Surrey have been relegated to the County Championship second division after a grim campaign in which they have so far failed to win a single game. A meeting of the Surrey Cricket Management Board on Monday is now expected to confirm the departure of manager Alan Butcher, assistant Nadeem Shahid and bowling coach Geoff Arnold. The Third Umpire blog has a review of Surrey's season, in which it is written:
It is axiomatic that Surrey are a club in need of big changes, with the appointment of Graham Thorpe as batting coach appearing a shrewd start. But years of muddled thinking and short-termism will not be easy to rectify, especially with so many serial under-performers still contracted.
