4 Points

After an amazing final day victory at Essex clinched promotion back to Division 1 of the County Championship at the first attempt, Warwickshire go into their final match of the season today knowing that just four bonus points will give them the Division 2 title. That it will be at the expense of Worcestershire is an added spice.

I'm sure though that the team won't be thinking just about where they can get the 4 bonus points, instead they will hopefully be thinking about winning this final home match of the season and giving the Warwickshire faithful some much needed entertainment at home and win their first home match of the season. That this sentance can be written about the likely Division 2 champions speaks volumes for the scoring system in the county championship. The weather is currently overcast by not raining in Moseley, however the forecast is for heavy showers today and tomorrow. It is to be hoped that the rain doesn't totally ruin the entertainment in the last week of the season.
