If Essex get 48 points Hants need 27 (Essex win the tie-breaker, total wins, if Hants get 26). At least the 6 maximum bowling points are easy to get. Oh ....

If Essex win against Leicestershire (probable) and against Worcs (possible, they've got nothing to play for) Hants may need one more win.

Carberry to miss the final 2 games with a hand injury.

Yes indeed. We must be the only fans of a club he's managed that don't hate him. I think he's less than half way through an 8 year contract, so with about a £10m payoff I don't think he's losing very much sleep about his imminent sacking.

Link?

Considering the amount of fat in its pipes does that mean they are due for a massive coronary?

So, where are you Gemmel? Cat got your tongue?

Exciting finish Worcs v. Surrey, with Worcs winning. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Did it involve a girlfriend/wife?

Bharath Vishal I SUPPORT SAINTS!.....and not any big club....i really like how Southampton.....and truly cried when we won against coventry! #COYR Shubhanshu Chawla Aah an outright supporter! Lovely. I remember the match against Coventry so cleearly like it was yesterday. We won 4 nil. Waited all game for SIR Rickie of Lambert to score and he finally obliged in the end. The pitch invasion of St. Mary's gave me genuine tears of joy. ^ Like.

"Sign the contract, Jay."

Rain is our friend. A washout for one of Hants' games, as well as one of Essex's and Surrey's, and we'd be home and dry. Well, home and wet actually.

Points deduction!

Why would anyone want Clyne (or any of our other English players) play for England? He'd do a Lallana/Lambert/Shaw in January.

Kent 198 all out against Essex's rice-pudding attack.

He only has to play a couple of games for Citeh (and not that well) and he'll be guaranteed a spot in Roy's squad.

Or maybe we'll wait until the last 5 minutes. That would be fun!

Yes, I was doing an MLG on points needed to secure promotion. One win will guarantee it.

WBA all over again? I think the mane difference is we have one or two exciting new players coming in.

Bloody hell, they don't like AP very much, do they? I thought I had stumbled on a Charlton forum. Are we the only club that don't despise him? He did well for us, brought in some excellent players, laid the foundation for NA to take us to the PL, and of course that great day at Wembley. I guess NC sacked him at just the right time.

17 points to finish above Surrey, who have 2 matches left. But Essex have three matches left, so 29 points are needed to guarantee finishing above them.
