Even with the loss of the 9th wicket Lancs have half a chance here - I don't rate Glamorgan's chances chasing 160+. Kent, on the other hand, are toast.
It will doubtless follow the usual pattern with early inroads for Lanky followed by a stumble over the lower middle order who will limp home - would love to be proved wrong though, obviously

Ravi is in people, huddle round the TV screen, whilst our hero bestrides the crease.

In other less godly news, exciting finish at Colwyn Bay.

Riazzudin's bowling is everything i dispise about county cricket. How can someone make a career as a bowler bowling 70mph ****.

And some select tweets about bopara for you.

Is Bopara *really* one of the 15 best ODI players we have? Really? #depressing

Briggs has bowled well, he is unlucky that Tredders did well with Swann's absence.

Can't say the Hampshire seamers have impressed me much.

Some great finishes in County cricket this year, been top stuff:)

3rd time this week Napier has got runs against us.

Unless they go mental in these last 3 overs I would be confident of chasing.
