Beatable.

Was so hard to concentrate on work in the office. Had the steam playing on my phone but couldn't bear to watch after Lilley got out. So pleased we got there in the end! Deserved to go through overall, I think.

Kent win it in the last over

[CosbehFox]

Kent it is. They nearly cocked up needing 3 from 6 balls - if Wells got the c and b they'd have lost that 

[Manini]

Brilliant! 

[worth_the_wait]

Great win. 

 

Tuned in to the stream at 66-6, and had to turn it off after watching one over.  The non-existant batting discipline with so many overs left, was unreal.

 

Anyway  got lucky.  All's well that ends well.  Can't wait for Friday!

Looks like it’s an 11am start. Not a day night like someone on here said

Sign Hendricks and Mulder up for next year. 

 

Give Stevo a year and what about Eckersley to open in the CC? 

[CrawlingFox]

This side is so, so strange.

 

We've bowled really impressively but our batting beyond Mulder and Kimber has been atrocious though credit to those who dragged us over the line today.

 

Lilley, Hill, Patel and Welch have contributed one decent 50+ knock each in this tournament but barely broken double figures the rest of the time. There's only one other 20+ score between the latter 3 at all.

 

I just don't get it, are they just completely out of form? Unlucky? Belief shot to pieces? I genuinly don't think the 3 are terrible batters.

 

Anyway we've got this far so fingers crossed they've been saving the runs for the knock out stage. Steel came in and didn't take his chance.

That was the best game this season, low scoring games can be so exciting but my nerves won’t stand much more like that

Was thinking it would have been a decent watch for the neutral!

White ball formats only, perhaps?

Surely we'd prefer Naveen in the T20 format if he wants to return?

[K1FOX]

If we get past Kent it’s a trip to Sussex on Tuesday. Won’t be easy but could set us up for a final against notts at Trent bridge. Tasty

A technicality away from qualifying for the knockout stages of both white ball competitions. How do we view the season?

White ball 7/10

Red ball 3/10

Red Ball 1/10, solely for two of the most embarrassing defeats I can honestly remember

I'd agree with that. Too much of the red ball season has veered from frustrating into embarrassing.

 

White ball we've been decent especially our bowling.

[Lionator]

Yep, we are definitely one of the stronger white ball counties (top8), sadly nowhere near in four day stuff. 

[Sorrel Common]

Hampshire away if we get past Kent. 

[worth_the_wait]

Big game today.     Just packing my food and drink.     Feel like an excited youngster again!
