Knowing the South Division position as at 27 May, I have listed the remaining fixtures below with my predictions. If I am correct, Hants will come top with 13, Surrey 2nd with 10, and four counties will be on 8 pts with run rates to separate them. Somerset, Gloucs, Essex and Kent. As rates stand, if nothing spectacular occurs to change them, Somerset will end up 3rd, Essex 4th, Gloucs a close 5th and Kent 6th, leaving Sussex 7th, Middx 8th and Glamorgan 9th.
You may be surprised to see me back Surrey to succeed in 2nd. You ought to have seen their strength in depth when whipping my beloved Essex at Chelmsford on Sunday. Three batsmen hit over 80.
