Another thing, on the scheduling this year... we finish the group stage  the quarter-finals are A WEEK before Finals Day in September. Utterly ridiculous, and likely means empty seats at Edgbaston in the four competing teams' allocations.

No worries. Finals Day will be the 4 southern teams as usual .

I thought 220 was a good score but Essex are having an absolute yard sale at the moment - everything must go.

I reckon Cox could have scored 10 6s in a row if needed. And god knows how many he’d have got if we played another 10 overs….

Batting pitch mixed with some pie throwing (Fuller / Howell especially) 

[Andrew Watson]

Some innings by Cox after a very decent Hampshire total,however Dawson has been let down again by the pie throwers brigade of Howell and Fuller,after he bowled his heart out yet again.

Not quite sure why Fuller bowled the last over there

Basically came down to rubbish bowling resource management by stand-in captain Chris Wood, who has pretty much always been one of our death bowlers throughout his career but rather than take responsibility and get the job done he burned his final over with three to go, and then gambled that they'd need too many in the final over that Fuller or Howell bowling pies wouldn't matter.

Thought as much, I was thinking Currie was going to bowl the last over to be honest.
