O/T:- 🏏The other Notts [Cricket]

[Elite_Pie]

Can someone explain how we only finished 3rd please.
We were the only team to win 3 matches,we finished above Warwickshire in the main division yet end up 3rd..?...help.?

It's very complicated, but the County Championship this year was initially played over three equal divisions of six teams, who played each other home and away. The top two from each division then went on to make up Division One for the final part. Instead of starting again from scratch, half of the points total obtained from the two games against the other promoted team in your division in the first part were carried over as you didn't play them again in the second part, you only played the promoted teams from the other two divisions. There lies the problem - the only two games Notts lost in the first bit both happened to be against Warwickshire, so they started with a big points advantage over us.

If that's too complicated, it's best summarised by saying "we were robbed".
