Last year's winners Leicestershire were knocked out earlier in the competition (I believe due to the weather) so there will definitely be new 20/20 champions this season!

So tomorrow 4 teams shall be tussling it out for the last 2 places!
11:30 - Lancashire v Gloucestershire
15:00 - Sussex v Kent
19:15 - Final

Final is taking place at Edgbaston (Warwickshire - so no Home advantage for anyone)

In between match entertainment looks amusing at points, a 19 mascot assault course :') and er.. Mutya Buena and some X-factor reject singing too..

Team News:
Lancashire will probably have Andrew Flintoff (Batsman only), James Anderson and Sajid Mahmood all playing in what looks to be a strong side with other players like Muttiah Muraliathian (sp?), Mal Loye, Dominic Cork, Brad Hodge (highest scoring batsmen in 20/20 history) and Stuart Law!

Gloucestshire will have New Zealand "tratior" Hamish Marshall to give them some batting strength as well as England hopefuls, Jon Lewis & Alex Gidman.

Sussex will have current England Wicketkeeper Matt Prior at their disposable, as well as the dangerous Mustaq Ahmed, Rana Naved and Michael Yardy.

Kent will have Sri Lankan paceman Lasith "Slinga" Malinga flown in especially for the finals day to start his 3 week long spell at the club. Other dangermen for them include captain Rob Key, future English prospect Joe Denly, Wicketkeeper Geraint Jones and Yasir Arafat.

If I was a betting man I'd say Lancs v Kent with Lancs winning it!

I think Kent have a great chance - Flintoff wasn't too clever the other day batting.

County games are crap. International ones are better to watch xD
But seeing as Manchester is in Lancashire, Lancashire ftw.

Cheers ;) I should of stuck with Murali, eh? :P

Good semi-finals! I got half my prediction right, since Kent made it I'll say I want them to win now :P

I can't watch the Kent batting though, annoying... so I'm listening to 5Live, and they're rubbish compared to Bumble's jibber jabber.

Why did Lancs play so many different bowlers :S They didn't need to bring Hodge into the attack, that helped them lose confidence.

And yes you did, nicely predicted. Although I didn't think they'd all be able to play Lasith so well o.0

Normal ODIs arent boring if 2 great teams are playing.
India vs Pakistan is the most watched game ... only because the two countries hate each other xD .. and that makes their matches fun to watch.

Australia vs South Africa is also one of the most watched games as they are practically the best teams in the world.
