Heaven

As previously declared, Nottinghamshire Outlaws have a home quarter final against Hampshire Royals to look forward to in three weeks. In the mean time we have some proper cricket coming-up. With Alex Hales taking longer to recover from his strain, could Neil Edwards make a return?


Someone making a return is that most dour of cricketers, when things aren't going well, Steve Harmison. Harmy's return however isn't for Durham but for that most dour of counties, Yorkshire - a match made in heaven(?)!


Yorkshire are currently a couple of senior bowlers light with Mitchell Starc called-in by the Aussies and Sid being injured, hence Harmison's loan deal.

The Q/F games are

Outlaws v Hampshire Royals
Sharks v Gladiators
Somerset v Eagles
Carnegie v Worcestershire Royals
