List of Somerset County Cricket Club Twenty20 players
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somerset County Cricket Club was formed in 1875 and became a first-class county in 1882.[1] They played their first Twenty20 match in the 2003 Twenty20 Cup against Warwickshire.[2][3] Somerset have reached the domestic Twenty20 competition final on eight occasions: the club has won the 2005 Twenty20 Cup, 2023 T20 Blast and 2025 T20 Blast,[4] and were runners-up in three consecutive seasons: 2009, 2010 and 2011.[5] Their performances in the competition have resulted in their qualification for the 2009 and 2011 Champions League Twenty20 competitions, and an invitation to participate in the 2010–11 Caribbean Twenty20.[3] In total, 116 players have appeared in Twenty20 cricket for Somerset, of whom James Hildreth has played the most matches: 206 spread over 19 seasons between 2004 and 2022.[6]
Hildreth is Somerset's leading run-scorer in Twenty20 cricket, aggregating 3,906 runs.[7] He is also one of only nine batsmen to have scored a century for Somerset in the format, along with Tom Abell, Babar Azam, Tom Banton, Chris Gayle, Johann Myburgh, Graeme Smith, Marcus Trescothick and Cameron White.[8] Gayle's score of 151 not out, scored in 2015 against Kent is the highest score by a Somerset batsman,[8] and Gayle also has the county's best batting average: 84.16.[9] Among the bowlers, Lewis Gregory has taken more wickets than any other bowler, both claiming 165, 26 more than Max Waller.[10] The best bowling average is Matt Henry's 14.72.[11] Arul Suppiah has the best bowling figures in an innings: he claimed six wickets against Glamorgan in a 2011 match, while only conceding five runs.[12] Suppiah's figures in that match were the best by any bowler in Twenty20 cricket at the time.[13] Tom Banton has taken the most catches as wicket-keeper for Somerset, with 50,[14] and Craig Kieswetter has made the highest number of stumpings: 14.[15] Max Waller has claimed the highest number of catches among fielders, taking 86.[16]
