You are spot on about Nottinghamshire, in a way it is a pity Lancs cocked up otherwise Notts would have gone down.
Ten Doeschate hit the nail on the head when being interviewed after the Surreyv Essex match when he said that more players should stay with their counties especially in Division 2 as this would drive up standards instead off all the focus being made on Division 1 but the ECB are not interested in the smaller counties in my view
