Forgettable contest ends in a stalemate
Somerset Guardian
|July 03, 2025
Warwickshire and Somerset harvested the predictable Rothesay County Championship draw as a forgettable match finally petered out on the final day at Edgbaston last week.
Set a notional victory target of 377 in 69 overs, Warwickshire plod-ded to 161-4 as Tom Latham (52 from 103 balls) and Sam Hain (68°, 157) escorted their team to safety and the match to stalemate.
Somerset had extended their second innings in the morning to 229-8 (James Rew 61, 81) but not as quickly as they hoped due to inter-ference from Australian off-spinner Corey Rocchoccioli who took a debut five-for - 5-67.
It had always appeared that a bland pitch would blunt the victory aspirations of either side and so it proved. Both shored up their posi-tions in the middle of Division One with a solid points haul from a match which offered less than vivid entertainment.
The deployment of two short mid-wickets and two short extras for Latham off Migael Pretorius was about as exciting as it got for the slumbering Edgbaston faithful.
