Football4Profit: News- Somerset vs Durham

Two upcoming Cricket games have our attention enough to warrant some words. The four teams will lead off the semi-finals are Somerset and Durham, facing off at Taunton and Surrey versus Hampshire at the Oval. The four teams sitting on the top tier of the Division One in County Championships provide a range of excellence reflected in the close odds the bookmakers are offering, with only 11 points differing the top four sides. First up, Somerset versus Durham.

The stakes couldn’t be higher, as the victor will move on to play the last two game of the season, so the timing is ideal that Steve Harmison (Durham) has been invited back to play in the critical game. The move comes as a relief after his ODI retirement, though the club did manage to hold their own admirable without his help. Be that as it may, he provides a tremendous asset for a already formidable team, and England has been more than generous in allowing him to play for the remainder of the season, however short. The 9 Championship games that Harmy participated in this season gave him 43 wickets, and he’s kept up his skills since- so expect an excellent show of just how potent of a player he is on the Durham side. He was their most successful bowler in July; as the teams played out over a tie, he earned 5 more wickets.

Notwithstanding the advantage that Harmison gives them, Somerset supporters are on thin ice after the game against Notts, where their club dropped to 51 for five, despite having won the toss. They chose to bat. Durham wasn’t without their own bad luck last match; they were nearly drowned by the never ending rain that saturated the field, but Will Smith got them up to a respectable 280 for three. The game between the two should be close, as reflected in the odds being offered: most firms are offering 5/6 on both sides, unable to decide. Coral stands apart by having Durham to win at 10/11, a deal considering the strength of Harmison’s add on.
