[Durhamfootman]

Yes

Earned his corn tonight. 5 wickets and a run out

All happened very quickly in the end. Just as I was starting to get a little concerned

[Durhamfootman]

3 wickets in 3 balls, but no hat trick

[Durhamfootman]

49 run win with over 4 overs remaining

Has to be good for NRR

[Durhamfootman]

Just for the moment we are top. We won’t be in half an hours time probably

[Durhamfootman]

I’m wrong. We stay top with a marginally better run rate than Lancs

High flying Northants drop to 3rd

Me too. Every time we took a wicket that seemed to be decisive it was followed by a scare! Fortunately just a series of cameo innings without an Ackermann type onslaught.

[Durhamfootman]

That was our biggest ever total, seemingly

[captaincolly]

Weather forecast not great for tomorrow afternoon.

[Durhamfootman]

We’ve won 2 on the trot again, so I’d take the 2 points today

The top half of the table looks tight.

[Durhamfootman]

Lancs must have played yesterday because they’re top now

[captaincolly]

Lancs must have played yesterday because they’re top now

Yes, they won against Derbyshire.

[captaincolly]

A bit of a late scare with Barnard inevitably putting us to the sword, but another fairly comfortable win against a good side.

[Durhamfootman]

That’s the second time this season that we’ve won 3 T20’s in a row

Lancs must have battered derbys yesterday because from being behind us on run rate, they are now well ahead

[Durhamfootman]

Other results have gone our way too, with losses for northants and leics

In the past, when we’ve qualified for QFs we’ve done so in 4th place and had to play the best south team at their place. Am I being stupidly optimist to wonder about the possibility of maybe hosting a QF? Was the last time that infamous Glammy game that wasn’t against Yorks because of Rafiq?

[Durhamfootman]

IIRC, there was a very fishy incident at the toss, but I can’t recall what it was. Did their capt (Bermuda player) pick the coin up after calling it and then turn it over to make it the right call or something daft like that?
