20 links from Auckland 125 7 (Vincent 47 *) v Somerset
Somerset showed few signs of jet lag to be one day after landing in India as their bowlers produced a fantastic performance to Auckland on the brink of elimination from the Champions League T20. Lou Vincent was again the top scorer for Auckland, but was starved of the strike and support on a ground lifeless, where Somerset bowlers prospered.
Auckland drummers mixed through the stem, was removed to give space and many are trying to reverse sweep, but they could not shake Somerset of their lines and lengths. While Vincent was unable to link some of his shots more fanciful - in 19 more, even when he lost a hand paddle, he showed his frustration by pretending to kick down the stumps three times.
Auckland were on the defensive from the start, losing several of his most famous drummers at a lower cost. Martin Guptill was better than the duck of diamonds did on Monday, but only just. Despite being eliminated from the second ball he faced, and barely survived an execution on the side, that hidden along 9. Rob Quiney Australia also failed to import, trapped LBW by Somerset captain Alfonso Thomas for 4 people.
Vincent and captain Gareth Hopkins has been to bring back to Auckland on March 14 but have been locked in a series of Somerset used to slow bowlers, a strategy that has worked well in Trinidad & Tobago earlier in the day. Murali Kartik in and Roelof van der Merwe had two left arm spinners with international experience, both of which proved to be stingy. Perhaps it would not negotiate for Somerset 4-0-18-1 spell young legspinner Max Waller, who do not turn the ball much, but still had hitters guessing.
Auckland has shown the extent of their struggles in the count limit - in the last nine overs was the only one of four and a six. Vincent has been marked in more than one third, and remained unbeaten at the end, but faced only 47 balls, less than half of deliveries bowled during his time in the middle.
