Twenty20 gets off to a flier
The Twenty20 season has got underway with a storming victory by Somerset over Gloucestershire at Taunton. Somerset spanked a Twenty20 world record 250-3 off their 20 overs, at an astonishing 12.5 run rate. The damage was done by Justin Langer (90 off 46 balls) and Cameron White (116* off 53 balls). Ironically, both Australians.
The Twenty20 championship holders then saw off Gloucestershire by 117 runs, bowling the visitors out for 133 in 16.1 overs.
I saw a bit on telly today…I can’t believe that was Justin Langer batting for Somerset today. It must of been some sort of clone!
Even better…. did you notice the little England badge he was wearing on his sleeve!
It was incredible to watch… so… many… sixes! And yep, I saw the England flag on JL’s shirt… quite weird!
