Despite the late rally from Sir Geoffrey Ranji ensures the non-native born have a representative in the semis as he advances 7-4.
Next up our champion post war keeper/batsman against a bowler for whom "legend" is scarcely an adequate sobriquet.

Not quite 24 hours, but 13-2 seems pretty conclusive so I'll step in to save the man of Kent (or should that be Kentish man, can never remember which is which) from further punishment. Barnes into the semis to make sure the bowlers have at least one rep.
Next up a genuine clash of the titans, could go either way, too close to call, couldn't get a fag paper between them, it's all about who performs on the day...
