Can't see that happening. The selectors love Crane to bits.
Sorry, I've misunderstood. I thought that it was your preferred squad not what you think the selectors will do.

Shola Ameobi's Notts County
Cook

Root (C)
Westley
Stokes
Bairstow (wk)
Ali
Woakes
Broad

Roland-Jones
Hales
Hameed
Wood
Foakes (wk)
Crane

Who do I think they'll take instead? Swap Hales, Foakes and Crane for Malan, Buttler and Dawson.

I like Leach, I'm just pro taking a leggy instead and Crane has 'it' - a tour would do him good and I don't expect us to play 2 spinners anyway unless things get a little desperate. Not a Malan fan (too many left handed batsmen in the lineup already against Starc and Lyon using the rough on day 4/5) and Hameed/Hales are your back-up options if Stoneman and Westley don't work out.

Looks like Essex are the next County to win the Championship for the first time in years - after Middlesex last year.

The Leicester City story of Cricket is complete. Great for the game. The one non international ground in the division who were clear favourites to be relegated. Here's hoping they take things seriously until the last game and send Yorkshire down.

What a season Darren Stevens has had, I don't know the numbers but the guy must be averaging like 15 with the ball and 40+ with the bat

Tremendous win for us. Leach a class above. Since last season his bowling average is around 24. Far and away the best spinner in England. If he's not on that plane to oz the selectors need shooting.

The 3 teams going for the title on the last day last season are the 3 teams battling for survival this season. 1 point seperates yorkshire, Middlesex and somerset as it stands with 2 games to go. Im not sure who the others play but we have warwickshire and essex, by far the best and worst teams in the division. A win and a draw will be enough to survive, every chance of 2 draws anyway with the weather. Been a disastrous season for Yorkshire, failed miserably in everything, relegation is what we deserve. Losing Gillespie looks like it's ripped them apart.

Just seen Somerset v middlesex in the last match, works in our favour that I hope. Unless they both win next week and we lose then they just play out a draw :bl::bl:

Useless lancashire bastards. We really do need to win now it looks as though Somerset may lose as well. That will put them in a very very bad situation going into the last match.

Can't rely on those hopeless Lancashire fools for anything.

Best bowling figures for Finn - maybe just in time with the Ashes squad due to be named and Ronald Jones injured..

Could the mighty Northants leapfrog Notts in the promotion race?! Beat them today, they go to Sussex on the final round and we go to Leicester. Notts need 12 points so only a loss will do for the bigguns.

There's an inherent fear We're taking Root and Stokes for granted - they're both generational talents

We might have just saved our season. Leach saving us again.

Just before the Ashes as well so the Aussies will lap this up.

Another one of those sportsmen who has the talent but has a bad temperament as well at times.

Not sure he will be vice captain for long if found guilty.

He's a bit stupid, isn't he?

On a different note, it'll actually be quite impressive if Notts manage to mess up promotion.
