Also from next year the Twenty20 cup will have a quarter final stage. The top 2 from each group and the 2 best runners up will qualify.

Cool...This'll make Twenty20 even more better. B)

I'd like to see it expanded to 20 teams, bringing in Scotland and maybe Holland or Ireland. If you played that in 4 groups of 5, it would eliminate the need to have best runners up.

I've just been to see Surrey beat Gloucestershire by 60 odd runs. Fantastic match under the lights at the Oval leaving Surrey 4 points clear at the top of the first division.
