There may have been one of the links in the Champions League Twenty20 great, but there are nine players from international cricket experience on the screen as Auckland took Somerset Street. However, the winning goal was a player who is not always first class and the team had to consider a new career.

Even Steve Snell was called the 'third choice' keeper as he soaked up the apartment after a nerve-off 34 balls under 24 that helped Somerset home by four doors with Alfonso Thomas buds affect vital. In conjunction with James Hildreth, who until recently was a place to push for England, he added 61 in eight overs in a match where most batsmen struggled.

"We may have played a little harder than others," said Snell ESPNcricinfo shortly after their shifts. "I was very disappointed if we do not win, after the cooperation we had. We also knew that pressure was actually in Auckland, because it was an absolute must win for them."

Somerset only came to Hyderabad on September 19 after playing the final at Lord CB40 September 17, but Snell believes the quick trip helped. "It's been nonstop, had no time for a training session when we arrived and only a water polo game this morning, but it meant that expectations were low outside the team, however, own side were always confident that . could win. "

Snell's career was stalled because the year he published in Gloucestershire at the end of the 2010 season he played for them since 2005. He spent most of the summer of 2011 played Minor County cricket for Hertfordshire. "I thought that one day the stats were pretty good," he said. "I felt pretty hard to do when I let go [from Gloucestershire], it was a shock. We hope this tournament gives me a chance to show what I counties."

The win put the county with a good chance to qualify for the main draw of profit, but if they pass Snell Somerset has no guarantee to be there when Craig Kieswetter and Jos Buttler join England after taxes. "I'm not sure of the rules, and if I stay, but I have hope I have left with some difficult decisions," he said.
