NatWest t20 blast 2015

[hopeforthebest]

Essex, Glamorgan and Gloucs all sweating over the rain. Sussex also, in terms of whether they get a home QF. I guess technically we should be too, but even if play does go ahead, Glamorgan need a miracle to overhaul our NRR.

If Essex's game is washed out, Glamorgan will pip them to 4th if they can get their game on, and win it. If Essex's game goes ahead, then that open up the chance of Gloucs (or Glamorgan) to overtake Essex. But it also opens up the chance of Essex jumping into 2nd and getting a home QF.

Can you say that again please.

A 5-over aside thrash has just been confirmed between Glam and Gloucs, subject to the rain. 8.57 start, which is the very latest they can start. Gloucs have won the toss and will bowl.

If Glam win, even if by just one run, they will pip Essex to 4th place and be rewarded with an away QF vs Brum.

Nothing Essex can do but sit and wait.

Birmingham Bears are top of the league, regardless of what happens tonight. That is all you need to know HFTB

A maiden in a 5-over aside game!

Maybe promoting Wagg wasn't the best ides after all.

[Alviro Patterson]

Another failure for McCullum, he's not earned his pay as a batsman that's for sure. On big innings and a host of failures.

Clean bowled by a 17 year old, England bowlers take note!

Quarter finals this week.

Jayawardena returns for Sussex tomorrow. I think it will be the first time that they have him and Bailey in their team together. Jordan also returns from injury.

Meanwhile, Bell, Buttler and Moeen will all place for their respective counties having been made available by the ECB. Cook was also made available, but Essex have opted against selecting him.

Was looking forward to going to the #youbears game on Thursday. A quick look at the forecast and it could be a washout!

Sussex really struggling after a cracking start.

Jordan better bowl bloody well after that effort with the bat.

Innings of two halves.

Inevitably so much will come down to how Northants start. They're capable of smashing their way through the powerplay. But they're also capable of being 40-5.

There are bad days, then there's scoring 6 off 12 in a T20 followed up by having 18 taken off your first over.

Not exactly his day.

(Not that I'm disappointed. Like Dernbach and others, I don't see Jordan as being good enough to deserve to play international cricket. So when they get smashed around in county cricket, a part of me does always feel quite good. Now that's not sporting of you, Brendy).

This is the Willey England want to see.
