Twenty20 finals day

So after much shenanigans the teams on duty on Saturday are clear. The two teams the ECB want to get through to the final as they include no ICL players - Middlesex and Essex. The two teams with the worst 5 year, prior to this year, T20 records Middlesex and Durham.
And (has anybody else noticed ?) only two main shirt sponsors - Middlesex and Durham advertising the ill starred Northern Rock with Essex and Kent carrying Shepherd Neame's Spitfire banners.
