Divisions Announced!
FAVOURITES - GLAMORGAN and LANCASHIRE
The pundits agree that astonishingly after the busy transfer period Glamorgan the usual relegation certainties are now the LV County Championship Division 1 Favourites after signing the likes of Matthew Hayden, Michael Clarke, Inzamam and Andrew Symonds. However they will face challenges from a number of teams including Lancashire who have signed Sanith Jayasuriya and Jeetan Patel to help their squad improve. Others likely to challenge are Kent, Middlesex and Nottignhamshire.
STRUGGLERS - DURHAM and SURREY
The pre season favourites to get relegated are either Surrey or Durham with both teams losing key players over the transfer period. Durham have lost some good batsman but have bolstered their bowling line up with Ryan Sidebottom and Danile Vettori which may save them. Surrey on the other hand have signed two plauers in Sarwan and Chanderpaul but have lost Mark Butcher and Mark Ramprakash two of their veterans. They have failed to sign a frontline bowler and they are predicted to go down ahead of Durham. However this may all change over the course of the season.
FAVOURITES - HAMPSHIRE and ESSEX
The favourites to go up to the LV County CHampionship Division one are Essex and Hampshire. Both have strengthened their teams well. Essex have kept most of their players and added two overseas players in Nathan Astle and Ashwell Prince while Hampshire have been busier in signing more than five players including Stuart MacGill, Graeme Smith and Sachin Tendulkar. It should be very interesting to see who wins this division.
STRUGGLERS - NORTHAMPTONSHIRE and GLOUCESTERSHIRE
The favourites to finish bottom of the pile in Division 2 are Northants who have signed some players but they still have a far inferior squad to many other teams in the division. Mailnga, Agarkar and Murali could work their magic and save the team from relegation though. The concern is in the batting department. If Northants do overcome their problems it is likely to be Gloucestershire that finish last. This again could be avoided with the likes of Gilchrist and De Villiers in the squad. However you would have to say they look good for one day cricket.
TEAMS TO WATCH: GLAMORGAN, LANCASHIRE and SOMERSET.
TEAMS TO AVOID: DURHAM and SURREY.
TEAMS TO WATCH: SUSSEX, DERBYSHIRE and GLOUCESTERSHIRE
TEAMS TO AVOID: NORTHAMPTONSHIRE and WARWICKSHIRE
FAVOURITE TO WIN DIVISION: Hampshire
PLAYER TO WATCH: Kevin Pietersen
Pietersen will look to help his side win the division and he certainly has the capabilities to do so. The likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Graeme Smith will help with the batting while Shane Warne works his magic alongside MacGill and Tremlett from the bowling side of things. Other teams to watch are Essex and Lancashire.
FAVOURITE TO WIN DIVISION: Sussex
PLAYER TO WATCH: Shoaib Akhtar
The lightning quick Pakistani will look to rip through his opponents and put Sussex in the C & G Final and he will be aided by Sehwag, Jayawardene and Mushtaq Ahmed along the way. Yardy and Murray Goodwin are also pinch hitters and can score serious runs in one day cricket. Watch out for Sussex as well as Glamorgan and Kent as well.
POSSIBLE WINNERS: Glamorgan, Yorkshire or Somerset.
POSSIBLE SURPRISE TEAM: Nottinghamshire
BIGGEST SIX HITTERS IN LEAGUE: Symonds, Hayden, Key, Bravo, Styris, Shah, Afridi, Fleming, Trescothick, Langer, Vaughan and Anthony McGrath.
LIKELY UNDERACHIEVERS: Strauss, Rafique, Inzamam and Lara.
POSSIBLE WINNERS: Hampshire or Lancashire
POSSIBLE SURPRISE TEAM: Worcestershire
BIGGEST SIX HITTERS IN LEAGUE: Collingwood, Carberry, Graeme Smith, Pietersen, Jayasuriya, Flintoff, Imran Nazir, Sarwan, Chanderpaul, Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh
LIKELY UNDERACHIEVERS: Voges, Tendulkar and Rikki Clarke
POSSIBLE WINNERS: Essex or Sussex
POSSIBLE SURPRISE TEAM: Derbyshire or Leicestershire
BIGGEST SIX HITTERS IN LEAGUE: Dravid, Shane Watson, Bopara, Andy Flower, De Villiers, Gilchrist, Ponting, Nixon, Sehwag, Goodwin, Sangakkara, Bell
LIKELY UNDERACHIEVERS: Alistair Cook, Jayawardene and Michael Hussey
