[TSB]

Does that mean we qualified?

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Yes, but not sure of a home tie yet.

Yes, but not sure of a home tie yet.

We need Kent to beat Essex (if they play) to guarantee 2nd place and a home tie.

 

[pasty]

Does anyone know how to work out when and who will be playing who from final league positions?

BBC only has dates and QF1 v QF2, QF3 v QF4 etc etc

 

[Pantani]

Have I got this right?

Essex need to beat Kent, or Glamorgan need to beat Gloucestershire and overturn a 0.6 net run rate to deny us a home quarter final. Cannot see it, especially as it is raining in Cardiff and Chelmsford too.

Lucky old Sussex saved by the rain again...

Yes, something like that. Or could we still get 2nd even if Essex win a very low scoring (thereby reducing their run rate) match?

 

[Mackenzie]

We've had rain all day (Cardiff area) can't see Glam v Gloucs going ahead.

Gutted that it's off, even though at least it guarantees qualification. Was looking forward to watching that, and had in fact already pounded the sofas cushions into couch potato configuration.

That. And the perfect weather forecast for Sunday (rain 10 till 4) means I probably won't get to watch my village team play.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Sussex have signed Alfie Thomas from Somerset for the 50 over tournament. Will allow us to rest Robinson who we are in danger of burning out (sore shins).

Blimey, someone has started the Friday Night Drinking Thread early......

 

[Jello]

I travelled up as weather in Hove was improving, but it was raining since I got here. Stopped for now but I decided I'd just watch it in a pub rather than risk getting soaked.

Glamorgan v Gloucestershire abandoned as a draw. No word from Chelmsford yet.

Glamorgan v Gloucestershire abandoned as a draw. No word from Chelmsford yet.

As a cricket pedant : a draw is in real cricket when there are not enough days left to have a result, a tie is when scores are equal, an abandoned match is a no result.

Apologies for myself.

You, sir, are quite correct. No apologies needed for such necessary pedantry.

As an aside, it seems there is some confusion as to whether the game is abandoned. BBC summary says wash out, but it's still saying 'delayed due to rain' on the scorecard.

Inspection right now at Chelmsford.

Home draw for Sussex assuming Glamorgan don't do something very special.
