| Twenty 20 Cricket |

“The Twenty20 Cricket Cup, a major new addition to the cricket season - The action-packed competition, which replaced the Benson & Hedges Cup in the domestic calendar, will feature two weeks of group matches between the 18 counties - and an exciting finals day in July at Edgbaston.
npower were confirmed as the first official partner of the Twenty20 Cricket Cup, with Philips unveiled as a sponsor of the competition and Nectar as a marketing partner.
Each match promises non-stop big-hitting entertainment for 20 overs a side, lasting under three hours and played from 5.30pm-8.15pm - making them an ideal summer evening out for children, families and office parties alike.
There will also be an exciting entertainment package at match venues including music, promotions and quality food and beverage offerings, plus a variety of interactive activities for the kids.
All 45 group matches - the 18 First Class Counties are split into three groups of six teams each - will be played over a 12-day period, thus intentionally scheduling the competition around the longest days of the year. Essex and Sussex may stage floodlit Twenty20 Cricket Cup matches in the group stages, and the timings for any such matches will be confirmed in due course.
All Counties are guaranteed a minimum of two Twenty20 Cricket Cup matches at home. The winners of each of the three groups and the best-performing runner-up will progress to a finals day, at which both semi-finals and the final will be played.
The tournament will be covered on TV by Sky and Channel 4, and by BBC Radio - capturing the unique atmosphere of a new fast-paced concept where every ball will count.” |

| So the vital information that I can gleam is this: |
|
| • |
Teams in third place from top and bottom will feature in a play off at the end of the season |
|
| • |
40 over cricket, departing from 2005’s 45 over set up |
|
| • |
Essentially the same as the old Sunday league set up |
|
| • |
Essex Eagles are defending champions |
|
| • |
County teams involved have silly nicknames and will wear pyjamas, not whites |
|
| • |
Scotland/Ireland won’t play in it |
|
| • |
The name DOES suggest that it’s for 40 year olds and over, even though it’ll be for 1st-string county sides |
|
| • |
The play off at the end of the season marks the end of the domestic season |
