How many 40 over county games have there EVER been where the team batting second scored more than 325 and won?

It can't be many! We've obviously got a problem with 325 as I am sure that is what we posted when we lost the Natwest Trophy in 1993.
I thought that this one might have been one of them, but the second batting team lost and it was 50 overs.

Interesting that he has ended up at the Unicorns. His career record is quite good.

He played for Somerset in t20 champions league when Trescothic went head mental again and did fairly well. He's the only one of the unicorns that i've heard of.

Couldn't agree more - I said at the start the only player I'd be worried about is Durston...why the f*** is he 'club-less' ?!
Not being able to defend 325.
Bounce back with a win against Gloucestershire/Worcestershire (I forget which one) midweek, in the 4-dayers to knock the Welsh off the top.

The answer appears to be that this is the first ever occurrence:-

obviously the sussex players thought "oh, its ok, everyone is being positive on that north stand chat thing so we can go easy and lose the game"

Should have done the decent thing and told Arafat where to go.
As for the rest of them - jokers, absolute jokers.

Because I was really being serious weren't I....
thats the problem with this negativity - there is NOTHING serious about it
today has been nothing short of a f***ing disgrace. losing when defending a 300 plus score against a team of players not good enough to secure county contracts is just unacceptable
but, yeah, lets make a big joke out of it and not worry. if they keep performing like that they'll win f*** all in one day cricket this year

I know but Naved was doing quite well (Or did he have to go?), I don't mind Arafat but he does bowl some utter tripe sometimes.

rana was only ever signed as vocer while arafat was away on international duty
i would rather we had let arafat go and signed rana permanently. unfortunately though, they seem to make decisions based as much on emotional reasons as cricketing reasons
