I can understand the frustration of Somerset supporters but the way some are stropping about it you'd think it was the first time there had ever been any declaration bowling. If I see 'spirit of cricket' mentioned again...

I would like to see Somerset win it but they are quick to forget that pitch against us last week.

Somebody made a similar point about their pitches this season. Maybe it's my natural pessimism but I still don't think the target set is that generous.

I agree with Nasser Hussain - Middlesex's best chance is when Yorkshire are really having to play some shots. At the moment they don't really need to - of course this may come.....

Don't worry Chris, Tim Bresnan's in to save the day.

Hard to call this one. Yorkshire can only go all out for the win.Anything else and they finish 3rd.

Looks like Durham are going to beat Hampshire after all that.

If Bresnan had stuck around we might have got there, too much to do now.

Back in favour of Somerset now. The Bears could've won this title with a bit more application. Batting has been the undoing. Still a great last week to the season with a trophy.

This must be the most exciting finish to a season ever? Still three teams could win the league with just over seven overs left.

The damnable cocker knees have it in the bag.
