Yeah. This is why we aren't the ipl or bbl.

We allow mid August games to start at 5.30 at a ground with no floodlights!

Should have put money on bad light stops play! #amatuerhour

What happens now??

What happens now??

Hampshire go through on the old Lewis and worthduck method.

[Sam]

Not the most entertaining way for us to get through but at least we're there, time to buy t20 finals day tickets for the 6th year in a row!

Am I missing something here or have they just tried to play an evening game without floodlights?

Yes they have. (Sigh) yes they have

[Disco]

Well that's staggering, I guess Sky have had a hand in this but what did they think was going to happen?

How miffed must the players be too, all those group games and you go out without being able to finish the quarter final, crazy stuff.

5.30 start compared to the usual 6.30/7. Works OK earlier in the season but when you get an overcast evening like tonight at this time it's not going to go down greatly.

Bet they won't make that mistake again. Complete farce for a QF.
The t20 blast continues to be a Micky mouse tournament

[Giraffe208]

They could have carried on though. I cant believe Wood didnt see the ball when he ran around the boundary got both hands to it, shelled it and it hit him in the face.

Don't get me wrong, it was stupidly dark but Nasser and Thorpe in Pakistan anyone?

[Sam]

Just realised the womens ashes test was probably the cause of this game being played tonight, if Canterbury hadn't been booked up with it for the week you assume Worcester being the ground without floodlights would've been given the day game which Kent now have tomorrow.

I think you are spot on here. Why they out a 5:15 start at a ground with no lights in mid August is beyond me. It would never have been light enough past 7:30 for cricket

Interesting BBC article....

Any opinions on these guys? I've seen Curran a few times and think he could be the real deal. Sibley needs a good consistent run.

[TangoWhiskey]

Both the Curran boys are decent. Tom has a terrible barnet though, needs to sort that out if he ever hopes to make it as an international. Both are Zimbabwe born though no?

[Buzz]

There are 3 Curren boys, they youngest is a batsman and will be the best of the lot.

Then again if you have Tom and Sam bowling at you in the garden, you would be a useful bat if you want to bat for any length of time

Church on Surrey radio has to spend more time discussing Tom's topknot than anything to do with the cricket. He is always asked about it by the other commentators...!!
