[Cricket] Surrey County Cricket Champions

[Arkwright]

I'm surprised no one has congratulated Surrey on winning the County Championship.

A fantastic achievement winning with a blend of home grown youth and experience in Clarke and Dernbach and a combination of a great overseas bowler in Morkel and batting from Finch and Elgar.

Considering that The Oval is the best batting wicket in the country to bowl sides out twice is a brilliant achievement. The future of English cricket is in safe hands with youthful talent of the Currans, Burns, Pope, Foakes, Virdi and many other young players blooded in the Surrey side.

Runs away to put on tin hat, Come on The Rey.

As the amazing Sussex titles move further into the distance.

Hopefully not another 140 year wait for the next.

The first season in a long time not decided by rain, they are fully deserving Champions. 10 wins out of 12 is astonishing, 100 points ahead of 3rd place and with players away on international duty most of the summer, you have to hand it to them.

Not sure that is the case several of the current players have come through the youth teams. Surrey have invested into youth with a blend of experience, hence the reason in the last year three young Surrey players have represented England.

Be awful if Sussex won the league by paying over the odds to players like Mushtaq and Goodwin, oh hang on.....

Being a county with a Test ground doesn't guarantee success look at Middlesex, Glamorgan and Warwickshire all in Division Two.

Yawn. Being by far the richest club in the country must have just a teeny, weeny bit to do with it...

But that is just sour grapes...

Well done Surrey! A brilliant achievement. Who is the mastermind that coached this plucky group of homegrown talents and journeymen pros to an against the odds title win?

Almost! His dad is former Zimbabwean cricketer Kevin Curran. Think I heard he has lived in the UK since he was 6 or 7 but could be wrong.

You are gradually turning to the dark side.
