Gloucestershire County Cricket Club in 2005 are playing their cricket in Division One of both the County Championship and totesport League. They started the Championship at 18–1 to win it,and as one of the teams most likely to be relegated from it. So they were—only their five draws prevented them from finishing bottom,and they were the only team to lose to bottom-placed Glamorgan. By the end of August,they were relegated,with three games to spare. In the National League,they were never better than sixth at any time during the season,and lost three games in succession to be ninth before the final round of matches. They won their last match,but were still relegated due to a worse net run rate than Lancashire. They were thus the first club to suffer double relegation since Leicestershire in 2003. Their Twenty20 and C&G Trophy campaigns ended almost as early as they could have done—Gloucestershire did get past the first round of the C&G Trophy,beating Berkshire,but were knocked out by Surrey.
Glamorgan County Cricket Club started their 2005 season as defending totesport League champions,but the 2005 season ended without a trophy –instead,they suffered relegation in the first-class form. They played their first-class cricket in the First Division of the County Championship. They started the Championship season at 25–1 to win,and favourites to be relegated –which they eventually were,winning one of sixteen games in the Championship season to finish bottom –nearly 100 points behind the first team to avoid relegation. By the end of August,they had confirmed relegation with three games remaining. In the National League,they hovered around mid-table for most of the season,before a run of three unbeaten games at the end of August sent them out of the relegation zone,and they finished the season in fourth place. In the C&G Trophy,they were knocked out at the second round stage by eventual champions Hampshire,while the Twenty20 campaign saw them finish bottom of their group with two wins from eight matches.
Somerset County Cricket Club played in Division Two of both the County Championship and the Sunday League in 2005. Somerset started at 10–1 to finish Division Two County Champions. Batting seems strong with Smith,Jayasuriya,Blackwell and Trescothick. But the same cannot be said of the bowling,which will find it difficult to dismiss teams twice on the flat Taunton pitch.
Durham County Cricket Club started the 2005 season with odds of 20-1 to win the Second Division of the County Championship,and in one-day cricket they started the season in Division Two of the National League. However,they were promoted in both competitions - in the County Championship,they finished second after an initial run of four wins and eight matches without defeat. They only lost two of 16 Championship matches,securing promotion a week before the end of the tournament. In the National League,they were promoted with two weeks to spare,and won their last five matches - yet finished two points behind Sussex Sharks,who had a similar run. The cup competitions gave them lower final placings,however - in the C&G Trophy,they were knocked out in the first round by Derbyshire,and without internationals Mike Hussey and Paul Collingwood,who played in the NatWest Series,they lost five of eight matches in the group stages in the Twenty20 Cup to finish fifth in the North Division.
Leicestershire County Cricket Club in 2005 are playing their cricket in Division Two of the County Championship and of the totesport League. They started the season as 25-1 outsiders to take the Division Two Championship title. These odds looked reasonable as they plummeted to an innings defeat in their first match,picking up only one point against Durham. They then lost their first totesport match,also against Durham,by 9 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis method.
Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 2005 was the cricket season when the English club Derbyshire had been playing for one hundred and thirty-five years. They reached the semi-final in the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy. In the County Championship,they finished ninth in the second division and in the National League,they finished sixth in the second division. They were eliminated at group level in the North section of the Twenty20 Cup.
The West Indian cricket team toured England in the 1900 season. The team played 17 matches between 11 June and 11 August 1900.
The England cricket team toured South Africa under the auspices of the Marylebone Cricket Club from December 1905 to March 1906. There were five Test matches,and seven first-class games against South African provincial teams. While the team won a number of their first-class matches,they also lost several,and South Africa won the Test series 4 to 1.
The 2005 Cheltenham &Gloucester Trophy was the 4th Cheltenham &Gloucester Trophy,an English county cricket tournament,held between 3 May and 3 September 2005. The competition was contested by all 18 first-class counties,as well as 10 minor counties and the national teams of Scotland,Ireland,the Netherlands and Denmark,to make up a full 32-team tournament. The final was won by the Hampshire Hawks,who beat the Warwickshire Bears by 18 runs at Lord's on 3 September 2005.
Warwickshire County Cricket Club in 1994 achieved the unprecedented feat of winning three trophies in an English domestic season. The treble included titles in the County Championship,Sunday League and Benson &Hedges Cup while the grand slam was narrowly missed as they lost to Worcestershire in the final of the Natwest Trophy. Wisden described it as the 'most remarkable season by any side in the history of county cricket'.
