[Is it PotG?]

Kent win

 

[GT49er]

Were loose - I'm afraid. Collapsing spectacularly.

Eats words. Are the humble pies on tonight?

 

[bhafc99]

Well, amazing from Garton and we win in the end. But Kvnt have just won too, so....

Need to win at Chelmsford on Sunday

Well, we can't drop below 3rd, and we have a decent NRR. I guess it will depend on the NRR of the other 3rd placed teams AFTER the last round of games; i.e. if we get stuffed we could lose out.

Could well get one of the best placed third even with defeat. A victory will secure it.

Away tie in the next round beckons though.

May go myself.

Oh...

We're looking good to get through as a 3rd place qualifier aren't we, looking at the other groups...

At the start of this campaign I thought we had a formidable team .
But we flatter to deceive.
We might scrape through to the quarters but we won’t win it .
We are too reliant on a few commendable batsmen and Briggs .
Too many have hidden behind them .

I have to disagree, we are just a Jordan or Mills light in the bowling at the moment.

Finalists last year.

Salt has effectively been playing nets for 3 weeks.

Bopara is playing himself into form.

We bat all the way down, just lack that strike bowler at the moment.

No side will want us in the 1/4 finals

Not often that T20 run chases are simple.

Brilliant from Garton.

Big game on Sunday.

Sussex all but qualified for the quarter finals. We’re on 11 points with 1 to play. Kent (12) vs Surrey (14) who’ve already qualified with a home tie. So we need a Kent loss and a win vs Essex to finish second. Top 2 from each group qualify. 2 best 3rd places from the 3 groups join them.

Good news is, no team in the south group can catch Sussex in third. Only way Sussex can fail to qualify is if either Durham or Leicestershire WIN both their remaining games AND Sussex lose AND a run rate swing of 0.2 happens. It’s possible we qualify tonight if results no our way in the North group.

It’s also possible Sussex qualify if 2 of Somerset (7), Birmingham (9) and Northants(9) fail to match 11 points and our run rate. They all play 2. Northants playing Somerset now, so that helps the cause! Northants play Birmingham on Sunday too. So if Northants win today and Birmingham lose, I’m sure that guarantees a best place third finish too.

Will get back to you after this round of fixtures!

Yes. Good analysis. There are several ways we go through (hopefully tonight!).

 

[Eeyore]

I wonder if they get Archer, Jordan back now ?

No they’re in the IPL which starts tomorrow

Good work. That sounds pretty hopeful.

To be the most successful county you clearly need a team of players who aren't quite good enough for international cricket.

Leicestershire were a great example in the 90s. Sussex in the 2000s.

A thankyou for winning us the game by “doing a Gwylan” would have been nice.

They've both gone the IPL haven't they?
