Peter Moores looks forward to the final Championship Match – Cricket News Update
Lancashire coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843, hoping to break the club's jinx of not winning the title in 77 years.
The Division One is set for an enthralling finish, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Durham-c782, all in the hunt for securing a top spot.
Warwickshire currently stand in front of the pack with 226 points from 15 matches, closely followed by the Red Rose, who trail the leaders by just 3 points.
Both teams have identical stats, with 9 wins, 4 losses and 2 draws but the advantages of earning additional bowling and batting points have so far made the difference.
These points will be pivotal come the last match of the season, where Warwickshire meet http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789 and the Red Rose meet Somerset.
Moores though feels that it’s great to be involved in the run for the top spot and looks forward to the final installment of the County Championship.
"Winning nine games in a season is a lot, bouncing back time and time again both during games and now after that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866 defeat which was a tough one. By hook or by crook we find a way to stay in most games and we did it again [at Aigburth]. All
the way through someone has come up with something. We'll go there looking forward to it,"said a positive Moores.
The Old Trafford based side last won the title way back in 1934 and will hope to reclaim the title this time around. They have been top notch this season, with a blend of experience and youth putting in commendable performances throughout the year.
However, the problem remains that their rivals, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warwickshire-c862, have also been firing on all cylinders, going neck to neck with the Red Lightnings.
The only thing favoring the Lancs over Bears is their head to head record and if both sides finished on the same number of points, the Lightnings will be awarded the title.
However, one cannot underestimate the credentials of Durham, who have slowly kept pressure on the top two.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moore-c77694 and his contingent will be hoping that luck favors them as the final round of matches begin on September 12, 2011.
