Playing county cricket at this time of year weather can have
more of an influence
On promotion and relegation places. It wint be long before the
season starts in October and ends in March !!

Ultimately the weather is in all likelihood going to resolve the
promotion/relegation issues, which is a completely unacceptable
method of resolving the final standings.
I would add, however, that some poor pitches in the past
prepared by teams needing a result have also had an effect, to
such a point that they were fined and/or docked points for sub
standard wickets.
Furthermore, if I were those relegated counties, I’d be going
after the main organisers, money makers and the broadcasters
whom run the hundred dross, whose competition, it could be
argued, has had a factor in their battle to beat the drop due to
the diabolical schedule.

Unfortunately for us pure cricket lovers, the money generated
from the present tv contracts related to the 16.4 overs game
that the ecb filter down to financially struggling smaller
counties keeps them afloat. Things may change if and when the
next tv contracts are negotiated ie tv less inclined to throw
money at the 16.4 over game.

Speaking as a Kent supporter, these have been two of our better
days all season
