Lancashire (A) 26-29 Sep (Sky Sports)

Looks like Warwickshire are going to join Gloucester for the drop. Hampshire need just 138. Prefer Yorkshire stay up. Could be Scarborough again, infinitely better than Edgbaston.

Come on Glam, I don't want to go to Lords and we just might get Colwyn Bay.

You don't get your wish, Chinaman. I haven't been to the ground at Colwyn Bay but I didn't like the town as it has the busy A55 running where a promenade should be. From memory you have to use a subway or bridge to access the beach. Worcester looked lovely as always on the live stream but overnight rain (where did that come from?) has wiped out day four. Goodness knows how we'll go next season, what with having no money, or where the line will be drawn to remain in the top whatever in 2024, if the HPR gets its wicked way with us.

Oh well. Congratulations anyway. Maybe it will be Radlett.  Still looks like Warwickshire going down. Good finish if you are watching it. 10,000 are, but no one watches County Cricket! Colwyn Bay ground is lovely by the way, there's no subway or bridge that I recall.

On another note this Warwickshire/Hampshire game has been a thriller

Why the fuck would anyone only want 10 games a season of this

Well Yorkshire are down, but what a performance by Warwickshire. Anyone who thinks T20 or the 100 is better than this needs to see a specialist. Stick it up your bum ECB. Norwell 9/43.

Looks like Scarbados is off the menu for the next few years as well, esp if this 3 tier league system comes in the year after next

and just to think that Yorkshires best player (Root) was in Scotland playing golf

what a performance by Warks though, esp Norwell

You'd think he would want to play for his County. If the ECB have "rested" him why is he playing golf? After all Bazball broke his leg doing that.

So Hants lost to Warwickshire and finish third . Yorkshire are relegated and Warwickshire survive . Norwell takes 9 wickets . Unbelievable Jeff .  Championship cricket is alive and well . Ditch the hundred and all is forgiven.
