[superkingdave]

Ooops, put the mockers on him, still the guy coming in to replace him aint to bad

 

[chris.hinton]

There you go

Come on Worcestershire

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Fantastic catch by Hick there

 

[marc71178]

Worcester 24-4 - but they're through already aren't they?

Knight and Wagh are pacing this chase well so far I think. 71 needed from 57 balls.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Oh dear Chris, Worcstershire aren't going to get a home tie in the quarters, mefinks.

Essex, meanwhile, do get one if they win. If Irani stays in, I think we have a chance - he's in, we're 11-1.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Oh dear, Napier out...

Still, Irano in.

And Nottinghamshire's middle order get 3 golden ducks in a row!

 

[Swervy]

c'mon Lancs...66 off 9 to win

 

[Swervy]

c'mon Lancs...66 off 9 to win

50 off 8.5..yippeeeee

 

[Swervy]

oooops..i got the number of overs wrong...oh no and Flintoff is out..i am worried again

 

[Magrat Garlick]

No worries. :P

Warwickshire couldn't chase 135...muppets. Oh well, they should still go through.

Unofficial tables:

MWW: Glam 8, Worcs 6, Warks 5 (NRR about 0.5) Somerset 5 (behind on NRR), Gloucs 4, Northants 2.

North: Leics 7, Lancs 6, Derbys 5 (NRR about 0), Yorks 4 (game not finished), Notts 4, Durham 2 (game not finished).

South: Surrey 9, Hants 6, Essex 5 (game not finished, NRR about 1), Kent 4, Middx 3, Sussex 1 (game not finished).

So, that means Leicestershire, Lancashire, Surrey, Hampshire, Worcestershire and Glamorgan are through...Warwickshire would have been had they won, now they have to hope that Durham chase 127 at Chester-le-Street (111/3 with 20 balls to go), most likely Essex are through too, unless they get trounced by about 4 overs by Sussex.

Wasn't that a hat-trick for Corky too?

Bit of cunfusion, Cricinfo says tie, bbc teletext says warwicks won on losing fewer wickets, guess i'll believe Cricinfo.

good to see Lancs through, shame we won't see flintoff in the quarters, will we?

 

[superkingdave]

Guess it must have been, Pietersen, Ealham, Patel he only bowled one over so it cant have been split between two and there wasn't a run between the wickets

Well, why bowl the last ball then, if Warwickshire would have won on fewer wickets down anyway? They couldn't have taken two wickets with one ball (oh, hang on, run out off a no-ball...never mind)

Right, that means we have the eight teams then (unless Essex screw it up extremely badly against Sussex):

Home: Surrey, Glamorgan, Leicestershire, Essex (if they win, otherwise Worcestershire)
Away: Lancashire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Hampshire.

Is it a random draw, or 1 v 8, 2 v 7, 3 v 6 and 4 v 5?
