Essex win tomorrow, I feel they are halfway to the Championship and will take some stopping. They knew for quite a few seasons they were too good for Division 2 and are now making up for lost time. (PS: I am not an Essex fan but just looking at things with an open mind.) I would like Middlesex to win it again but feel they lack a world class spinner which is so important in the second half of the season. As to the teams that go down, it won't be Warwickshire!!
I did wonder about your earlier comment. Two defeats on the trot, admittedly against very good sides but it doesn't take long to get rooted at the bottom.I think I may have to review this if Warwickshire continue to perform as dismally as they have done in this match against Essex. And to think their top order contains Trott and Bell.
Yes, we need him in for a while but I fear he'll be out soon, as well as our last 4 !RSP in Manchester!
