The County Championship starts on Sunday.

Poll runs for seven days.

Sussex must be the strongest favourites for a long time. I always go for Essex, and I'm always badly wrong. Including getting bowled out for about fifty. So this time I've gone for Essex.

Bearing in mind due to changes in the County Championship structure, only one team will be promoted this year.

I've gone for Sussex, i'll be amazed if they miss out.

Vote one or two as you prefer. You get a better idea with more votes I think.

I checked the relegation of Div. 1, but forgot to check promotion of Div2.

Just looked this up, and the BBC table says the top two go up.

As does the cricinfo site.

Yet the articles about the change say that it will happen this season. I can't find anything on the ECB site about it.

The Hampshire Chronicle says the change happens this season, and that burglars are targeting a garage in Winchester.

Well done to the two who backed the winner.
