The second half of the Clydesdale Bank 40 League begins next week and some interesting odds on Skybet for the winners of the competition.
Without doubt my 2 bismarcks (sp) for this has to be:
Essex at 6/1
Nottinghamshire at 14/1
Essex always seem to have a good campaign in the group stages but when they get to the latter stages they seem to somewhat choke and Nottinghamshire despite being the reigning County Champions and probably the best side in English domestic cricket have had a woeful season in all forms of the game and cannot honestly see them doing much.
I am sticking with my original prediction of Somerset to win the CB40 although being biased me I am tempted to have a wacky wager on my beloved Lancashire at 50/1 mainly because the team are in form in all competitions and both Essex and Somerset who are in Lancashire's group have to come to Old Trafford and get a result and I personally think there could be a sting in the tail with who reaches the semi final from that group!.
