http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kent-c802 v Northants – Clydesdale Bank 40 – Matches end with no result
Rain cut short a couple of matches in the Clydesdale Bank 40 competition, with Sussex’s home match with Derbyshire and Kent’s clash with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Northamptonshire-c824 remaining the prominent no-result fixtures on June 10, 2012.
The match at Horsham allowed Sussex to become joint leaders in Group C however, the rain had played a pivotal part after they had been reduced to 111 for 5 in 24 overs. No play was possible after that which further meant that Derbyshire had to settle for
a point, realistically ruling them out of contention to make it to the quarter-final stage.
The visitors nonetheless, put in an improved showing with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ed-Joyce-c1417.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Arlen-Wainwright-c52641 cut short Gatting’s
stay at the crease. Yardy and Ben Brown then faced 18 more deliveries before the play was called off.
In the other Group C match, Kent were the recipient of a major setback following their washed out match against Notts. Celebrating the 100th Tunbridge Wells festival, Kent were hoping to earn sizeable revenue but had to endure a frustrating time
and a possible deficit of around $50,000.
After their four-day game with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789 was hampered by rain, the hosts were counting on their CB 40 clash as a major payday. While the fans did turn out, play was stopped several times before umpires decided to end the game - leaving Kent third and Notts
bottom in Group C.
Notts had reached to 168 for 5 in 32 overs, courtesy of strong middle-order displays from skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Wakely-c988 (42) and Niall O’Brien (46) before rain intervened and a revised target was set – 138 for 18 overs.
Kent could only play out 1 over, bowled by Sri Lankan veteran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chaminda-Vaas-c1223, before another downpour ensured that all parties went home unsatisfied.
