County

[Brauny]

5 down. Running out of batsmen.

 

[Brauny]

231 for 6

66 off 12 needed.

Run rate is alright but the wkts are the problem.

 

[Brauny]

Closing in.

22 needed

 

[Brauny]

Won by 4 wkts with 14 balls to spare.

Excellent win for them against the table toppers

 

[mickyhoss]

Brilliant Win

 

[mickyhoss]

Bad luck Nico

 

[Billsballbag]

Another decent bounce on the run rate as well.

 

[Billsballbag]

And as a nice touch, those player pinchers up the road collapsed.

 

[mickyhoss]

I reckon that some of the lads are pleased they put one over Paul Nixon

 

[Billsballbag]

It wouldn't surprise me. Something went on and it would be good to know what it was.

I never saw him on their balcony but Richard Rae said that he was there in full Hants kit

We were the table toppers at start of day... albeit on run rate (which went down as a result of today, as did Hampshire's)

We're clear top now, next three at 'home'

 

[Club_B00k_Crutchless]

Decent performance that

The table I last seen said Hants were top so I don't know what happened since then.

Because all of the media switched off on Friday & buggered off home before the late game (ours) had finished.

 

[Brauny]

What is the format for this.

I know both groups have 9 teams, so I presume everyone plays each other once (8 games)

Then who qualifies? The top 2 or 4 ?

Is it straight to the semi finals or quarter finals ?

 

[mickyhoss]

3 from each group go through. Top 2 go straight into the semi final with home advantage. The other 4 have a quarter final to see who plays in the semi finals.

 

[Brauny]

I see, it makes a pleasant change for County to be in the mix.

 

[TopFox]

Not a fucking peep about this competition on the bbc website at the moment. They really are cunts.

We lost to Kent in the quarter final last year

Forgot about that.
Just so many lean years in most things County have done apart from the early days of the 20/20 It does seem they have a more competitive team this season.

It's all about the pointless Hundred

 

[mickyhoss]

Hopefully, It'll be scrapped, it's no more than manufactured rubbish.

 

[TartanFox]

'Home' to a struggling Essex tomorrow at Kibworth CC, hope the weather stays fair, a load of work has gone on down there to make the day a success.

Should be OK, looks like a clear day tomorrow. I hope they stream it

Has Nixon gone the Hampshire then?

 

[mickyhoss]

Has Nixon gone the Hampshire then?

Aye, short term contract

 

[shanetko]

At York tomorrow for Yorkshire Surrey with Yorkfox. I should be cheering Surrey I guess looking at table?

 

[Breadfan]

Aye, short term contract

They must be desperate, or want to try before they commit for longer. He did a great job for the Foxes as a player, maybe not so great as a coach but with limited resources.
Going to miss Ackermann next season. I would have broken the bank to keep him.
