County Cricket 2026

Feel very sorry for Leicestershire, their lead up to the season was absolutely horrific through little to no fault of their own. If I was a supporter I’d be absolutely furious at Rehan Ahmed. It’s not all his fault of course but they’re in a very bad place currently and from what I’ve seen they look miles off Division One standard.

Still the only team without a win across both divisions
 
I mentioned on the Durham match thread that the Second Division is very congested, the First is even tighter, with just 20 points separating 1st and 8th.

Nottinghamshire 91
Warwickshire 86
Glamorgan 83
Essex 80
Sussex 79
Somerset 79
Surrey 74
Yorkshire 71
Leicestershire 46
Hampshire 40

Certainly makes for an intriguing summer so with what we’ve seen so far and both divisions are as competitive as I can remember for a long time.

I was disappointed for Somerset that the rain denied them a sure victory today. They had about 40 overs to get 3 Sussex wickets before rain intervened.

Glamorgan are a real success story so far, but as I’ve mentioned earlier; it’s sad to see Leicestershire struggling as much as they are.

Agree with that apart from feeling sorry for the wicket doctoring kernts.

Just realised Kent are now 3rd in the league. That's some turnaround.

There’s nothing in it in both divisions (Leicestershire and Hampshire aside). With two fixtures in June in amongst the T20 stuff, any team could put themselves in a brilliant position to come back in the final month of the season and launch an assault on either the Division One title or Division Two promotion depending on which division they’re in.

Durham are odds on for the title in D2, but I’m taking nothing for granted, we’ve got arguably the two toughest opponents to come in that block and a bad couple of games puts us right back in amongst the mushy middle.
 
We have a habit of coming unstuck after the T20 break but we've got some strong players in our team.

I'd be disappointed if we didn't go straight back up this season.
 
Morning all, important County Championship fixture at The Oval starts today.
