All down to the last round

Well the County Championship has all come down to the last round of matches and those that argued for a two division league can pat themselves on the back in as much as all matches matter in Division One. This preview of the last week sums things up from Cricinfo.

As a (newly converted) Sussex supporter, I'm a little concerned that we're so close to the drop given that it was only recently that there was an outside chance of competing for the title, but that's the nature of the division this year. Lancashire's amazing win over Kent really has turned things upside down and Sussex certainly would have expected to see Lancashire below them going into the final round of matches.

Although the weather's got better, I still think it could play a crucial role as tomorrow is, depending on which weather forecast you believe, extremely unlikely to see a full day of play. So the side that stays up could well be the one that has the better of a draw at Hove, but Kent and Lancashire will certainly be checking the score regularly! It'll be interesting to see how things turn out....come on Chris Adams (in his last game as skipper) and Sussex!
