I will be upset if this is true. The 50 over games are my favourite these days. Feck the 100. Will be surprised if they do this.
At the oval for 3 1/2 hours today. When I got there and saw the score 33/4 I thought it was Surrey following on. Amla held up the end again and a good innings from Smith.

Surrey get another draw and it's Division 2 next season

There are a lot of southern counties in Division 2 next year

Hope this is not true, as looking forward to the Guildford match on the 27th and the Oval on the 30th, without the restrictions.

Hampshire do their usual squeak in at the end...

They will not cancel the Hundred again. It’s now or never for that.

Never sounds preferable.

Surrey have announced that they have sold out for Guildford for non members. No way can I see them cancelling the 50 over comp. A bad rumour.

Here’s the Dobell article about the potential scrapping of the RLC tournament. I can absolutely see it being cancelled, ECB must be so desperate for The Hundred to go ahead. RL must be furious. ECB will blame it on COVID.

Kent drew with Sussex. In the circumstances I thought that was a very good result.

The County Championship Divisions in September are:
Division One: Nottinghamshire, Warwickshire, Somerset, Hampshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire
Division Two: Durham, Essex, Gloucestershire, Surrey, Northamptonshire, Glamorgan
Division Three: Worcestershire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Middlesex, Kent, Sussex

That phase starts on August 30th after the One Day Cup, The Hundred and T20 quarter finals. It's four games against the counties not your original group. Each side carries over half the total points from the games against the team who were in your group.

Some of the 50 over matches against National Counties (including Kent v Suffolk) have been cancelled but I can't see them going as far as cancelling the One Day Cup.

ECB : Hold my beer

I think I may be losing the will to live

The Hundred will be along to finish you off soon enough :p

It's your age. I thought it was the end of the County games for the year. Now we have 4 more I think:confused: So if we win them what happens next year?

On another note if Glamorgan beat Somerset and we beat Gloucester do we qualify as Gloucester's last game is Somerset. Or we win tomorrow and Somerset beat Gloucester ? Jacks back tomorrow but we will still be underdogs.

It doesn't affect next season - these Divisions are for the last games of this season.

Yep as you say

It's me being an idiot - I got told that the three teams finishing at the bottom of each group in the round finishing this week would form Division 2 of the Championship next year and believed what I was told

Good performance by Surrey and the David chap done his job. Can Glamorgan do us a favour.

I think we need:
(Glamorgan to win tonight against Somerset
or
Somerset to beat Gloucester on Sunday
or
Sussex to lose both their games)
AND
(Hampshire to drop a point or fail to overcome a 58 run deficit)

Glamorgan already three down so I don't think they'll be helping much.

I’m a Surrey fan but congrats to Kent on a superb win with a side of many names I don’t know of.

Hampshire look like they're going to win tonight as well so this is going to be very very close
