23 sixes in 22 overs - great to watch.

Shame they will be able to pace themselves over the full 30 overs

Think I'll go watch the second half in the summer house with a cup of tea. Set up nicely now for a good second half. Who needs the hundred when we've got 30 over cricket to enjoy :p

A frustrating day in Beckenham with Kent's game against Lancashire abandoned within 15 overs.

Kent started well before Lancashire were getting going but they went off for rain just after 12:00. They were going to resume at 2:30 and play 35 overs and then it rained about a minute before the resumption heavier than it had at any stage so far. It was then abandoned around 3:45. It was slightly frustrating when the sun was out while travelling home but with so much rain already and then further rain during the day it was clearly the only option.

It means we now have our first point. We now have three away games coming up. The next home match is against Hampshire on August 8th also in Beckenham.

Think Essex could be regretting putting Worcester in. Big favs to win this game but struggling now. Small ground though.
On another note it looks like rain yet again at the Oval tomorrow. Grim.

See the bookies have Surrey odds on to win at Glamorgan. Personally do not see it that way. Our team is even weaker without Atkinson.

Whose odds are you looking at Andy?

I can't see any odds quoted on Oddschecker

Bet 365 11/8 Glamorgan 4/7 Surrey . They will all be quoting the game. I have backed Glamorgan. If I lose I will not be bothered.

Thanks.

Had a little nibble at that myself

I’m at Sofia gardens
Surrey really are poor even for a third team
The tip for Glamorgan was a good one
Need 133 to win ��

Me too. Cashed in nicely!

Surrey v Somerset tomorrow. Hopefully a day with out rain. Surrey 4/5 Somerset evens. I think it should be the other way round.

Thanks for the nudge - have lumped on Somerset :p

I’ll be there….

Surrey beat Warwickshire by 7 wickets in the Royal London with Tim David hitting 140 off 70 balls

Really good day at the oval. Weather fantastic for a change and that innings from David superb. 11 sixes. Kept Surrey in the comp. Tim David deserves a deal next season on that innings alone. Great stuff.

:p

Does anyone know how the knock out phases operate? It looks as if Surrey need to beat Derbyshire tomorrow to be pretty sure of second place in the group.

As far as I can see that would mean a home quarter final against the 3rd placed team in the opposite group this Saturday.

BUT - there is a Hundred game at the Oval this Saturday. Does this mean

a) the date of the game is switched?
b) it will be played at Guildford?
c) Surrey will lose home advantage?
d) the 100 will be rescheduled to accommodate a county wanting to play at
its home ground?

Only d) really works for me getting to the game and that isn't going to happen so am pretty peeved; would have loved to go on Saturday. Anyone seen any updates?

It was a great day (and no rain!)

Tim David's knock was an unexpected joy, as well.

Did you see that spinner from Warwicks that stops in his run-up like he's left the house and forgotten his car keys or something? Extraordinary.
The quirkier he got, the further David kept depositing him into the Harleyford Road.

Yep. We all commented on that.

I would love a Surrey home fixture to clash with The Hundred. Of course the ECB would let The Hundred take precedence which would be very embarrassing for the SCCC management.
