The only thing I'm clinging to is that at least it makes next week's return game against them an even more of a must-win for them...and it also, probably turns it into a 2 horse race. Whoever wins has to be up there with the most mediocre champions of the past few years anyway!

Ah well, at least we can still laugh at Yorkshire....

Typical, the one time you want Yorkshire to do well, they get thumped, hope they go down and rot in Div 2 now

Unfortunately for you we'll be rolling over for them again next time out.

Spineless stuff, going from blowing the title on the last day of last year to a feeble relegation this one is quite good going.

Doesn't help when the England selectors seem intent on taking your best players out of your side for key games and then not bothering to use them.

You only had Bairstow missing this week didn't you? Add in the fact that Warwickshire had their best bowler Woakes missing as well this week and that's a bit disingenuous for the most recent match at least.

With the rain denying Worcester what looked to be a certain win we've got a lifeline but, as our last two games are Warwickshire and Somerset I don't hold out much hope - and our survival would pretty much guarantee Lancs the title, given they play Worcestershire next.

Sadly, I can't see anything other than both the disastrous things happening.

Tin pot trophy... Just hope that's not the start of things unravelling. Which it probably will be.

We'll be fine - you going to the Hampshire game, or waiting for the outcome of this weeks fixtures before making a decision?

I'll definitely be at the Friday, will be at the Saturday if it goes the full four days. Wanted to go to a day at Worcester this week as well, but unfortunately it ain't happening.
