There's a final?

Is there!?

There is. Five day game at Lord's starting next Tuesday.

I'm two points behind Al. Can I go past?

I think I have zero players from Lancs or Warks, so that third place I've been just clinging on to since May is probably gone.

neither the outright winner nor the second placer have a dog in the fight for the final, fluffy, so you aren't alone

Just for clarity, because this is the ECB and as usual an explanation of their various whims is needed. Warks are the County Champions. The final, which is part of the county championship, is for the Bob Willis Trophy. The ECB wanted to make the final an actual final to determine the county champions, but quite rightly the counties told them to swivel, so they decided to keep the BWT and then pretend that their intent behind having a final was always to permanently honour Bob Willis...... hmmm.... of course it was

Yes......... if Vilas scores 3 points more than Rhodes

That didn't happen.
