The Format The 18 counties are split into 3 groups of 6 which are regionalised - North, South and Mid/Wales/West groups. The groups consist of: South Essex Surrey Sussex Middlesex Hampshire Kent Mid/Wales/West Glamorgan Gloucestershire Warwickshire Worcestershire Northamptonshire Somerset North Lancashire Nottinghamshire Leicestershire Derbyshire Durham Yorkshire Each team plays 8 matches, 4 at home and 4 away. At the end of the group stage the top 2 in each group goes through to the quarter finals and are joined by the 2 best runners up. The quarter finals are played and then we have finals day where the semi finals and final are played on the same day which this year is at Edgbaston.

Re: Cricket: Twenty20 Cup 2007 3 outrights for me to begin with and the same 3 to win their groups. 3pts ew Nottinghamshire to win Twenty20 12/1 Totesport (1/2 1,2) 2pts Nottinghamshire to win North Group 7/2 Bet365 Nottinghamshire have everything you could possibly want for this competition. Runners up last year and that hurt the Outlaws especially as they lost to local rivals Leicestershire in the final on home territory. They've strengthened their squad nicely with the additions of the powerful Will Jefferson and the classy Mark Wagh not to mention Bilal Shafayat. David Hussey is in excellent nick and should score a lot of runs in this competition. Stephen Fleming knows how to lead a team to victory in this competition and in Charlie Shreck they have a guy taking wickets by the barrel load. Mark Ealham's a canny cricketer and with a couple of useful spinners too, Notts tick every box. Ryan Sidebottom could be a big miss but I feel there's adequate cover for him. If Hussey gets going this lot will be away and gone. They have a fairly weak group with Derbyshire unlikely to pose a threat and Leicester having doubts over the loss of Darren Maddy. I think they'll win their group, get the home quarter final and go to Edgbaston and claim the title. 2pts ew Worcestershire to win Twenty20 25/1 Skybet (1/4 1,2,3,4) 1pt Worcestershire to win Mid/Wales/West Group 6/1 Skybet Worcestershire went quietly along in the Friends Provident trophy where they eventually finished 4th in the Northern group after a bad start to the campaign. In recent times they've suddenly come into a lot of runs with solid contributions coming from Phil Jaques, a player who may well be one of the players of the tournament, Vikram Solanki and Graeme Hick. With the ball they have the useful Kabir Ali and Doug Bollinger and they have the spin twins Batty and Price. I fancied Worcester last season in this but Lou Vincent never really got going for them. Jaques is fearless at the top of the innings and if he bats anytime then the Royals will put scores up. With their efficient bowling attack I think they'll qualify from a wide open group and have every chance of going all the way. They're overpriced at 25s and thus we're on accordingly. 2pts ew Kent to win Twenty20 20/1 Skybet (1/4 1,2,3,4) 1pt Kent to win South Group 6/1 Blue Square Kent have a decent side and I think they have the makings of a team capable of going all the way. Much will depend on Andrew Hall but if he has a god tournament then Kent are sure too. Last summer he was as effective as they came with the ball and this year Ryan McLaren and Yasir Arafat are around to back him up. Their batting lineup which includes more strokemakers than power is capable of scoring runs but they shipped them easily last year too. With Arafat and McLaren in though that's les likely to happen. Everyone at the St Lawrence Ground have had an extra year to formulate plans for this competition and having had a decent Friends Provident campaign I think the Spitfires could well take the South Group and be at Edgbaston on August 4.
