Titles, Promotion & Relegation

So just the relegation and promotion to sort now me lads…

Could we see a 2024 Division One Anschluss at Trent Bridge? :eek:

Nottinghamshire (needing 10 points) host Warwickshire (needing 5 points) where a draw would see both teams safe - assuming Nottinghamshire pick up two bonus points across the first innings’ of the game.

Lancashire travel to Worcestershire who have (likely) seen their excellent run of form ended at Hampfrica. The Pears are safe and may well be ‘on the beach’, or they could end up producing a fantastic performance to send their members into the winter happy now the pressure is off. Either way, Lancashire will likely need maximum points (or thereabouts) just to give themselves a sniff.

Lancashire ultimately look all but down. It’s too early to predict the weather, but I really can’t see any of the two sides at Trent Bridge doing anything at all to allow themselves to be drawn into bother.

Into Division Two, Sussex need 5 points (home to Middlesex) to be crowned champions and Yorkshire, who host Gloucestershire will need 10 points to be assured of promotion.

It’s tough to see a situation where Yorkshire don’t get promoted really, Gloucestershire aren’t a bad side and they’ve got a really good bowling attack, so it could be naughty if the conditions suit and the toss goes the wrong way, but the Yorkies seem destined to be coming up to the top table again.

You better get on the bat phone to Gloustershire because i think they and Glamorgan are under the impression they are both at Cardiff next week fighting it out for 6th and 7th place😳

I can't see their being any change in the table in both divisions.

As weather will have it's say.
 
The more I look at that Nottinghamshire v Warwickshire fixture, the more I believe they’re going to manipulate a draw in order to shaft Lancashire :lol:

Lancs were one of the biggest critics of 5 points for a draw.

If had stayed at 8 they'd have been in touching distance of both and a draw would have been no good for Notts/Warks.

So serves them right to an extent. Rain will make it hard for any side to force a result you'd suspect anyway.
