everybody is playing in the CC resumption, so everyone will be in the same boat, anyway
I would have thought we'd be at the top of list to be shafted by the scheduling
Other thing is - why schedule a round of CC games in the few days between the group stages and qualifiers.
Especially when the final is a month away.
Typical!

Worcs NRR is 0.024 better than ours, so if we get NR'd and they win, they top the group

According to Martin Emmerson the forecast has changed - from a 5% chance of rain this evening to an 80% chance.

Rain until 9.15pm according to weather channel - no bad thing as it probably means we avoid Sussex.

well, this is all rather depressing
and wet!
just have to sit and watch what happens around the grounds. Nothing Durham can do to influence anything, so we'll just have to head into the quarters against whoever somebody else decides, on the back of a spanking and a washout... ideal preparation, or wot!

Worcester are flying 128-1 in the 14th over
Sussex flying too
Gloucs and Kent both up against it for the right to a home tie
perhaps they are deliberately trying to finish 3rd in order to get an easy QF against us

Sussex 150 up and still with 7 overs to go
perhaps they haven't heard that they won't get us

Gloucs are struggling
Ian Cockbain used up a 10th of their innings to score 3 runs
they must really want to play us

Worcs are on 177-2 with 4 overs remaining
going to be a biggie!
good luck Birmingham chasing this one down

looking at the way Gloucs are struggling, we might do very well to get them on Thursday

except that at the moment Sussex will finish 3rd and we'll get them
typical!
and not a damned thing we can do about it
also typical!

Match abandoned so we'll finish second unless Burmimgham chase down 200 plus against Worcestershire.

although...... if Kent don't chase down 202, then Sussex might well get a home QF
and we'll get Kent because they'll have a better NRR than Gloucs
oh lordy......... 81ao
