One is this weird 3 teams being relegated thing. This is one-third of the league! Apart from Kent quite comfortably romping to victory, the rest of the league table down to Middlesex at least is quite close and competitive. A league with only 9 teams should definitely only have one relegation/promotion spot. If they want to reduce the size, best to either relegate one with no promotion (maybe not that bad an idea if division 2 is really that much worse) or relegate 2 and promote 1. Why would you want to relegate 3 which must include one of the competitive sides? It will just lead to certain players wanting to leave their county to stay in the England reckoning and the counties will lose their standout players. And best not to mention how the point-scoring system works. Don't understand this, and also the record keeping by the ECB is simply unacceptable. Accurate and up-to-date scoreboards, tables and stats should be readily available for a top-tier competition. Players and fans should know the situation going into important games without having to go out of their way to find out from helpful blogs like this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952597754091672288noreply@blogger.com
