Three wickets, that's all that Somerset Men needed to complete a well-deserved victory against Sussex in the team's latest Rothesay County Championship game.
But it wasn't to be as the rain gods failed to help the team with the game finally called off as Sussex limped to 113-7 in their second innings, still 160 runs behind the home team.
Paul Farbrace, head coach of Sussex, said his team were outplayed over all four days.
"If I was in that Somerset dressing room, I would be very disappointed," he said. "We didn't deserve to get a draw out of that."
