The Domestic t20 thread!

[NickisBHAFC]

Best competition and the competition that got me into cricket back in 2005!

Defending Champions Hampshire got a win tonight in the opening game against Surrey.

Micheal Carberry getting MOTM with a nice well batted and controlled innings. Hiting 60. Again showing and asking the question why hasn't he been pulled up. Personally i would open with him and Lumb in the England t20 squad.

What a game last night at Lord's. Here is my report - http://deepextracover.com/home/remarkable-rossington-trumps-philander-heroics/

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Philander - he hasn't got an English great aunt by any chance?

[NickisBHAFC]

Derbyshire beat Leicestershire yesterday thanks to a 83 from Tim Durston and 3-24 from David Wainwright. 

4 T20 games today 

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Murtagh - 2 overs for 34 so far for Middlesex against Sussex.  

[NickisBHAFC]

Sussex beat Middlesex thanks to a 81 from Luke Wright and 3-30 from Mike Yardy

Gloucestershire beat Worcestershire thanks to an unbeaten 108 from Micheal Klinger and 3-23 from James Fuller

Durham beat Yorkshire thanks to a 59 from Phil Mustard and 2-13 from Ryan Pringle

Surrey beat Kent thanks to an unbeaten 95 from Steven Davies and 3-22 from Jade Dernbach. 

Dernbach is probably international standard at t20 but not 50 over cricket. Luke Wright proving why he is so key to county and country. Phil Mustard name always appears to come up.

[NickisBHAFC]

Nottinghamshire beat Lancashire tonight thanks to a 52 and 1-12 from Dave Hussey. Proving to be there key man in the competition.

[NickisBHAFC]

[NickisBHAFC]

Derbyshire beat Lancashire last night thanks to an unbeaten 87 from Shivnarine Chanderpaul and  4-21 from Tim Groenewald. 

Derbyshire seem to be a right force in this years competition.

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Hamphsire, Middlesex and Surrey pulling away in the South group, as Kent and Sussex at the bottom have so far lost 9 out of 10 matches.

[Shelsey93]

Middlesex v Hampshire at Richmond today. Looking forward to it even if the train journey across London means I'll miss the end of the Test!

If Middx can win this one you'd think we have one foot in the quarters. With Essex and Kent in disarray and Sussex with only one win on the board there is a good chance that the current top three will advance.

[jimbohammers]

Should be a good game Shelsey, looking forward to hearing your report  

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Hants giving Middlesex an absolute hammering....    Need four runs to win with 35 balls and nine wickets remaining.

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Spoke too soon.  Wheels coming off!  Hants so far lost another two wickets in trying to get those last four runs...

[jimbohammers]

Another great win for Hampshire  

Carberry 43 from 16  

Vince 84 from 49
also 1 wicket for 5 runs off 2 overs    

[Shelsey93]

Here is my report - http://deepextracover.com/index/hampshire-openers-put-middlesex-to-the-sword/

I actually thought 160 was a very decent score. It didn't look easy to hit through the line and Hampshire, as ever, gave very little away with the ball (though Tanvir let them down a bit and the fielding wasn't at its best). Malan continues to be imperious in one-day cricket and shocking in four-day cricket and Voges batted well again.

With the ball we weren't great though credit must go to the Hants openers for the way that they targeted the short boundaries from the word go. It could be argued that we are missing TRJ (injured), Harris (injured) and Murtagh (rested), and Gus would certainly have wanted to play at least one of them in each game, but the fact is that none of the three are particularly fantastic T20 bowlers and probably wouldn't have made a tremendous difference. Whichever way you spin it I still don't think our bowling attack is particularly well suited to the shorter formats, something which might ultimately let us down.

Going forward it looks like 3 from 4 will reach the quarters. Despite being hammered twice by Middx, Essex still stand a chance of chasing the London clubs down so it looks like the London derby at Lord's next Thursday could be critical.

Having now seen all six South Group sides in the flesh Hampshire look by some distance the best all-round outfit. Surrey are the masters of defending scores so it might be that batting first against them is the way to go if we win the toss. Sussex still look superb on paper, particularly with the bat, and will be a big threat to Middx when we meet on Tuesday.

[jimbohammers]

Shelsey  

Carberry and Vince really do get us off to good starts. Both different types of players IMO, Carberry is power and Vince has the classy shots. I still can't believe Carbs doesn't get into England's one day team. England's loss, Hampshire's gain  

[jimbohammers]

No wonder Chris Adams was sacked from Surrey. The guy sounds clueless on sky. Just said that 150 on this pitch was defendable. The outfield is like glass and the boundary is like 10 metres

[jimbohammers]

Sussex are awful

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Sussex are awful

 ..and lose again.  To Middlesex.

[Shelsey93]

Another win for Middlesex. Top of the group but now a painful nine days off whilst all of our rivals slog it out before the London derby. Not an entirely convincing performance but more than good enough. Yet again Malan and Denly playing superbly in pink despite being pretty poor in white all year...

[jimbohammers]

Haaaaaaaaaampshireeeeeeeee

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Somerset on for a HUGE score at New Road

97-1 off 10 overs, Trego 60 odd not out

[NickisBHAFC]

Sussex are awful

 At T20 maybe

But were doing well in the competition, that really matters The County Championship #RealCricket

[Mat]

Somerset on for a HUGE score at New Road

97-1 off 10 overs, Trego 60 odd not out

And we still chased it!

Great knock from big Andre Russell.

[jimbohammers]

Convincing win by Hampshire tonight. Building up some good momentum going into the quarters. Carberry a class act as usual, don't know what he has to do to get in the England One Day side. Feel for him tbh

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Even allowing for unpredictability of T20 Hants could be difficult team to stop in this year's competition.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well Somerset need to re-evaluate their batting.

Jos Buttler only getting to face 8 balls of an innings when 4 wickets fell is criminal

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Interesting finish to that match Olly.  Warks failed in the chase despite only losing three wickets - that must be fairly unusual occurrence.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

It was indeed Corporal

They started off slowly, Chopra clogged it up.

Maddy/Evans get them to a position where they were clear favs, then Thomas/Arafat put on a masterclass of death bowling in the last 4 overs

[hodge]

Quarter finals for a 5th year in a row  

Does say however that the group is too easy for us in some ways, yes this year we didn't top it, but to always qualify 3 years in a row....

Wouldn't mind T20's being random groups each year.

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Yet another dismal batting performance by Sussex.  They really have got into a rut in this seasons T20.

[jimbohammers]

How do we see the quarter finals going then guys?

Surrey vs Somerset
Northants vs Durham
Hampshire vs Lancashire
Notts vs Essex

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I see Somerset beating Surrey (sorry Guildford and co)

Northants to beat Durham, although that's just a home advantage win for me

Hampshire to be too strong for Lancs

Same with Notts over Essex
