Relegation

Surrey are relegated.[DOUBLEPOST=1379688925][/DOUBLEPOST]

It's something that wouldn't surprise me. A Derby mate thinks it will happen and what's more, I don't think there's a thing at all anyone can do about it.

That's got to be wrong, I mean morally not technically. Contriving a result for the possibility of a win is one thing but agreeing not to go for a win should be investigated with the possibility of points deductions. My mam's family are all from Derby, I don't know if any of them are into cricket but I'd still like them to stay up.

I want Derby to stay up too. My worry though is that it could be near impossible to prove because let's face it, draws in four day cricket aren't uncommon, nor is both teams scoring 400 in first innings.

Depending what's happening with Derby Notts might need 2 bowling points too. If Somerset declare at 400-6i t would be obvious what was going on but difficult to prove.

I would like to think that both sides will go full out for the win, but that probably me being a little naive.

 

[Icarebecauseyoudo]

Derbyshire would have to just accept they didn't score enough points to prevent notts and Somerset doing what is likely

Notts were always somewhat suspicious about our record breaking game at headingley, so we prolly best keep quiet on the matter

That's cost Surrey their place on the telly.

lol

I always thought Sky was a Lancashire Wankfest?

Were u around in 1987 ish when Botham signed for Worcestershire?

Now that was embarrassing to say the least. The Beeb had their cameras nailed in permanently at New Road.

In fairness RVF, Worcs were a fantastic team to watch in those days.
