FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

The County Ground, Taunton, where Somerset played their home matches

In the 1891 English cricket season, Somerset County Cricket Club returned to
first-class cricket after a five-year absence. They competed in the County
Championship, which had been established the previous year. Somerset began the
season poorly, drawing one and losing two of their opening three fixtures.
Results improved and Somerset won five, lost six and drew one of their County
Championship matches, finishing fifth in the table. The Somerset team
predominantly consisted of amateur batsmen, supported by two professional
bowlers. Lionel Palairet led Somerset's batting in terms of both runs and
average, scoring 560 runs at an average of 31.11; he was also the only Somerset
player to score a century during 1891. Somerset's professional bowlers, George
Nichols and Ted Tyler, along with an amateur all-rounder, Sammy Woods, did
almost all of the bowling for the county; Woods led the bowling tables with 72
wickets at an average of 17.08. (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

San Pedro is a composite volcano in northern Chile and one of the tallest active
volcanoes in the world. It is part of the Andean Volcanic Belt and, like other
Andean volcanoes, was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the
South America Plate. San Pedro is formed of two separate edifices, the Old Cone
and the Young Cone, and is adjoined to a neighbouring volcano, San Pablo. The
Old Cone was active over one hundred thousand years ago and was eventually
truncated by a giant landslide that removed its northwestern side. Within the
landslide scar lava flows and pyroclastic flows constructed the Young Cone as
well as the lateral centre La Poruña. Some eruptions have been reported during
historical time, and presently the volcano is fumarolically active. This
photograph shows San Pedro in the foreground, with San Pablo visible behind it
to the right.
