Somerset skipper Justin Langer has hailed the character of his side for bouncing back from Friends Provident Trophy heartache with two Twenty20 Cup wins.

The Sabres last night added a five-wicket success against Warwickshire to Monday's one-run triumph over Glamorgan.

Zander de Bruyn's 72 was the centre piece of their winning score at Taunton after the Bears had posted 187-5.

Saturday's quarter-final defeat to Sussex is Somerset's only limited overs loss in 10 completed games this season.

"We have had two close wins and we have shown good character to come back from the quarter-final on Saturday," said Langer. "We have played great one-day cricket all year.

"Zander is in great form. He is staying calm in the middle order and I think that is what you need to chase down totals in one-day cricket."

De Bruyn's innings was his seventh 70-plus score in eight one-day knocks.

The South African eschewed slogging for orthodox shots and admitted: "I am not that kind of batsman. I have my shots and I play them and we have such a balanced side the other guys can hit 20 or 30 off an over.

"I just try to keep the innings together and let the others play. The youngsters play all the reverse laps and sweeps and the shots I have never seen before!"

De Bruyn was confident Somerset would win at the halfway stage. "I can't tell you what a challenging total is at Taunton!" he said, only half-joking.

"It is such a quick-scoring ground that 200 seems to be par. We always thought we could get it (187).

"I think anyone would be happy batting on these wickets every day of their life. Unfortunately, we play away games as well and we need to play well at other places too."

There were two more wickets for young leg-spinner Max Waller and Langer hailed the 21-year-old's character in his first televised game.

"Max is a very good young cricketer and it is always nice to have a leg spinner," he said.

"He lands them very consistently. His third over wasn't a great over but he still came back and bowled well in his fourth and showed good character as well.

"Mark Turner bowled OK. He was a bit inconsistent and I don't know if he wasn't a bit nervous and trying too hard coming back into the side. It is always good to have him in the side because he has got so much energy."

Somerset CCC are at home again tomorrow night when Gloucestershire CCC visit Taunton for the west derby. The club have already sold 6,000 of the approximately 8,000 tickets available.
