Somerset v Holland at Taunton

The Electronic Telegraph

24 June 1998


The weekend amateurs of Holland rarely face a world-class spinner, and it was hardly a surprise that Mushtaq Ahmed sliced through them to set up Somerset for a 10-wicket win after a rain-delayed start at Taunton.

The Pakistani's five wickets for 26 reflected his accuracy, and his googly stock ball consistently baffled the Dutch.

Mushtaq, acting captain in place of Peter Bowler, who had dropped himself, won an important toss.
