No doubting Thomas as he bowls

ALFONSO Thomas bowled Somerset up to third place in the South Division and became the country's leading Twenty20 bowler in the process.

For the sixth match in a row, the South African claimed three wickets as Glamorgan were skittled for just 138 at Taunton.

Thomas then put his feet up and watched as Somerset knocked off their target to win by six wickets with eight balls to spare.

The former Warwickshire seamer took 3-11 from his four overs and now has 22 wickets - more than anyone else in this year's Friends Provident t20.

Thomas' dismissals have come at the impressive average of 10.09 per wicket with an economy-rate of just 6.34 runs per over.

Indian spinner Murali Kartik claimed 3-18 - his best Twenty20 figures so far for Somerset.

Had it not been for Australian Mark Cosgrove's 75 from 55 balls, with nine fours and two sixes, it would not have been a contest at all.

When Glamorgan bowled, Marcus Trescothick drove Robert Croft to mid-on in the first over, but the Dragons badly missed the potency of recalled Australia paceman Shaun Tait.

James Hildreth and Nick Compton were able to form a comfortable stand Replica Swiss Army Watches of 83 in 12 overs with the former to the fore as he stroked seven fours in his 45 before he clipped a Chris Ashling delivery to mid-wicket.

Somerset made good the reprieve with Kieron Pollard smiting three sixes off Ashling - including one that cleared the Ondaatje Pavilion.

The Trinidadian was yorked by James Allenby for 19 from just eight balls but by then Somerset needed only a run a ball.

Jos Buttler, showing few nerves in front of 5,500 at the County Ground and many more watching on Sky, and de Bruyn did the necessary as the hosts made light of the absence of England players Craig Kieswetter and Pete Trego.

Earlier, after choosing to bat, Glamorgan made a poor start when they slumped to 22-2.

First Allenby miscued a pull off Thomas and was caught at mid-on and then Tom Maynard edged Ben Phillips behind the wicket.

Glamorgan skipper Jamie Dalrymple then top-edged a cut to third man and was well caught by a running Thomas to give de Bruyn a first wicket.

And former Gloucestershire all-rounder David Brown missed a reverse sweep at Murali Kartik and over-balanced to be stumped by Buttler for six.

Next ball Gareth Rees thin-edged behind for a duck and Mark Wallace had to survive the hat-trick delivery. However, Kartik extracted enough turn in his next over to spin one through the gate of left-hander Wallace to clip his off bail.

Cosgrove was missed on 55 when Mark Turner should have caught him at mid-wicket but the wickets continued to tumble anyway.
