Kings in Waiting is the story of how Somerset failed to win their
maiden Championship title despite finishing second five times
during the 2010s. Since they finished bottom of the table in 2006,
Somerset have enjoyed and endured the most exciting period in their
history. Following their bottom-of-the-table finish, they hired
Justin Langer as their captain and he transformed them into one of
the most competitive teams in the land. He departed in 2009,
although the good work he had done alongside his successor Marcus
Trescothick was expected to result in trophies. But they somehow
failed to deliver, remarkably finishing as runners-up in eight
tournaments between 2009 and 2012. This led to them being described
as the bridesmaids of English cricket. After a few quiet years, a
new team began to emerge under Chris Rogers, one full of youth and
promise. He guided them to second in 2016 and his successor Tom
Abell finally managed to win a trophy in 2019. Yet the
all-important Championship title remains absent from their cabinet.
