Good night!
Under slightly farcial circumstances, they will be back tomorrow at Southampton – light permitting. A relegation place still live as we roll into the last day of the season.
But it is goodbye from me. I’ll be at my daughter Rosy’s graduation tomorrow, so Jim Wallace will take the chair.
Congratulations to Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Glamorgan and thanks to you all for sticking around and making this blog so much fun to write. Hope the winter brings some joy amongst the darkening days – may see some of you through the small hours on the OBO. Good night!
