"Sunny at the Rose Bowl with just the odd bit of white fluffy cloud. I've seen fans of all four competitors here today, plus even a couple from Glamorgan who were knocked out on Tuesday."

1119: Kent have a seriously long batting line-up, along with Ryan McLaren, possibly the best bowler at the death in the country (cue angry emails from Tyrone Henderson and Johann Louw). Mind you, Danish Kaneria will mix up his deliveries like a partially-sighted postman during his four overs, so expect fireworks.

1115: Who'd have thought someone who shares his surname with the southern hemisphere's largest crossbred wool city would be the most dangerous man wielding a chunky piece of willow in the land? That's Graham Napier by the way.

1103: And it will be Kent batting first in the opening game against Essex after captain Rob Key wins the toss.

1100: Crash, bang, wallop! What a cricket tournament! That's liquid cricket! And it won't be just the sixes that will be flowing should any one of Durham, Essex, Kent or Middlesex win this year's Twenty20 Cup final - the winners will be enjoying Sir Allen Stanford's full billionaire-style hospitality in Antigua come late October. More Malibu Mr County Pro?
