Play has been delayed in Rotterdam where Gloucestershire were due to play Holland in the Clydesdale Bank 40-over competition. This is bad news.
Seeing as this is the most ridiculously-scheduled domestic season of all time, I thought you may appreciate some clarity on the tournament’s current situation.
The facts are that Gloucestershire are desperately in need of maximum points from the game as they look to qualify for the semi-finals on September 11th.
Only the winner of each of the three groups qualify automatically, and they will be joined by the best-placed runners-up. Yorkshire are running away with Group B, but Gloucestershire and Essex are fighting it out for the second spot.
In Group A, Somerset look likely winners, with Sussex and Surrey still in contention. Group C meanwhile is much closer, with Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire, Hampshire, Kent and Durham still hopeful of qualifying.
So Gloucestershire will want to play today, but the forecast is not good.
