What we need now is for Joe and Heino to do their best Tavare impressions: bat for the next three days and get us over 400, ensure that we have more bonus points than Warwickshire, and draw the match
Looking around the country, wickets are falling everywhere. Middlesex 92-6 at Durham, though I can't imagine batting there on a freezing cold morning was very pleasant!
I fear that after keeping the foot on the throttle for the last few games to secure promotion this match might be a bit 'after the Lord Mayor's show.' Yes I know the title is there to be won but psychologically promotion was the aim and that has been achieved so they may not be as sub-consciously 'up for it' as they might have been.

Isn't this how our top order have batted all summer though!

The average score for the 1st wicket in 1st class county cricket this year is the lowest since 1974. Strauss blames the heavy roller and wants it out of our game. Tosh! This is the product of our players playing more and more Beer Matches over the last 20 years or so.

That batting line up needs to be addressed for next season. Hope they have someone lined up. Our bowling won’t be able to get us out of jail like it has this season especially As it looks like Henry wont be around for much of next season.

Agree. But as an aside, I don't understand about the heavy rollers. Shouldn't they flatten any unevenness in the pitch?
I don't have any stats to back this up, but it seems to have been a very low scoring season across both divisions, but especially Div 2. Lots of sub 150 scores and quite a few sub 100s.

Lots of county championship cricket in April, May and September.

Says it all about our batting this season that this 10th wicket partnership is our most productive in this innings!
