    Despite finishing top of the southern group, I can see Kent letting the south down, but would be lovely for a clean sweep.

    Must be the first time in ages that Kent will be at full strength. Billings, Crawley, DBD, Denly, Milne, Ahmad, Blake. Throw in Klaasen and Milnes, and that's essentially an entire XI considered good enough for the 100.

    So the meet up at Edgbaston will be Somerset supporting Chilco, Hampshire supporting Tom, Sussex supporting Pompey Lapras and perhaps RAWMOK if Kent do it. Sounds like a good day out

    Yes and Cox and Leaning saw us through some matches as well, there is some depth there and big hitters. It just that supporting Kent is very much like supporting saints, many great moments but just fall short on the big occasion. Not sure if young Darren Stevens will make it.

    An all south group final. Otherwise known as the best batting side, the best bowling side, the best all-round side, and the best miracle workers.

    Abell seems more than a capable batsman.

    Jordan going to Surrey and Salt to Lancashire. TBH they're both going to play a lot of franchise cricket going forward so not sure how much they will play for their new counties.

    India will need amazing concentration to bat through …… it’s possible though, but England need a breakthrough ….
