Milton Keynes is a very pleasant venue. The ground is in Campbell Park. At the southern end grass terracing has been built and aged relative and I sat there. No seating was provided other than a few park benches at the northern end so chairs needed to be taken. Good weather with a pleasant breeze and being on grass meant no reflected heat so stayed comfortable. There was not a huge crowd but plenty of children enjoying themselves so a good family atmosphere.

The pitch was slightly two paced and batsmen seemed to have trouble timing the ball. Worcestershire deserved the win but were flattered by the margin. Many of their runs came off the edge and very few of their mishits went near a fielder. Northants top order were abysmal again.

It certainly has. I think the injury crisis and constant uncertainty about an overseas player at the start of the season removed lot of the belief from the squad.

Yes definitely two key factors and then really the overseas situation became worse with the injuries! Both crises merged together!

I suppose it has been a bit of a reality check and shows what we would need if we were to go up again. We have the youthful talent to do it but it needs some performing senior talent too.
