Somerset and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warwickshire-c862 vying for Clydesdale Bank 40 glory
Somerset Captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marcus-Trescothick-c1898 has reaffirmed his aim to win the Clydesdale Bank 40 final. The statement comes in the wake of some superb performances by Nottinghamshire in the entire season. He urged that the motivation and inspiration
to win the final will be enough for him team to defeat Warwickshire. It may be the last chance for Somerset to earn a title at the end of an impressive season. However, Warwickshire coach Ashley Giles thinks otherwise.
Somerset's squad was bitterly disappointed after Nottinghamshire clinched the championship crown by defeating http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 clinched the third wicket and won a third bonus point. Trescothick and his team
members witnessed the match on a big screen at the ground. His team flew for London soon after when the result of the match became increasingly evident.
Despite being the most persistent performing county unit, Somerset failed to earn the true rewards for their efforts. Somerset displayed a marvellous performance throughout the season. However, luck did not favour them at different
junctures during the season. Somerset stood second in the Friends Provident T20 after losing a few wickets at the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rose-c86842 Bowl.
Trescothick took no time in expressing his disappointment after arriving in London. He regarded it as a heavy day for him and sadness surrounded his team. However, Trescothick appeared optimistic about future competitions. He said
that the teams’ morale has improved after watching the ground, change rooms and a competitive environment. He expressed his happiness regarding his team members for quickly coming back to their normal ambitious mood. He is optimistic about winning the championship.
Trescothick considered the CB40 title as a big event and wished to have some more time after going through a busy schedule. However he was happy with his team members that they quickly adopted themselves for the new competition.
Somerset would face a very tough fight from the in-form Warwickshire team. Warwickshire surprised the spectators with their marvellous victory over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789 that earned them the Division One status. Giles and Trescothick - old colleagues
and companions from England's national team - are in no mood to leave any stone unturned to defeat one another.
Giles vowed to give very tough time for the Somerset team. According to Giles, Somerset would again earn the runner’s up position for the third time.
Warwickshire is strongly reinforced by presence of Jonathan Trott who would display his dexterity with the bat from Warwickshire. He had been spared by the English management from playing in the one day matches against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755. Warwickshire
top batting order has gained a lot of strength with Jonathan Trott at his disposal. His combination with Ian Bell and Neil Carter would prove disastrous for the opposition camp. Moreover Jonathan Trott seems to be in the best form of his life. It is pertinent
to mention that Neil Carter is vying for county cricket’s most valuable player award. Warwickshire’s squad have the services of inform Chris Woakes and leg spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-c64193 Tahir as the most reliable weapons against the opposing team. Giles has a formidable team
to thwart any challenge coming from Somerset.
Giles expressed his apprehensions about Somerset being tipped as the favourites to win the match. He correlated the performance of his team and considered the season to be a marvellous effort from his boys along with a good win record.
Giles relayed his confidence in his team members and desired to win the title with an underdog status. He said that it is the seriousness of the team which matters and yields a good result. He linked the team’s present performance
with the hard work they displayed last year.
