Not sure this was a great advert for cricket or not.
At least it came down to the last day and last session of play, although that was largely down to the rain as Day 1, 2 and 3 were mostly washed out in Manchester.
I was working day 1 and 3 but was all ready to go on day 2 until I looked outside and saw it raining and thanks to Sky Sports it was confirmed there was no point in my travelling all that way for hardly any play.
Got to feel for Somerset, lost out on all fronts - very harsh but a reflection on the game and all sports.
Lancashire fell away in the final few games and it wasn't great how they collapsed batting-wise after some decent bowling but Notts had a title to play for while the home side only pride I suppose.
Another county cricket season done and most of it won't be at Old Trafford next season as they switch the square around and refurbish to become a mainstay in the Test arena.
At the end of a long hard season, most of which I have enjoyed watching, all that's left is to look forward to the Ashes down under!
