  They may not do us a favour but despite the fact they are no longer in the 
race
  they're not going to set out to throw the game away. 
  Last weeks game was a reasonable decision - they where still in with a chance
  for the title, a draw and 3 points was no good so it was worth taking the 
chance
  of declaring and leaving a gettable target which Notts would chace and could
  have been skittled out (after all their form is pretty dodgy at the moment) 
instead
  of just setting for a draw. 
  If Yorkshire had been in that position it wouldn't have surpriszed me them 
taking
  the same decision.

  I reckon we could well finish above Notts. The problem is going to be Somerset
  and if Durham can prevent them winning ...
