Best County Overall in all Formats this Season?
« on: September 21, 2010, 07:28:18 PM »

Who do you guys think is the best team overall in all formats, your top 4 or 5 in order and reasons would be great :)

Mine would be:

1. Somerset. They had a great year. A more favourable attitude from Durham and Trescothic not being as sporting as he was could have landed them both the Championship and the t20 trophies. To be so consistent across the board takes a monster effort, so fair play to Tresco and the boys :) .

2. Nottingham. They were very close to qualifying in the CB40, losing out only to eventual winners the mighty Warwickshire, won the Championship on the last session, and were defeated semi finalists in the t20. Overall, a good year for Chris Read and his lads in the East Midlands.

3. Yorkshire/Warwickshire

Both these teams are viable contenders.

Yorkshire were semi finalists in the CB40 and came third int he Championship with not many points difference, however they had a poor year in the Fpt20 which stops them taking away this 3rd place clearly.

Warwickshire had a very good end to the season. They won the CB40 in a great final, avoided relegation in the Championship with a great turnaround late on in the campaign, and they were quarter finalists in the t20. Their low finish in the Championship prevents them from making it into the 3rd place spot clearly.


Let me guys know what you think.

Thanks

Warks a distant second.
Yorkshire closely following third.

No Nottingham, and agree with you about Somerset, clear leaders ?

Notts were 2nd in the groups in the CB40, won the championship and semi finalists in the t20?

Somerset, then Notts or Warwickshire...IMO Somerset were very unlucky not to win anything this year...

Somerset had strength in almost every department, although they need a young spinner who doesnt leak runs at 5/6 an over. Overall, high class season!

You almost wonder had Somerset not done so well, would they have had that bit more to win another competition?

Fully agree with them being the best team this season overall, gutted for Tres not to have won anything.
