Were Yorks and Hants that bad Or is there something slightly odd about the points system. Basically you can lose as many games as you like providing you win a few.....?

Corporal - yes, there probably is something slightly odd about the points system. However, it has to be appreciated that the paying customer wants to see both sides playing for a win - at least from the start of the match - rather than trying to eke out a draw and so initiatives like this are fairly understandable ....

Batgirl 1 has just spent 3 years at uni there. She really likes Southampton too.

I agree about having a soft spot for Hampshire.

I too have lived in Southampton for a number of years, as well as living in and around the county for about 15 years.

Another year of not being able to see Surrey play CC cricket at the Rose Bowl beckons.

Oddly, the other county I wanted to do well in Div 1 was Yorkshire...

Carberry + Mckenzie

hampshire certianly not giving the title away to warks..

metters finding a bit of spin now.

i think yorkshire will come straight back up, with the talent they have in their squad
