The 2012 season saw Somerset County Cricket Club competing in three domestic competitions; the first division of the County Championship in which despite the squad being ravaged with injuries they finished as runners-up, the Clydesdale Bank 40 but a poor start meant they finished third in their group, and the county reached the semi-finals of the Friends Life t20.
