GregP Sep 2019 6:55am, 27 Sep 2019 115,182 posts	0 GregP Just lovely from Cricinfo: In years to come, some may look at the scorecard and wonder why Essex, with just 18 more required, were so happy to shake hands on the draw. They had nine wickets in hand, after all, and the best part of 10 minutes remaining. But we had seen how quickly wickets could fall on this surface and, as an endearingly nervous Cook put it: "You don't play on a wicket like that and expect to cruise through. When Somerset offered to shake hands on a draw I was more than happy." It felt like the right thing to do, too. Essex's primary objective had been achieved and Somerset, for their fight and bravery, didn't especially deserve to lose. And it afforded Marcus Trescothick, on the pitch for the final moments as a substitute fielder, the chance to lead both sides from the field through a guard of honour. To see how much victory meant to the likes of Cook and Simon Harmer - or, indeed, to see the extent of Jack Leach's disappointment - was to be reassured of the importance of the Championship to modern players. Both sides emerged with credit from this final day. So, too, did county cricket.
