apart from the bottom two, of course

6 group matches left plus the 2 at the end

going to go down to the wire, this one

I could easily end up losing 7 players for the last 2 matches, so I need more of a cushion, I fear.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of those FL's where the out and out leader from day one gets pipped at the post on the final straight and with the finishing line in sight

another abandonment.... match 25 this time

and a 4th No result for the Spartans

an extra 100 runs from Steyn would have helped enormously

I remain utterly convinced that I need a bigger cushion

match 27 joins match 25 and many others in the 'abandoned without a ball bowled' bin



as bad as the Dribble

if Durban beat the awful Jozi, and there is no reason to suppose that they won't (assuming the rain doesn't scupper it), then the final 3 teams will be Durban, Paarl and NMB and that will mean that the 2 contenders for the FL title will go head to head without having any of the same players in their sides..... which feels unusual
