ReplyDeleteThe bad weather is likely to play a large part in all the games left up and down the country which is kind of obvious when you finish almost in October. The latest finish really should be the end of this week. It seems incredible that no one seems to know how many games or what format the championship will take next season yet. Rumours on some of the livestreams suggest it could be a first division of 12 and second of 6. If that ends up what the ecb go for the 2nd division would almost be like a minor counties league and if roughly the same 3 or 4 counties we’re stuck in in most seasons would become almost unwatchable which I suppose might be the idea behind it
