On Tuesday, June 26, Somerset secured an impressive win against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Northamptonshire-c824, in the match played at County Ground, Northampton, by seven wickets.
Northamptonshire after being put into bat, failed to inspire, as they could amass a meagre total of 115 runs, after getting pulverised by the Somerset bowlers.

In another match of the ongoing Friends Life T20, Middlesex bagged a fine win against Kent by 48 runs, in a match that was played at St http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Canterbury-c775.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Middlesex-c817 after winning the toss, batted first and amassed a staggering total of 207 runs, to put enormous pressure on the Kent side, who had their bowling attack ripped apart by the fine batsmen they were up against.
Opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JL-Denly-c1703 was the star from his team as he jabbed an innings of 90 runs to play a dominating role in his team’s big total.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kent-c802, then coming out to bat, hammered an opening stand of 90 runs, and looked well set to take the game, but faltered in the middle, which cost them, as they could bolster only 159 runs in 20 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aizaz-Cheema-c961 should have been selected instead, as the veteran suggested that Junaid - coming back from an injury - looked completely out of form.
“Junaid to me didn't appear in any sort of form. I think he may have made some changes to his bowling but clearly something was not right, at a time like this I think Cheema would have been a better option.”
Australian pace sensation http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brett-Lee-c48419 in a recent interview, has suggested that for as long as he feels he is helping in the grooming of upcoming bowlers, he will keep playing for the national team.
“As long as I'm doing my job and being an asset to the Australian cricket team and helping the young guys come through, and still enjoying my cricket, then I'll keep playing for a few more games and we'll see what happens after that. Whether that's three months or twelve months or eighteen months, who knows," he said.
