132/8. We appear to have a one-man bowling attack - reminds me of a quote about facing New Zealand, and Sir Richard Hadlee in particular, in the 1980s:

"It's like facing the World XI at one end, and St. Mungo's Primary under-11 second team at the other end..."

Quote[/b] (canveyshrimper @ June 21 2006,14:02)]The format where only the top two teams go through to the final is fatally flawed. If they stick to the basis of this format then at least the top 2 sides in each section should go into a semi final. I think the idea of the current method is to get the county clubs more revenue, but long term i can't see this working.

I think the ECB should cut their losses and revert to the knock out system asap.

The ECB have announced that they are introducing a semi-final stage in the competition for next season so now the top 2 will qualify. An improvement but still prefer the knockout system for this and go back to a full season of the Pro 40 league rather than just 8 games as is this year
 
All wrapped up last night...

Scorecard - Essex beat Derbyshire by 8 wickets
Report - Derbyshire v. Essex

I noticed this in particular:

"It means Derbyshire's miserable run at home continues and it is now more than four years and 32 matches since they won a championship match at the County Ground."

Blimey! Bet home games in Derby are a laugh...

Top result. I see that Bichel is going to make an enormous difference for the second half of the season... top man!

I've seen some useless records in my time but 4 years without a home win?! Must be fun looking at the fixtures... "Derby away June 23-27th - Another win then."

Still, it goes to show what a farce the league format for the C&G is, when both sides put out only second teams - Surrey with only four recognised first-teamers...

You said it SCCC only putting out 4 first teamers

Our 1 day 50 over form is shocking, our batting is ok sometimes but the bowling is no more than buffet style which opposition batsmen tuck into with ease

Still bring on the 20/20
