So what if our Joe, Zak, Jordan, Bilbo & God are missing ? We still manage to cobble a very decent side together.
We don't moan about it - just get on & try to get the job done.
Eat your hearts out, Surrey.
I'd much rather have our lads than your expensive squad of privileged players.
( Sorry, blackpool, canters etc . Just saying it how I see it )
We have more players from our pathway in our side and squad than you so wind it in!
And a lot more money to pay for the scholarships of age group players, a much bigger pool of kids and better quality overseas. We get Linde for the season. You get Amla!
I can’t believe this - do my eyes deceive me - Kent rampant and tearing a title contender a new one 😳
And we have a whole team in the shape of Billings, Crawley, Cox, Denly, Milnes, Stewart, Henry, Linde, Saini, O'Riordan and Stevens unavailable for selection - at least seven of that XI would be in our first choice side.
We will also have had to play, in our 14 fixtures, the top three teams twice!

But your pathway is more like a driveway ! 😊
The parents of Surrey's age group players don't have to pay for their kit and coaching as they do at Kent - in fact, at Kent, you have to pay to trial!!!!
Just clearing my throat (just to be clear though I was born a man and identify as a male. Why should it be just fat ladies and not fat gentlemen allowed to sing all the best music?)

I take that back. Leaning has just dropped a catch off Muyeye. Over rate is now level.
Over rate still minus 4 hence one of the reasons Leaning is bowling
If kent win inside three days, surely they are ahead of the over rate?
It doesn't work like that. Teams can also be deducted points for not bowling their overs at the required rate (16 overs per hour). For each over below the required rate, teams will be deducted one point from their Championship total - one point for one over, two points for two overs, etc.
The bad news is that Gloucs are 47-4 and still need another 101 runs to beat Warwickshire
What are the permutations between us and Warwick’s in terms of what results relate to (if you get what I mean) ?
There are too many at the moment because Somerset and Yorkshire can still go down too. Things will become clearer once their games are finished but it is ridiculous that we have won three matches and yet Yorkshire are above us and have only won one - that's because we've lost more and picked up so few bonus points when we've drawn and lost.

146-7 and 232 runs behind
Vince 25* (50)
Two issues - Vince is still there on 53 and we are 4 overs behind on over rate. The last thing we need is a points deduction.
236-8
Smiles back on blackpool & canters faces.
