While the season slowly draws to a close I decided to have a look at the chance of each teams survial or revival.
THE LADDERS

5 Yorkshire 8
6 Warwickshire 6
7 West Australia 4
8 Hampshire 2

Division ONE
Queensland
They have been the form team of the league and should win the first ever Division One Trophy. 9-0
NSW
Have played really well but have not been playing to full potential. 6-3
Mumbai
This team came from left field to snatch a couple of brillant wins. 6-3
Lancashire
Have played well and deserve not be to relagated, but still not certain of that. 5-4
Yorkshire
So far a season of two halves. Played horrible for the start of the season but lately have won four on the trot. Rightfully have a hand on the CA Cup. 4-5
Warwickshire
Played some good games but, have failed to impress on the whole. 3-6
Western Australia
The big surprise of the league so far, winning 2 from 9. Failed overall including losing to Tasmania in Ca Cup first round. 2-7
Hampshire
Demotion is almost a certainty after winning one game this season. Made it to the semi-finals in the CA Cup and beat Queensland to do it. 1-8
Division TWO
Tamil Nadu
Have a two game break on third place so they should be promoted, possibly the team that could get the double in years to come. 7-2
South Australia
Also have a two game break up the top but could still not be promoted, have looked shaky in a few of their wins. 7-2
Somerset
Were top of the division a while back, yet since a shock loss to Tasmania they have looked a worse team. Even though third they are only two games out of 7th and relagation. 5-4
Worcestershire
The quiet worker of the league, have won four games but hasn't turned head in doing it. 4-5
Kent
Have played well at time and poorly at others, if they could find a happy medium they could be a force in seasons to come. 4-5
Northern Districts
Came out of relagation lately and could be set to go back in, with a huge game against bottom placed Tasmania. 4-5
Glamorgan
Could have been a real contender but player performances have been at lowest point for a while. 3-6
Tasmania
Although tipped to be favorites this season they have really, really sucked. Poor form from Ponting has caused this team to almost a certain trip to the "I can't believe it a division plate" next season. Must win four of final five games. 2-7
