Yeah but that's common sense Boomer which is obviously not allowed .

Ironic with the weather set fair this round with no game.

^ All the more reason to retain bonus points - despite what Butch says (he is often wrong) I would actually allow teams to take any bonus points they prevent their opposition from accruing to further narrow the gap

The Pears racked up a formidable score of 618-7 dec against Kent, At 393-7 you don't want to see Jason Holder & ex Yorkshire allrounder Matthew Waite help themselves to a hundred apiece.

A strange innings by Glamorgan against Sussex, from 41-4 Carlson 148 & Ingram 170 lifted them to 356, & they declared on 411-9
