If we had converted two draws into wins we would have been champions, one of those being when the rain saved Lancs and that would have ended up with them being relegated

Is the follow-on target 251?

I wish so much that things would conspire to send down the real and true champions!! But I believe Kent will be down by stumps tonight.

Nah, cos if Sussex declare now, Yorkshire could force the follow on making a loss quite likely with a day and a half to bat. Sorry, we aren't going to do Kent any favours.

Also, because of Rule 42 (nicked from the BBC):

An Extraordinary Declaration... is a declaration aimed primarily at denying the bowling side the opportunity to acquire further bonus points in that innings, but without enhancing the batting side's prospects of winning or saving the match. Such a declaration may, depending on the particular circumstances, be deemed as bringing the game into disrepute, penalties for which may include the deduction of points from the offending team.

I'll feel a LOT better if we get to 251.
