Like the Amir saga recently, how do they make such a mistake at this level??? Unacceptable.

Marcus Trescothick became the first batsman to reach 1,500 runs this summer as Somerset responded to Worcestershire's highest County Championship total of the season on day two at New Road.

The 35-year-old Somerset captain completed his sixth hundred of another prolific campaign and took his total from 20 innings to an imposing 1,504 - putting him more than 400 ahead of his nearest rivals

Michael Carberry and Neil McKenzie wrote themselves into the record books with a partnership of 523 as Hampshire's clash with fellow relegation candidates Yorkshire at the Rose Bowl ended in a draw. Carberry was playing his third match since returning from a serious illness that kept him out of the game for nine months.

Carberry and McKenzie came together with Hampshire on 59 for two in response to Yorkshire's first innings total of 532. The pair then thwarted the visitors for the little matter of eight hours and 135 overs with Carberry going on to make an unbeaten 300 and McKenzie scoring an equally valuable 237.

Marcus North, the Western Australia captain, will take his tally of English counties that he has represented to six after signing a two-year deal as Glamorgan's overseas player.

North will bring with him more than 11,000 first-class runs and replaces Alviro Petersen, the South Africa opener, who has captained Glamorgan this season. He won't be called away on international duty having lost his Test place during the 2010-11 Ashes series.

History was made in Canterbury as floodlit championship cricket with a pink ball came to the St Lawrence ground for the first time - only for the ECB's great and the good to all but out number the crowd.

When a distinctly chilly set of players left the ground at 9pm, Glamorgan had reached two without loss after five overs having spent the best part of three sessions in dismissing Kent for 237.

With little riding on the result, the ECB's hasty decision to play this end-of-term second division clash under lights and using pink balls may have seemed a reasonable one, but the Kentish public seemingly voted with their feet. Barely 300 turned up for the opening day of a fixture that might usually attract 1,000-plus, yet the committee room appeared full with visiting administrators.

Legend has it that the Holy Grail resides close to Taunton. Whatever the truth in that story, Lancashire will certainly reflect that they found their own version of the Grail in Somerset.

After 77 years, a heap of near misses and much wailing and gnashing of teeth, Lancashire can, at last, celebrate winning the County Championship title. After winning 10 of their 16 games, no one could claim they didn't deserve it. No team lost fewer games, either.

Middlesex clinched the Second Division title with a five-wicket win over rock-bottom Leicestershire at Grace Road. They made heavy weather of chasing down a victory target of 124, slumping to 90 for 5 after losing five wickets for 33 runs in an 11-over spell, but wicketkeeper John Simpson and all-rounder Gareth Berg finally saw them home with a flurry of boundaries.

Hampshire have signed Simon Katich as their overseas player for next season

Leicestershire allrounder Andrew McDonald is leaving the county because of visa problems. McDonald's visa issue has arisen because the time that has elapsed since he last played for Australia in January 2009 means he no longer qualifies as an overseas player in county cricket.

Phillip Hughes will spend the entire 2012 season at Worcestershire after extending his contract with the county. Hughes, the 23-year-old Australia opener who was dropped from the Test team after a disappointing series against New Zealand, had originally agreed to join Worcestershire in June but has now agreed to arrive in the UK at the start of April.
