And during the 1980s but it’s a long repeated story of poor ECB fixture scheduling. Every other Sunday there would be a 40 over game, give the Counties a chance by scheduling one day cricket at weekends and championship matches in the week.

The good news is there are 4 to go, 2 home and 2 away so as you say not out of it yet

Don’t the club have to spend a certain amount on players anyway? Pretty sure that money can’t be siphoned off around the rest of the club either. It’s ECB rules or have I imagined it?

They’ll forego home advantage I guess.

On a side note there is a 50ov QF being played today at Grace Rd, Middlesex u18s posted 285 and Leicester are currently 143-1

Less championship cricket at weekends and more Sunday one day fixtures, let the clubs have a chance of making some money. Championship cricket only loses the club money whether it’s in the week or over a weekend. I enjoyed Sundays Glamorgan game, it took me back to when we could regularly enjoy Sunday cricket. Northants announced a decent profit and they are very similar to us in size, so it’s possible.

Nearly 57 and 5th run out practicing for a wolf run, managed 5k in 23 minutes, really pleased, I dread going but feel great afterwards (if not a little achy) I only go once a week as I don’t want to damage my joints at my age.

Enjoying The Boys on prime.

Not sure, probably a bit of both

Sussex always seem to go big

Durham might sneak in and they’re bang average

Let’s be honest we’ve struck lucky only playing these and Lancs once, and it still looks like we will miss out.

Aaron Lilley all over again

Is Goldsworthy available to sign? What a great young player, he played a really mature innings getting us out of the mire alongside Rehan. 4 home wins, it’s been a while since we’ve won that many home games, although someone will prove me wrong.😑 😂

Ackers and Parky would of been big earners .

Won’t the 2 games overlap though?

Hopefully Travaskis will be fit probably Swindells deserves a chance as well.

It’s going to be a scrap, maybe he’s the man best suited to working on a tight budget with an average squad, it’s uninspiring but it’s going to be a battle to stay up and we should get behind him.

3 years is just bizarre, I really can’t get my head around it, are no lessons being learnt?

What a great all round performance, everything clicked.

Odd one batting so slowly, although could of been right bowling

I think it was our turn to “miss out” on the women’s international as it’s shared out between a few counties, it’s our to host the women’s 50over final.

Grassy green pitch it seems, or maybe doesn’t seam for our bowlers

🤣 everyone is allowed a mistake

Anyone who thinks it’s pointless don’t turn up, as for the rest of us let’s celebrate in style! 🦊
