Yorkshire champions. Lancashire relegated. Perfect cricket season!

Somerset were well set to get the 180 they needed to beat Yorkshire but 8 wickets have fallen in no time to leave Yorkshire requiring one more wicket for an unlikely victory and i'm bloody stuck at home!

Good decision by Jos Buttler to turn down the Bears and opt for Lancs instead - now a member of a second rate team having got relegated! All that money spent on the stadium, but the team is shite....

A couple of nice articles by Brian Halford marking the end of his Bears-reporting career:

It's a great shame that he's being moved on. He was always a valuable source of news about players and injuries. I hope we receive the same kind of coverage next season. Somehow I doubt it.

Great articles, shame he is surplus now.

It's not just that he is surplus....Trinity Mirror have basically said they ain't covering cricket anymore....ridiculous decision.....i used to always buy the mail in the summer months
just to read BH's edgbaston reports.....they can shove it where the sun don't shine now.

[Villafirst]

Trinity Mirror are useless....no coverage on one of the Country's top sides? When you think of the column inches wasted on SHA, who are complete losers!
