Jeez.

We nearly screwed that up.

Wow, how did Snater do that ????

He will never know- we don’t.

It felt to me that the sky commentators wanted the Bears to win.

Cracker!

Why have I chosen to support Essex and Leyton Orient. They both give me heart attacks.

Phew.

Can't get to finals day, but I hope Essex are first up in the semis as Mrs NES has booked us to see Madness' "Our House" at the Queens Theatre in Hornchurch in the afternoon.

I felt the same.

Cracking match. Almost managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Stop throwing away their wickets and they could go all the way.

Yeah definitely.

I got 10/1 about them winning outright , still 5/1 to do it after winning tonight so I've had a few more quid on

Good luck Ron. I can't see it myself. We scraped over the line twice after being in winning positions and before that we lost 4 in a row. However T20 is a lottery so they have every chance if the big names perform.

All four quarter finals won by Southern qualifiers, the Southern group is so much stronger than the North. Sky will be hoping for a Surrey vs Somerset final.

I won't

Surrey v Somerset is one of the semis.

We are up against Hampshire who have already well and truly beaten us twice, it can't happen a third time can it?

In T20 you're only as good as the next game. We're firing on 3.5 cylinders. Got to be in with a great chance if we don't throw away our wickets.

Dan Lawrence should be available and I hope his batting is on song as it seems to have been since the move to Surrey was made public. Ravi Bopara left after we won the T20 in 2019, hopefully it'll be in the stars again, that we win the T20 when losing a good player at the end of the season. We can but hope.

Looking at weather forecast DLM might be the winner.

Please no.

When are we going to get Browne out of our team, another duck today!

I have a horrible feeling he's got another season on his contract but it doesn't mean they have to pick him , he is absolutely useless.

Oh look Surrey and Middlesex championship match on sky. Fancy Surrey being on AGAIN…….

They're probably gagging that Surrey get to the final on Saturday!

Another wonderful collapse today, 275-5 to 282 all out!!
