No we didn't. I can't remember whether we had 10 or 11 wins - I think it was 10 but I don't have Wisden in front of me so can't check.
But there were at least five games we didn't win: rain-ruined games against Surrey and Notts and three losses (against Surrey, Warks and Lancs - we got just one point in the game at Old Trafford). We might have lost another one as well but my memory is fading a bit - was that the season when we lost to Middlesex in a low-scoring game and Lewry and Kirtley had a bit of a stand? Or was that 2002?
The point is, we're normally slow-starters but this year we've set off like champion sprinters with chilli peppers up our arses.
I stand corrected
