Watch the steadfast cricket of Somerset CCC
Somerset CCC supporters are a bit like Boston Red Sox baseball fans over the pond – their team has always had the potential to be the cream of the crop, but something always seems to come up to make them also-rans. The county did taste quite a lot of success in the one-day game in the 1970s, and again towards the end of the 2010s, but the County Championship has always eluded them. So, watching a Somerset CCC cricket game is to join a hearty group of steadfast cricket lovers, behind their team through thick and thin. Buy or sell Somerset CCC tickets on StubHub to take part.
A legacy of colourful cricket players
Somerset CCC has always fielded a roster of colourful, highly accomplished cricketers who have always seemed to find a home at this club that has a jovial, slightly maverick character to it. Legends of the game like Chris Gayle have plied their craft with Somerset CCC, alongside English cricketing luminaries like Marcus Treschothick and that wonderful record-breaking spin bowler for the county, Jack Leach. There is a bit of a question mark over when Somerset CCC actually gained County cricket status, as there is confusion over when their debut was. However, it has been generally accepted by cricket pundits (after a lively debate, of course), that the team played its debut first-class match in 1882, taking the field against Lancashire at one of the most historic cricket grounds in the UK, Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Somerset CCC has had a few home grounds in its history, with County Ground, Taunton having become its latter-day home. So, keep an eye on the venue for when Somerset CCC tickets are available.
Better success in T20
Somerset CCC began to enjoy more success when the more frenetic T20 version of the game took hold among fans. As more of these short-form competitions sprang up, the club was able to stock its trophy cabinet a bit more, winning quite a few English T20 championships. These include 2019 Royal London One Day Cup, which was a huge feather in the county's cap, and sparked a dynamic revival in the team and its fortunes. The win was made even sweeter by the fact that it was achieved at the world home of cricket, the venerable Lords. It also took place against one of Somerset CCC's old foes, and a team that had been their undoing in many a one-day competition over the previous decades, Hampshire CCC. However, the club's biggest traditional rival has always been Gloucestershire CCC, so when you're looking around for Somerset CCC tickets on StubHub, wait until that game comes around to experience the full passion of the county's cricket faithful.
