What a shocker!

2 big fixture days over the weekend (Fri-Sun), and a near total wipeout thanks to the weather... shows the sense involved when scheduling a massive number of games over a short period in England.

not sure Durham will garner much of an advantage, because they play up here tomorrow, and it's forecast to keep on raining for the next 2 days

hey............ it is the summer in England, after all...... why would anyone expect anything else

We should outsource our limited overs tournaments to the Middle East.

Very impressive run rate of under 3 with 21 overs gone and 4 wickets down, wonderful.

67 for 6 after 26. You'd be forgiven for forgetting that we've been the dominant side in Division 2 this year or that we're through the QF in the T20.

I see Tymal Mills is playing for Sussex.

I guess he was bored with just committing to T20.

Including Karl Brown and Faulkner in my FL team has put too big a burden on Lancashire.

Durham might have dodged a bullet, picking up a point for not playing Affable Ajmal and his faithful sidekick, Dodgy the Doosra.

He bowled an absolute load of tripe.

Well that went badly, hopefully we won't get dragged into any NRR situations. Well batted Ravi mind.

is this a TV game?

has the weather finished things off, or do I have to have to stay up a bit longer while I wait for play to resume?

Glamorgan :bow:

chasing down a 300+ score that they would probably have lost if it had come down to Duckworth Lewis

Coles didn't bowl out despite taking 3 wickets and with all 50 overs bowled.... injured?

Don't think so. Thomas was preferred for some reason.

Can't believe Kent lost that. :no
