Lancashire drew with Warwickshire 189 and 280 and 380 217 8
Lancashire had not been established in Liverpool in nine games since 2004 and only once before this season, is a consequence of the increase in the value of a victory of 16 points and flat areas becomes scarce.
Glen Chapple, the captain of Lancashire cricket and respect for traditional values soothing thought recently that in his opinion there was still deserves a lot hard earned, so it was somewhat ironic that it should be on the wrong end of a Warwickshire here finally reached their goal in a thrilling final.
Warwickshire had been assisted by the weather, which is limited to play 31 balls before 13:15, and pays the other half in the afternoon. But still loose in front of over 68, and a turning pitch against probably the best example of such conditions in the neighborhood, Gary Keedy, Lancashire veteran left arm spinner.
Ultimately, it was almost exciting Warwickshire, which had seemed home and dry at 217 for 6 entering what they thought was the last pass, missed two gates in five balls part-time offspinner Steven Croft and gave a deep sigh of relief to learn that there was time in the last hour for the mandatory second.
These six balls offered a picture of Tim Ambrose, who was the hero of Warwickshire, in the end, and an unbeatable 66, surrounded by a group of eight defenders near and wicketkeeper Gareth Cross wheels Keedy in Ambrose did not have a lot of similar experiences , but two blocks, sweeps, LBW appeal is rejected, the foot on the side to go to another died in a soft hand bat, it was all over, and after two hours and 17 minutes, the former England wicketkeeper had survived.
It 'been a deserved draw, but also because, Warwickshire had a negative way, at least until it was wise to be so. Presented at the beginning of each 75-over 280 to run and win the game, are sent to Neil Carter, in their opening one day, to take the new ball, and he and Varun Chopra, it was not appropriate.
Have shaken the long almost five Lancashire as well as giving any encouragement, but their goals were necessarily cut after they lost four wickets in seven acquisitions 20.
Saj Mahmood edged Carter to Tom Smith at second slip and then Keedy, with his fourth ball, took a diving return catch to dismiss him Porterfield. Chopra perished caught behind a bar ugly Kyle Hogg out of proportion with the rest of the sleeves and claimed a second scalp when Jim Troughton Keedy diverted around a corner to put the leg.
Warwickshire now need to excavate and support and it took another 27 overs to make more progress Lancashire had been reduced to Ambrose and Laurie Evans, who do not benefit from the experience of his colleague, but showed exceptional application and concentration of about two hours before Hogg falling slip seconds.
When Rikki Clarke - early in his unsuccessful attempt to take the world record for catches in turns when Boyd Rankin began skiers Troughton Hogg - down from 12 to 210 for six, caught at slip Keedy took his third stop, six leftovers .
Time seemed to Warwickshire, and eventually was, but just as well as Croft was bowled by Chris Woakes and Jeetan Patel, and caused a strong fear of visiting the balcony.
With Somerset secure a victory for the third consecutive time, the title race is very well prepared, with Warwickshire in a potentially strong position again by virtue of their game in hand, but the result pushes them to fourth place. Any of the first four could be champions, Lancashire coach Peter Moores, who later admitted.
"It is good for a performance in," he said. "It depends on who keeps a cool head and who the players are in form at the right time. It was a great game of cricket. Both sides got stuck in and had the opportunity to win, and it's a shame we do not have another session.
"Somerset mounted on the blind side, which we always thought they would. I like playing against teams that are in the championship fight with us and I am pleased that we have in Somerset in the final game of the season because we can control the tap.
"There have been all the way through, we have shown a lot of fight and character, and found ways to win games. I do not think we need to win all four games remaining. If we had won two screaming, three, and we had a very big opportunity, and if we win all four of us will surely win.
"In general, if the season winning 10, which would be sufficient, and often would be lower. This year is unique, because there are so many teams involved."
