Bloody hell i looking at blue sky here

 

[Neil Pickup]

Devon need 33 off 36 balls with four wickets left...

 

[Neil Pickup]

Devon now need 8 off 12 balls with 2 wickets left...

 

[Swervy]

Devon vs Leic is tied...what happens now

Great win for Ireland.....hahahaha...Surrey out

EDIT: Devon go through on losing less wickets..nice one

 

[Neil Pickup]

Devon 156-9 vs Leicestershire 156 all out

My understanding of the Playing Conditions (Section 5.1.1) is that "the team losing the lesser number of wickets shall be the winner".

Yorkshire are coming to Exmouth - and I will be there. Productive use of study week, I reckon!

 

[Swervy]

another one which is shaping up as a potential upset is Hereford vs Worcs...Hereford need about 130 in 21 overs with 6 wickets left

 

[PommieMacGill]

well, me being a Woolyback (person from Leicestershire), I am absolutely disgraced. Full credit to the Devon though, i like to see the Underdog's go through!

Leicestershire have a lot of problems on and off the field and the Captain, Phil DeFreitas is the cause of them. He was the reason why Luke Wright left the club, he has caused a lot of unrest between players and as a captain he is nothing special. Like today, I mean Jeremy Snape and Ottis Gibson were our two best bowlers, the most economical certainly yet he only gives them 8 overs! I mean he bowled Brad Hodge for god sake's, why bowl Hodge for 5 overs when you have a former One Day International offie in your ranks? Makes no sense to me!

Didn't they beat Zim by 10 wickets last season. They seem to be pretty talented .

Indeed they did. Ireland v Zimbabwe

It was an absolute trouncing as well. If it wasn't for geographical difficulties, I think they might have a strong case for FC status.

Herefordshire 146-4 (29 overs) - Rain Stopped Play

The D/L par score by the best of my calculations is 279 * 55.4 ÷ 99.1 = 156

And Worcestershire would win by 10 runs.

 

[chris.hinton]

wrong by 16 runs

well done Devon

 

[Neil Pickup]

wrong by 16 runs

well done Devon

Wrong, 18 runs

Time to get my head round these tables... how many overs were lost due to rain in between innings?

oh well...and hereford only lost a wicket a few balls previous to them coming off

 

[chris.hinton]

which is good news Swervy

 

[Swervy]

which is good news Swervy

no it isnt...coz the less first class teams in the later rounds the more chace Lancashire have of winning the trophy...and i want Lancashire to make a clean sweep this season and get all four titles

 

[chris.hinton]

not a chance

 

[Swervy]

not a chance

hey i would say more chance than any other team this season

 

[Neil Pickup]

hey i would say more chance than any other team this season

And I'd agree.

In all honesty, so long as Yorkshire and Surrey win nothing, I'm not desperately bothered who does

they are the only two teams i am bothered about as well...they lose, i am happy

No but its been raining all morning and my garden is saturated

Damn, I was really looking forward to following coverage of Herefordshire vs Worcestershire from SpaceMonkey's garden as well.

Still, I imagine your garden is too small for a full blown county game though?

Langeveldt on the other hand...
