County Cricket

Lancs got it done, remarkably, but look to have too tall an order now. They seem to have drawn less games this year, which is good, but they've lost lots instead.

Oh and well done to champs Surrey, I suppose.

^^ Mathematically Lancs can still stay up, but unlikely, they would require a maximum points win against Worcestershire & for Notts to gain 9 or less points, a Lancs win would give them a tie breaker advantage over Notts if the finish level.
Yorkshire need 10 points for promotion, less than that if Middlesex fail to make maximum bonus points & a win.

Fair play to Surrey.
Three championshop titles in a row is a fine effort. Snooks says grudgingly .

Despite having a large catchment area, Surrey still hoover up all the top players from other counties, they are by far a richest county club, they should be winning it ever year.
Still, a great way for Alec Stewart to sign off his time as director of cricket, I have a lot of respect for the man.
