Twenty20 is back!

First game tonight against derby who have scored 165-5. good total after we started well and kept them to 12-0 from four overs.

Able to listen to matches through tune-in radio on the iPhone this year rather than being sat near the pc!

Hodge out 10-1

Leics need 18 from the last over.

13 needed from 3 balls

McDonald our for 67.

We gave them 20 too many in their innings after the start we made.

Plus the loss off wickets on a regular basis , with no one really supporting McDonald.

Just got back from Glamorgan where Jimmy Allenby won the man of the match for them with a 54 against Gloucs. Shame he's not with us for the Twenty20.

Anyone been Northamptonshire? Thinking about going Tuesday night. Wondering whether it's worth the effort.

149-8 from 18 overs (reduced due to rain). 19 scored from the final over makes it quite a good total.

McDonald scored well with 49. We are really going to miss him. Also excellent innings from Henderson with 32 off 14 balls.

those late runs proved to be the vital in a good victory

Another good result that didn't look like happening with a mediocre total.

Although we have yet to post a big score we are doing very well with the ball.

Apart from the Derbyshire game we have bowled well. Although we had a great start in that game.

Northants given too many runs again tonight. Decent batting but the target was a big one off 18 overs. Disappointed, I thought we'd do ok this year

Northants given too many runs again tonight.

What's Gurney done to deserve his place in the team?

Against Lancs he only bowled one over, for 13 runs. At Durham he went for 54 from 4 overs, then 37 from 3 overs tonight.

Up until 3 games ago he had been really economical this season and last. But in the last 3 matches he has really been smacked around. I don't think Cliff or Buck would necessarily do any better so I would play Naik as well as an extra spinner and give Gurney a rest.

I am amazed we don't play 2 spinners,when we won the competition twice we used spinners,Snape,Claude and Mongia.

Our batting is not the strongest,so we really have to bowl well to stand any chance of winning games.

Good win today v Yorkshire. Another 60 for Taylor and 3 good wickets for buck. Thanks to the length of this competition we are definitely not out of this yet

 

[glyn]

Taylor made the fastest 50 in county's T20 history off 22 balls.

He seems to be a different player in T20 this year. Last year his strike rate was one of the lowest in the team.
