Perhaps they'll fudge it as Headingley Heat and hope no-one notices it's in Leeds...

[adrenachrome]

If Warwickshire go down, there will be severe financial consequences if what I have heard from members who should know is to be believed. Durham would be fucked beyond doubt.

Surprised at that. I wouldn't have thought the crowds in County Championship make much difference to the clubs' financial outlook nowadays, is the prize/sponsorship money much different?

Lancs 34/1  275 to win....can Middx get 9 wkts in a session

[ADVILLAFAN]

Surrey game is quite exciting, could go either way.

Can't see Middlesex taking the 9 wickets, but you never know.

Lancs & Middx called it a draw

Lancs 6 pts ahead of Bears

Surrey 217/5 64 to win

[ADVILLAFAN]

If Surrey don't get the runs in time but are close, is there a chance that play could be extended by half an hour PGW?

Or if Durham get more wickets, they've just taken the 6th wicket.
