Kent are the best team in Division 2 by a distance, but Surrey were pathetic yesterday: bowling of the buffet variety, laughable fielding errors including two fairly straightforward catches going down on the boundary (otherwise Kent's first innings lead would have been negligible) and a top order batting collapse. That's the second game running we've batted first, put more than 400 on the board, and still been beaten. At least Key & van Jaarsveld failed to notch their customary centuries against us. Almost anyone else could go up in second place.

So who on the Yorkshire staff has money on them getting relegated? That's the only explanation I can come up with for another piece of McGrath captaincy magic yesterday.
/>
180 in front with 8 wickets left going into the last day, desperate for a win. So we spend 30 overs in the morning putting on 70 or so then take our bat and ball home when Notts - who need the win themselves - won't agree a declaration target.
/>
FFS have a blast in the morning, then quit around lunch leaving them 320 or so in two sessions and see if they fancy a chase. Even if they don't, there might still be time to give them the jitters with a couple of quick wickets.
/>
To just bat the day out in a show of petulance was pathetic.

| Good win for Lancashire against Kent yesterday, excellent bowling and fielding restricting the league-leaders to just 162 then getting almost halfway there til rain ruined it...I'm sure we would have easily knocked off the remaining 83 in the 23.2 overs remaining but a D/L win will do...keeps the 2nd Division Title race boiling nicely!!
And in other great Lancashire news, the 2nd XI have made both the final of the 3-day competition (against Surrey at Old Trafford from Weds this week) and the one-day competition (against Yorkshire on Mon 21 Sept) venue to be confirmed.

Good job they did, as the gamble of only playing two front line quicks is backfiring hugely with Sussex closing in on 400 for the loss of just 5 wickets.

Game heading for a draw, but looks like they'll get the better of the bonus points as Yorkshire didn't pass 400 within the 120 overs so only got four batting points.

I wouldn't bet your house in it. I've seen Surrey lose two recent games at Essex & Kent and last week we came close to losing another to Northants after grinding our way to 400+ batting first, then conceded a first innings deficit to opponents who scored their runs faster. A first innings lead of 100 or so for Sussex would give them a real chance of forcing a result if they can make early inroads in the second innings.

| Sussex won the Second XI Championship after Lancashire got into a great position and then imploded. Seems some things run right through the club...

It was actually Surrey, not Sussex, who won the Second XI Championship! Although as Tom Smith, on loan from Sussex, made 86 not out and took five wickets for Surrey perhaps that was a Freudian slip.
Just for the record, Surrey secured a "winning draw" by bowling out Lancs for a smaller first innngs total of 438 in what was theoretically a two innings match. If Lancs had neither overhauled Surrey's first innings score of 500/8 dec. nor been bowled out in their first innings the championship would have been shared.
It seems a bit strange that Jon Batty, who has played in every Championship match for the 1st XI and scored a century in the most recent one, was Surrey captain for this game. I assume there are eligibility rules for a game like this to stop anyone packing their team with first team players? The rest of the Surrey team for this game have played very little 1st XI cricket this year and a couple of 2nd team regulars including captain Laurie Evans were missing.

It was a first team-esque like collapse after tea!
We needed 106 in 34 overs with 5 wickets in hand and still lost by 62 runs. If just one of the 4 players who got over 50 had gone on to make a ton then we'd have won it.

Ah well, on to Scarborough on Monday!!

Phew! Thought we'd blown it big style the way Sussex started their chase, fair play to them for giving it a go though.

As an added bonus, we're above [ithat lot[/i in the table too!

Sussex look all but down now, 15 points adrift. The four teams they can theoretically catch by winning their final match at Notts are playing each other (Lancs v Warwicks & Yorks v Hants) so a couple of mutually convenient draws look likely.
/>
The race for the second promotion place from Division 2 has gone right to the wire. Five teams still in with a real shout, and they're involved in four different matches in the final round. If Derby v Essex produces a result the winners ought to go up. Derby's excellent opening pair of Chris Rogers & Wayne Madsen and Danish Kaneria's brilliant leg spin for Essex are the key factors that could swing the result their team's way for me. Otherwise I fancy Northants, who should be capable of taking maximum batting points and forcing a win on home ground against Leicester's weak attack.

It was just me being a bit dim, that's all!
We also lost the Second XI Trophy final to Yaaawkshire yesterday at Scarborough. It was f***ing freezing and we put in a bloody awful batting performance. Nice ground, though.

Scarborough and Cheltenham College are the two grounds I really want to visit with Surrey. A few years back I was in Scarborough just for a day out on a Saturday in June after Quins had played at Hull on the Friday night. I wandered into the ground and saw half an hour or so of a Yorkshire League match between Scarborough and Barnsley. It's got to be the biggest outground in the country - bigger than some HQ grounds in fact - a bit dilapidated in parts but wonderfully charismatic. It must be great with a large crowd in. We subsequently had a Pro40 game there, but on the Sunday of August Bank Holiday I didn't really fancy the trip from London just for one day.
/>
Blackpool also looked a great outground for a Championship match when I visited last year - a shame it was abandoned without a ball being bowled!

| Dark clouds gathering in West Leeds this morning - wouldn't it be typical for Sussex to win and Yorkshire to be rained off for four days unable to pick up a bonus point?
