On This Day: Carbs Punishes Somerset

Left-hander put Somerset to the sword at Taunton with an unbeaten century on this day in 2012

Michael Carberry (103*) - Somerset v Hampshire, Clydesdale Bank 40 - 27th May 2012


Hampshire made the trip to Taunton to face Somerset in the Clydesdale Bank 40 - on this day in 2012 - unbeaten, having won their first two Group B fixtures in the 40-over competition.

Jimmy Adams won the toss and put Somerset in, 40 overs, nine wickets and 212 runs later it looked a good decision with Dimi Mascarenhas (2-17) the star man with the ball.

Neither Adams or Carberry hung around in Hampshire's chase, when Adams was dismissed for 56 Hampshire were 103-1 in just the 15th over and James Vince's arrival to the crease did little to slow down the rate.

He finished unbeaten on 44 as Hampshire chased down Somerset's modest total in just the 29th over - Carberry the star with an unbeaten 103 (83 balls), which included 15 boundaries.

If Hampshire hadn't already put a marker down in their first two wins, they certainly did here.
