I am thinking we need Hain and Evans to get the majority of the 140 runs, we could so with winning this game so
COYB !!!!!!!!!!

It is certainly possible, particularly if the cloud cover dissipates and the humidity abates somewhat.

The betting on Bet365 is Durham 4/5 against Warks 10/11.  I plowed in at teatime yesterday at considerably more favourable odds, but I am far from confident.

So will teams qualifying from the same group be kept apart in this? If so then could it be a Bears-Pears final? That would be good.

The T20 Champions League has been shelved:

The ECB missed a trick there. It would have been ideal for September in the UK. As they dug their collective heels in, it was held elsewhere making it difficult for the domestic T20 champions to take part.

I'm sure it will be back in some form though, particularly as the domestic competition is reinventing itself and attracting top players like Gayle and McCullum.
