Even if Hertfordshire had won, it would not have deprived Northamptonshire of the Championship title, as the latter would still have remained ahead of Durham in the Table, with a percentage of 63.88 compared to Durham’s 62.50. This was the second match due to be played by Hertfordshire that had been abandoned, the other fixture being against Dorset at Poole in July.
