T20 QF's, 24&25 July.
Weather set perfect for all 4 semi finals, all 4 games live on sky, 2 on each night & my team still in with a chance of making Finals day for the first time ever!!!
All set up perfectly to go totally wrong, but I'm gonna have my annual QF acca.....

Somerset v Essex
Going with the home team who seem to make finals day every single year. Without Tresco' this time though, and faltered towards the end of the group stages but I think they'll have enough at home. Essex always dangerous though, and if it was at Chelmsford I'd go the other way. Probably the most attractive of the semis, and toughest to call, but Somerset ftw!
Sussex V Gloucester
On paper it looks like a no contest, the bookies seem to agree and so do I. I see it being the most 1 sided of all the QFs. Sussex far too strong with bat and ball, probably the favourites for the whole comp. Toss will be important, and 1 outstanding performance from the visitors could cause an upset but can't see it myself. Easy home win.
Yorkshire v Worcestershire
Yorkshire v Worcestershire
Great draw for my team against the outsiders in the comp. I cannot see how we can fail to make finals day for the first time! We got some great momentum going after a shaky start in the group stage, destructive batsmen all the way down and a bowling attack that never knows when it's beat.
Worcs have a couple of match winners, but if they don't come off, they don't have much else in reserve. Key men in the middle order for Yorks are Ballance and Miller. Lookout for some huge accelleration from the lower middle order towards the end of the innings.

Should be a walk in the park for the mighty YCCC!
Nottinghamshire v Hampshire
Nottinghamshire v Hampshire
This will probably be billed as the closest game of the 4 by the pundits but I disagree and expect a comfortable home win. Again home advantage will be key, both of these teams are dynamite at home, Hampshire not so much away....
T20 often comes down to 1 or 2 individual performances on the night, Notts full of match winners and should be too strong. Lookout for England opener (and in my opinion the closest thing we have to KP) Alex Hales!

Loads of varience in T20, but with the weather set fair for all 4 games, rain/duckworth-lewis wont be one of them for once!
Gone for all 4 favourites, home advantage is obv rly important so 4 home wins too.

If I can get the right result in the first game (4pm tomorrow) I'll be alot more confident of getting all 4 up!
4 fold pays just under 5/1!
