Rothesay 12 v Somerset….”shit or bust”!

The Beeb report:

Leicestershire have been charged with breaching the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) pitch regulations following their County Championship victory over Glamorgan.
The Cricket Regulator carried out an investigation after match officials reported the Uptonsteel Grace Road pitch following Leicestershire's 42-run win from 20-23 August.
In a statement, the Foxes said they "strongly dispute the allegations".
The surface had come under scrutiny during the Division One match, with Glamorgan bowled out for 214 chasing 257 on the final day.

As you correctly point out, the last sentence is the key problem.
And as a mate said today, chief whinger Richard Dawson of Glamorgan is studiously avoiding mentioning the pitch in relation to his team's two abject capitulations in their current game...
 
Surrey will escape any penalty. We cant have them in Div 2 can we!!!.
The points deduction hanging over the countys heads must be having an effect on the staff. Does anyone know if Holland and Davey are injured? if they arent it is strange that they are missing from an important game like this.
 
Hampshire 304 all out…..trail Notts by 73 runs
Essex 171 all out and 0-0 (1) in follow on v Yorkshire 390
Surrey 44-2 (19) v Sussex 393

Green's the only injury I know of. I suspect it's rotation as BBB said, but we've not got the squad quality to do much of that, I fear.
The answer to the thread title question is, I'm afraid, the former...
 
Unfortunately the bccs have all the big money and hoover up all the talent.
Pen 2 bangs on about the metro cup being a 2nd xi comp but in reality it isntas most of the international players only play for their counties at the start of the season.
We havent got the strength in depth and it is now beginning to tell

The main issue with the Metro Cup is that all counties lose some players to the wanky august bollox, like we did when winning it in '23.
