Date-stamped : 07 Jul97 - 06:17 Somerset revived by Reeve By Doug Ibbotson at Chelmsford Somerset (211-6) bt Essex (209-9) by 4 wkts THE Dermot Reeve influence has been much in evidence in Somer- set`s spirit and performance at Chelmsford over the past five days. A handsome championship victory over Essex was followed yes- terday by a four-wicket win in the Sunday League with 16 balls left. The efforts of the former Warwickshire captain and new coach at Taunton are clearly seen in the realisation of latent talents like those of Michael Burns and Piran Holloway. Somerset, chasing 210, were given a scintillating start by Holloway and Burns, whose partnership of 88 featured three sixes straight driven by Burns off Peter Such. Though Holloway fell lbw for 37 in Stuart Law`s second over, Burns reached his half-century off 50 balls without scoring a four, eventually falling for 83, his highest Sunday League score. As in the corresponding first-class match, lost in three days, the Essex batting lacked cohesion and thrust, with only Stuart Law (43) exuding any authority. The Australian hit an array of boundaries straight from the coaching manual, including a brace of imperious straight drives, a huge pull and two carbon-copy late cuts off successive deliv- eries from Kevin Shine. Meanwhile Paul Prichard had departed cheaply, slashing Graham Rose to deep point, and Darren Robinson had somewhat fallen into Law`s shadow. Ronnie Irani cross-batted a catch to deep cover and passed on the habit to Paul Grayson, who soon offered another catch to deep point. After Steve Peters blew a chance to impress by being bowled while sweeping at Mushtaq Ahmed, the pressure was thrust upon the redoubtable Robert Rollins (38) and the unlikely lads Such and Mark Ilott, who added 28 in four overs for the last wicket.
