Clydesdale Bank 40. Sussex v Northamptonshire

[Knightsworld]

Northants fielded a very poor side, packed with youngsters, because they are already out of this competition. Utterly stupid grouping & qualification system, think the ECB want rid of 40 over cricket

Weather and picnic we took were both nice, but I had wanted to watch some cricket as well.....

Is it still the 3 group winners plus best 2nd place team to the semi's, or are there quarter finals?

As you have said, no quarter finals, total cock-up of the best 1-day format, ECB need shooting.

It was the 40 over format that got my kids interested in cricket.

Bring back the old Sunday League!

Quite agree, my favourite 1 day format but think it is going the same way as domestic 50 over cricket. In 2-3 years time I reckon we will have 4 day County and T20 only, not that we will be asked our opinion of course......

adn what happens when the kids get bored with 20/20
