Sussex Notts and Surrey looked a decent enhanced special at 4s prior to the off

Now 52 for 3 after 9. Not looking good.

Lancs 116 for 5 after 17. Now raining.

Should be back on soon, if Lancs can get up to 140/150 in these last 3 overs, we've got a slim chance, but Sussex must be heavy favs.

I saw Allott out in the middle gesticulating at the umpires. Seemed to take ages to get the covers off. Mills last over was bizarre - no ball, wides, a couple of pull ups at the crease and a couple of wickets. Villas just gone too - looks like no finals day for Lancs !

140/8

maybe 25 runs short

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 3:07 pm

Slow track and the spinners could come into play, but I'd agree 20-25 too short I'm afraid, early wickets are a must for Lancs.

Sussex same as Lancs after 6.They are 34.2.

I don't have the words for just how good a bowling performance this has been so far. Stunning.

Glad I didn't sigh when he brought Livingstone on to bowl and he was hit for a 6.

Honest I didn't I knew he would take wickets

martin_p · Post by **martin_p** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:14 pm

77-6. Ours to lose now!

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:14 pm

Lancs favs as it stands, but in T20 it can change quickly, stunning bowling display thus far though, RR nearly 11 an over now.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:15 pm

77/6

MacLeod gone probably last dangerman

make that 3/8 3 wickets in 4 balls and on a hattrick

CBT · Post by **CBT** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:19 pm

Probably looking to far ahead but if lancs get to final it's going to clash with the Newcastle game

It has been as near to perfect a bowling and fielding display as I can remember.

I had tickets for finals day too

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:27 pm

Assuming Lancs win, last 4 will be Gloucestershire, Lancashire, Surrey, and the winner of the Notts/Leics game that takes place tonight.

martin_p · Post by **martin_p** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:29 pm

That’s it! 95 all out.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:39 pm

A 45 run victory that's a lot in T20, and their batters never got going, the contributions of Croft & Vilas proved vital in the end, and the spinners proved tough to get away again, how many times has that been said over recent years.

I'd make Surrey favs, and possibly Notts if they make it through to finals day, but you've got to be in it to win it as they say.

I don't thnk that any of us saw that coming when we had only scored 140, however, as jdrobbo said, that was a near perfect fielding and bowling display witih only one catch put down by Vilas right at the end -----and that was difficult!

Super, Super John,

Super John McGinley.....

It's nice when a spinner takes wickets without having to let them slog him to the long boundary isn't it?

Another Finals day for Lancashire, meanwhile the Chubby Sloggers from headingley invest heavily and miss out....... again.

I'm absolutely delighted that a large number of Clarets will be celebrating your participation in the world's biggest cricket competition.

There's going to be some giddiness on here on Finals Day.

Super John McGinley now taking wickets for Leicester as well..... you should invest in some of these decent spinners, they might finally get you to finals day

Sadly I think the weather will get in the way

Sickener for Leicestershire. 2 midfields in the last seven balls cost them their place in the final. Would rather have played them too.
