of the line-up floundered against Ben Phillips and Murali Kartik. The side batted like a team with no chance and a succession of immature shots saw them wrapped up inside 24 overs with 119 on the board. The whole batting line up of Glamorgan, except http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Wright-c1143, succumbed for scores below 20. Six of the batsmen failed to get past even single digit scores.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alfonso-Thomas-c991 conceded only nine runs claiming opener Gareth Rees’ wicket as well.
