A pity the season has ended on that note but all too predictable with a classy spinner and a tough pitch. We still had opportunities to get back into it but as soon as that partnership at the end increased the lead I thought the writing was on the wall.
All in all though it has been a much better season than I expected- and it could easily have been even better. One or two areas of concern but I think we are looking like a competitive outfit at the very least.

I agree - definitely a better season than I expected too. I think the addition of a good batsman and a good spinner would have us pretty much back as a top side. Obviously I don't know where these mythical players would come from, but with an overseas slot open, maybe Axar Patel could solve the spin problem?

I can only imagine that they are daft enough to think that I might actually give a newspaper some money. I haven't bought a newspaper in about 30 years and I'm not going to start now, so I'd rather be kept in the dark. I tend to believe that if something is in the papers it's either not true or it's been twisted into something unrecognisable from the truth

There wasn't a regionalised conference system in place this year. Nor does the article explain how 10 top teams would be selected under this system.
