Nice going, hopefully we will see him in the Ashes.

Great score against a fair attack. But when a bowler of National standard bowls 9nbs, something must be off.

Yeah,his run up.International bowlers have no excuse whatsoever for no-balling.More so My-t-E-Girls,what are you suggesting?

Must have nicked a few through the slips that ran away for four! 43 of them actually!

Langer broke the Master Blaster's all-time Somerset record, but fell short of the record score for an Australian in England:

Agonisingly short - only 4 runs away from breaking it.

If only that 342 was scored against England at Trent Bridge around this time last year...

[MightyEagles]

That the player had an off day, or his run up was a bit off.

most County grounds especially Somerset's home ground (even though they played in Surrey) are smaller than most primary school grounds here im not suprised that he scored than many boundaries in 10 hours @ the crease.

Still a very good effort though, if the smaller ovals were that much of a factor, it would happen a lot more than it does.

Mike Hussey scored 3 Triple tons for his counry side over the past 4 years. Durham and Northants Im pretty sure!
