Notts just beat Worcestershire that sets up next week's match at the oval brilliantly especially if Surrey draw today which appears likely.

Live on Sky too.

It’s mad though, I genuinely don’t rate that Nottinghamshire team. I can’t get over how bang average they are and yet look at them. Suppose it’s a lesson to our lot of what you can achieve with hard graft, belief and a togetherness.

I think division 1 is bang average this season. It shows how much counties rely on effective overseas and the diminishing stock of kolpaks. Not many teams fielding two overseas never mind genuine quality ones.

Even we managed to beat them!:lol:
 
Notts could be in with a good chance against Surrey after recovering in their second innings from 53-5 to 219-8.

Could be the title decider

Been a fantastic game, but of rain around tomorrow though apparently so that could drastically alter the dynamic.

Great signing that, exactly the type of signing we should have made, although it’s probably a tougher sell for the club given it would be second tier cricket he’d be playing.

Delayed start again, oddly enough the forecast said the rain should pass by 09:00 and be dry for the rest of the game.

Sky are showing Day 4 of the Surrey game, and have got Hussain and Dagnall out of bed, and they're broadcasting the standard CC feed.

I do think the ECB and Sky are missing a trick by not having more games available through the season on the cricket channel or Sky Sports +. They did this with streamed content and part time commentators in football, why not cricket.

Now that all CC games are streamed daily (a fantastic innovation that doesn't get enough credit IMHO) and the production quality and graphics are reasonable, it's worthy of a bigger audience and SS+ would have a lower requirement for production quality than the main channels might.

It would require the ECB to give a hoot about the profile of the County Championship, mind, but they might actually manage to extract some cash out of Sky and advertising, and we know they love cash.

I've said for a while that a studio based show with highlights from all the games would be a winner. Give it to Sky for free and let them produce it, hours and hours of cheap content.

Its a shame that they're trying to destroy the CC rather than promote it, so it'll never happen.
Congrats to Notts.

Not a massive follower of the county game but looked more closely this season with having a T20 ticket with the little one.

No wonder there's question marks over the current county game with only 3/10 of the Div 1 teams winning more than 3 games all season currently.
Without looking in great detail what level of impact does the weather typically have on draws compared with teams (particularly Durham!!) being unable to take 20 wickets across the 4 days?

It’s not helped that we’ve had 4 rounds of Kookaburra rubbish.

I'd guess quite a few of those drawn games will be the kookaburra ball games
 
Glamorgan join Leicestershire in being promoted from Division 2.

Huge congratulations to both sides after so long down there.
