I think Notts have been out of it from about week 3

we couldn't get the final wicket though, but a comfortable win.... one we desperately needed

I wonder how many years it's been since we last won 6 games in the dribble?

I'll bet we've only won 6 games in the last 2 seasons combined

Probably!

Northants lost to Leicestershire. Wasn't expecting that.

[Durhamfootman]

nor me

puts us up to third in the table

I wasn't expecting that either

[Durhamfootman]

2-15 for Sowter, he's a great player for us to have

3-15 for Parky, which will do his confidence the world of good ahead of Sunday's Norty showdown

[captaincolly]

One win from the last two should be enough?
I always have us as second favourites in any T20 game so my expectations are low. If we do make it to the knockouts it seems extraordinary unlikely we could beat 3 of the strongest sides...but then again it's the most unpredictable form of the game so it's not entirely out of the question.
Sowter has been brilliant.

Northants at home, Derby away

Northants would be a good scalp to get. Feels like a long time since we beat them. We couldn't even beat them when we bowled them out for 117

[Durhamfootman]

I think we'd have to win both of them, unless it tosses it down on Sunday.

Both have a game in hand and both would go above us if they win that game in hand... of course they might have to play each other in that game in hand

[Durhamfootman]

no they don't sadly

Derbys play Worcs and Northants play Warks, both on Thursday..... Judgement Day!

[captaincolly]

Even less confident now of we need two wins! Still at least we're in with a chance which seemed even less likely than usual after the first two games!

[Durhamfootman]

we have the same NRR as Northants, which surprises me a little. Both negative -0.379

That is a surprise. Forecast looking poor tomorrow, could well be a washout although those forecasts aren't always reliable.

[Durhamfootman]

the forecast I'm looking at suggests it will rain overnight but then begin to dry up, so maybe it will be okay by 2.30

Hopefully it will. I was planning to go.

[Durhamfootman]

have you been to any yet? I've only been to the Yorkshire game

good to see that we are winning home games now. I wonder if that is being reflected in the attendance figures
