Already however it is looking pretty remote. Should Derby win (or the game end be abandoned) then Warwickshire will still need to win their remaining games against Yorkshire at Headingly (handomly) and Derbyshire. They must then hope that bottom team Northampton, (demonstrable the worst one-day outfit in the country), also beat Yorkshire. Then they MAY overhaul Yorkshire into 3rd place and the chance of a play-off against the 7th placed team in Division 1. However to do this they need to get around 100 runs more than their last two opponents to boost their NRR sufficiently.
However it may be the case that I haven't correctly applied the Hysenberg Uncertainty principle. I'm pretty sure that when calculating Net Run Rate you have to multiply the speed of light by the mass of Andy Moles BEFORE dividing by the Planck constant. Although it might be Avagadro constant, I never was great at astrophysics.
Certainly Giles looks as though he is accepting the inevitable with the squad for Yorkshire, with Clarke included along with Miller and MacLeod. Ant Botha also seems to be fit again following his hip injury.
