Well, we are there along with Chilcs and @pompeymeowth, just need @RedandWhiteManofKent to join us now....

Despite an impressive looking attack including Woakes, Briggs and Lintott, I do have Kent down to make it a clean sweep tomorrow.

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

Six od the eight teams that made it to the knock out of the T20 are in the top division of the CC

When is the draw?

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.

When is the draw?

I would assume tomorrow after the last QF.

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.

Great 50 for Captain Tom

Abell seems more than a capable batsman.

This is so sad. Chris Cairns, the former NZ all-rounder, has been left paralysed following a stroke during heart surgery.

Get well soon Chris.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

At last! Fabulous catch by Bairstow!

That’s awful news! Hope he recovers!

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 digging in . I'm not being pessimistic I am stating fact .

Still fairly certain we will win this test match

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

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