Is the Four Year Wait For a Home Win Over?

Well not yet anyway. I like cricket, and grew up in Derbyshire (hence the username). But the last home win in the County Championship came in June 2002. As it stands Somerset need about 200 wickets with three wickets in hand on the final day to win. Cameron White going very well, but having just lost three quick wickets after a 200+ partnership.

Of course, it does tend to rain a bit up in Derby, hopefully not tomorrow.

Are you telling me the team hasn't won a home game in four years??! How many games are played there each year?

417, except in 2003 when it was 416 due to weather.

Hilarious. No wonder you're a Dane Cook fan.

And no one can ever take that away from you.

Seriously though, how many games a year do they play?

Looks like a win - only 3 wickets to get, and enough runs to play with.

Good luck!

Was a lot closer than it should have been, less than 100 runs in it.

34 home games without a win, around 800 hours of cricket.
