3 day game at Gloucs....given the amount of rain over the past 2 months its more a surprise that there aren't more games being shortened tbh

Sussex with a 4 point deduction for a slow over rate. Seems a stronger punishment than I can remember in previous years? No qualms with it, though.

17 Championship games now since Yorkshire last won, I knew it was bad, but...

If Surrey manage to chase this 500 run target down I will retreat to a dark corner and cry.

Chase down 500 and then decide the batting isn't strong enough so bring in Dan Lawrence for 2024...

Sibley Burns Lawrence Pope Roy Foakes Jacks SCurran TCurran Jordan JOverton
It's a passable current England XI, just made from Surrey squad members that have played for England

Then a "second" XI of:
Patel Steel Geddes Smith Evans Clark Lawes Worrall Dunn Moriarty Atkinson 12th: Virdi
Not bad!

Matt Parkinson signing for Kent from next season. Quite the coup.

Cal Parky, Ackermann and Chris Wright all leaving Leics and Paul Nixon sacked (seemingly as a result?)
A right mess at Grace Road.
Wright is off to Sussex to bring the average age of their squad up by 20 years.
Cal Park and Ackermann meant to be heading to Durham.

Bonkers 2-3 weeks from DBD! Pretty much solely turning Kent's season around
Also, checking his stats and a 32 average in t20s striking at 137s surely warrants England honours... also top scorer in the blast in 2020 and (so far) 2023, as well as 3rd in 2021. We'll ignore the 7 average in 2022!

Yeah he's having quite the season, and now a triple century to boot. If Northants hang on for a draw it will tarnish it a little, mind.

6 off 119 is impressive in anyone's books but Ed Pollock?! I'd be less surprised if he was on 206!

Pennington and Tongue both off to Notts next season

David Lloyd to Derbyshire, Leus Du Plooy to Middlesex... not sure if it's just my perception but feels like a lot more "transfers" are happening this season rather than just players being released finding new clubs.
