Kent beat Durham in the group stage...

Anyway, the draw is...

Warwickshire v Kent
Durham v Notts

not really

don't have a geographic link to anywhere , when I was a lot younger I was a bit of a somerset fan as when I started watching cricket you had botham , Richards and Garner there , but even that was always pretty tenuous

so fairly neutral tbh when it comes to the counties , I do try to watch any coverage tho just as a cricket fan

OK. I think you live in England. I live in Notts, so though I support my hometown county, I still have a little goodwill towards my local team.

I do now but not really the same "adopting" a county because you move there in your 40s

cant understand why any team would have the guy who has been their top scorer in the competition batting at #8 so as soon as one wicket falls at the other end he is left batting with 3 #11s basically

big scores are about partnerships usually and surely they need to give billings more than just one chance at establishing one

they must see him as a finisher so dont want him in the top 4, but with his form this season he shouldnt be coming in lower than 6 surely
