Dale Steyn in the group of 15 for today's game. Still no Amla though, is he done with Hants already or maybe just being saved for the next 4 day game.

That's it. Group winners into the semis. 2nd and 3rd teams from each group dispute the quarters.

Nope...straightforward win in the end, few overs to spare. Batting might have been difficult, didn't listen today so can't be sure.

Vince bowling in a one day game, that can't be right surely.

Thought they did pretty well yesterday actually. They were a bit behind the rate for a fair while but didn't panic. That we lost in the end was unfortunate but we probably deserved to because of the atrocious bowling for their innings. Still without Abbott, Edwards and Wheal what can you expect.

The Dutch aren't in the world cup. Might have a couple of friendlies though.

Just the one ?

What exactly have they to be happy about. They're in the Championship. Hughes did well enough for us at the end of the season. deserves his chance to take us forward.

And the "signing on fee". Cheaper the transfer the more they expect. No such thing as a free transfer, well not unless the signee is totally crap anyway.

Handy point, keeps us top..

Nah, did that all last week. Now suffering from acute sunburn.:)

Ah flute, really that bad eh !!

True. Bit of a bogey team for us with Wheater and Bopara always turning in decent performances against us.

Ironically Wood is the least expensive of our bowlers so far. Gone for just 45 off 9 overs.

Hah Bopara in now, he's another bugger who's got a few handy scores against us from time to time.

If our top order doesn't panic. Still Amla and Rossouw are in fair nick and may well give us a good start.

Never mind it was a rhetorical question anyway. Pîssed off with him taking us to the cleaners every bloody time we play them. Now 66 not out from a total of 120ish from 20 overs. Looking at the openers we have, you have to think we got this one totally wrong.

I have absolutely no idea. To sell to grockles I suspect.

3rd kit, probably only wear it a couple of times anyway. I like this season's shirt, see no reason to change it apart from greed.

Guess we're short of back-up bowlers. I see that Wheater is digging in and hitting out yet again. Have we ever got him out cheaply since he defected to Essex?

Bowling line up lacking Edwards,Topley and Abbott today. Wheal and Wood opening the bowling. Mind you Edwards and Topley went for a fair few runs on monday so it may not make much diifference.

Obviously because between staying at Fulham eventually in the PL and signing for Saints there would be very little contest.

The golden days of the academy seem to be behind us. Then again the structure is completely different I believe.

Bit of a wobble at the end but all in all a good result.

Looks like it's going to be a difficult run chase (unless it gets rained off). Bowlers got roundly smashed most of the time and 263 from 44 overs looks like a major ask.
