all very complicated
blimey... you were up near the top of the table at the half way point, weren't you?
Draw will do us fine. Simply, one of us or Middlesex has to avoid losing.
We lose and Middlesex lose = we go down.
We lose and Middlesex don't lose = Somerset go down.
We don't lose and Middlesex lose = Middlesex go down.
We don't lose and Middlesex don't lose = Somerset go down.
It's not just at the half way point of the season that we were towards the top. Half way through last week's match, after we bowled Essex out for 76, we were heading for a second place finish. Our highest since 2005 I think. A pretty shocking two or three days of cricket is most likely going to see us finish five places further down the league, and relegated.
