The report of the Lord Andrew McGlashan

September 17, 2011

Surrey 189 for 5 (Hamilton-Brown 78) beat Somerset 215 (86 Buttler, Dernbach 4.30) by five wickets (D / L method)

Rory Hamilton-Brown was a captain innings as Surrey signing of a successful season, claiming the silver to the Lord Clydesdale Bank 40 in high season so the weather was a bit 'right that the rain was partly aimed at Surrey cut off 186 over 30 and have won an extra 15 balls to leave Somerset as bridesmaids for the fifth time in two seasons.

Surrey were the same Duckworth-Lewis target when the rain came to 5.5 despite losing Jason Roy over the ball before going on. They again for another seven balls before the rain returned to Surrey and then was always before the game. When the game continued in Somerset removed Tom Maynard to give them hope, but Hamilton-Brown remained calm, and 78 off 62 balls. The decisive factor is the Hamilton-Brown had fallen a third innings when he pulled the ball Murali Kartik midwicket but paid a possibility. 214 Defense, because they were at that time, Somerset has taken every opportunity.

Then, when the approach to 20-over innings cut-off, which guaranteed the result before the reservation day, Nick Compton was the opportunity to stop in Surrey captain, even though Somerset had fallen behind. Chris Schofield had a hand in the important 58-run stand until it fell to Alfonso Thomas and Hamilton-Brown was driven out of the direct hit by Jos Buttler has been a hint of pressure.

The operation was desperate, but missed three chances to hit the stumps Somerset and head in his hand constantly sum up their day as Zander de Bruyn, whose experience is essential in a young Surrey, and Matthew Spriegel, One of the major players on the side of a day, completing the job. It meant Surrey had won their first title since 2003 Twenty20 Cup and the first victory in a final, Lord's since 2001. The hard work the last two seasons at the Oval starting to bear fruit.

Somerset, on the other hand, continue to wonder what to do to break their drought of trophies, but this time, the answer is very simple, as they have fallen 5 to 79 who chose to bat first. They came to Butler had fallen to 214, which was a mature 86 of 72 balls to improve the already formidable reputation. In what has been another good day for young talents in English - after last night Jonny Bairstow in one-day international - Jade Dernbach bags four for 30. Since he and Butler (with Craig Kieswetter) made a career in the late afternoon return to Cardiff, were commendable efforts.

Sleeves of Somerset was a story of waste that begins five batsmen fell between 10 and 16. After being forced to field first, not their preferred method, Surrey stuck to their plan to open with a spin that changed the Spriegel from the first. Marcus Trescothick, playing with an injured ankle, scored a couple of limitations, but then ran for a delivery and was comfortably confused. Talisman of Somerset was gone.

Kieswetter, in turn, has never been settled for his 23-ball stay that ended in a tent and the ball was still short, when Peter Trego top-edged swipe a long leg and hitting a power higher order had been sent . James Hildreth is played around the delivery of Schofield, as the call remains the key, then rotate between the Compton and Craig Meschede Sweep the edge of the left-Somerset 146 7

Butler, however, was excellent as he pushed his case for a spot on a day to India. His fifty came out 48 balls, and as the rounds came to an end - and Powerplay hitter was taken - he began to extend his strokeplay when he uppercut Dernbach over third man for the first six innings. Somerset, however, need more than an innings of substance. On Sunday evening, they will board a flight to Hyderabad and the Champions League but the domestic season ends with a host of familiar questions posed.
