Actually 4 players and saw elsewhere a 12 point reduction, think us going up would have been wrong but takes the chance away anyhow
Yeah, Karvelas has been left out too.

Oh well, a chance to see how others can perform. Ali Orr is back, however

Shame it's ended this way. But even if they had pulled off the impossible they would have been battered next year.

Agreed, they have only lost once in the CC this year but weather saved us as well. Quite a serious level of punishment here though, a sign of poor discipline or the want to win that many doubted? Maybe both

It did in one game but saved the opposition it two. However. I agree with the general premise though; we'd never bowl a Div 1 team out twice and our batting is fallible - get Pujara out and it's game over. We'll get steady 40s and 50s from the likes of Carter and FHP but those don't win games.

GEORGE DOBELL: The Cricketer understands Karvelas is alleged to have remarked to a player of Asian heritage, understood to be Pakistan Test batter Umar Amin, "Send him back to the village he came from" after he was dismissed in the second innings

It's behind a paywall but apparently gives more details.

The phrase "Send him back to the village he came from" could be seen as an insult to his ability - i.e. a village cricketer - rather than a racist slur but I fear this may not be the case as if it were, this is something that could easily have been cleared up and apologised for at the time.

Brighton & Hove Albion CC?

Hope so. Much better for cricket in Sussex than the 16.4 continuing as it is.

Meanwhile in Derby it looks like a bad toss to have lost.
