Hmmmmmm

Point should see Sussex through. Although as Surrey are the WEAKEST team in the group and BOTTOM of the league, we don't want to turn down 2 points. Some over rated South African and a bunch of crocked fast bowlers does not make a good side.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I don't think a ball will be bowled tonight.

Each group winner and the best placed runner up get the home quarter finals.
3 pts from 3 games would almost certainly guarantee a home quarter final, a lot depends on other results

Mid/West Group, One of Somerset, Warks or Worcs.
Somerset can get a maximum of 14 pts
Warks can get a maximum of 14 pts
Worcs can get a maximum of 17 pts, but they have to play Somerset

North Group. One of Yorks or Notts
Both could get a maximum of 17 pts, but play each other, so one 17 pts, one 15 pts max.

South Group. One of Sussex or Pants.
Sussex can get a maximum of 18 pts
Pants can get a maximum of 15 pts
Sussex and Pants play each other so either Sus 18, Pants 13, or Suss 16, Pants 15.

Of course, no results mean 1 pt each so it fucks it all up, which looking at the forecasts, is quite likely.
