Just like the previous game, there was almost never a point until the last coiple of overs that I felt we were more likely to win, so it felt fantastic to wrap that up. As was said earlier, huge turn around from how bad we were at the start of the group games, and into the semis we go!

This was FAR more comfortable than the previous 2 games, we won easily in the end. Indeed I "called it" once Mulder went to make it 214-6
The other QF was far closer, Lancs (341-7) overhauling Notts (338-8) with 9 balls to go
Singh for Quinn is the only change from our squad for tomorrow's semi against Hants. Can't see us changing a winning side so Logan and Singh expected to miss out.
Is D B-D involved with the Hundred thingy or injured?
"Involved" is a bit of a euphemism. He has at least played four games (with limited success from what I can see) whereas Leaning's involvement is zero in the five weeks that he has been with his franchise. The ECB dictate that no Hundred player can play for his county so Leaning will probably not have picked up a bat from his last match in the CC on 28th July 'til the next one starting on 6th September - that's six weeks.
That said (and I might be on my own here) but I really do hope that, should we reach the Royal London Final, we pick the same team that got us all the way there. Yes it does lesson our chances not to have any of those eight or so players involved in the Hundred but I would much rather see us lose it than utilise their services. We have already seen the message sent to Robinson when this has happened and we know what is likely to happen as a result.

Hampshire murdered Kent when they met at Beckenham, so even with our improved form will surely be strong favourites. The return of Podmore to our team has improved the bowling though

Anyone fancy some dog sitting next Tuesday....

Mr F said exactly the same thing last night.

I've managed to tie in with BBC commentary if that helps
