I always want Yorks to lose, so it is not really surprising I want them to lose today In any case, if you are a supporter, you want ur team to go through regardlesss of how. So if it means others have to lose, you hope they do because you want your side to go through. Leics are awful, stating the bleeding obvious.

Disagree. "Any way" could mean a range of things, from dubious catches to dodgy umpiring decisions. As a Middx. supporter, I want them to go through because they're good and deserve to (ha ha, some hope). There are exceptions, the Ashes being one. But if Bangladesh had narrowly lost to Afghanistan in the WC and England squeezed through, would I have been happy? No. They wouldn't have deserved it. I always want Yorks to lose, so it is not really surprising I want them to lose today True enough!

Any way meaning fair and square. Also my whole point was that Durham sneaked through to the knockout round last year and won the whole competition, so it is a question of getting through the group.
And I will be the first to admit that Durham haven't been good enough, but given that I don't want Yorks to go through, it means I'm hoping for a big Northants win, which will
A. send Northants and send Yorks out B. also ensure Durham go through in fourth place.

Highly doubt Leeds will get any play today looking at the radar. Sky again at a game with no play.

The way you were yesterday you would have thought Durham were bottom of their group with their opponents being the Leicestershire under 9s!

I know, but I am pessimistic. I would love for Stokes to be released for the QFs but I don't think he will, eventhough England don't have a game for another week and the ODI series doesn't start till Sep 3. But hey, hopefully, one of our bowlers are fit soon.

Surrey win and top the group, bring on the QF's.

Sean Dickson finally makes his Kent debut today! Shame the impending weather is woeful so I doubt he will bat... That being said, the forcast for Old Trafford is quite poor too, meaning Kent will qualify in 4th place! So fingers crossed. Up the Kent!

Actually the Notts game is on 25th and live on Sky. So there goes Durham's hopes of retaining the trophy.

Even though it would have made it more difficult, I would have loved to see Stokes and Wood play today.

If we play 50 overs, i predict Notts will become first team to score 400.
