Ohhhhh. We thought this was a Cheshire joke.

A good guess, O Suave one. Just like Rutland, except more Minor and more rhyming with forkshire.

Bowlers need to be fresh and Test county batsmen throughout the season!

Would you like us to hazard a guess, Bert?

Yes, they were suggesting turning the County Championship into a joke league.

They may still decide to turn the County Championship into a joke league in keeping with the general philosophy of doing the one thing no-one wants.

If everyone’s equally dissatisfied, it’s fair.

Do you mean Rutland Bert?

It’d be like Manchester United not defending the FA Cup or something. Oh…

In all seriousness, if, say, Manchester United and Liverpool didn’t meet in the Premiership, it’d be a joke league. Were they suggesting turning the County Championship into a joke league?

Minor Counties in the second division is a great idea, like that Minor County, oh what’s their name, you know, that Minor County whose name I can’t quite think of at the moment, but that is very, very Minor indeed, more Minor than all the others put together, the very essence of the word Minor…
