Barring a late collapse by Durham, their match with Lancashire is going to end in a draw. This would mean that the only side to get more points than us in this round of fixtures would be Northants, who were bottom before they did us a favour by thrashing Sussex. With three to go up, every side in the division will still think they can be promoted, so, until teams are in a win or bust situation, you aren't going to see many "sporting declarations" because the risk of losing the points you get for a draw is too high.Originally Posted by chrisp_1927
Therefore, we are at an advantage because we have the points on the board. Given the way the division is shaping up, I think we will probably go up if we can win two of our last five games, but if we get overtaken by a few sides in the coming weeks, the flat pitches being produced for home games will make that task so much harder.
