2001 Norwich Union League
The 2001 Norwich Union League season was a 45 over English county cricket competition; colloquially known as the Sunday League, it featured many mid-week floodlit matches. It was contested through two divisions: Division One and Division Two. Each team played all the others in their division both home and away. The top three teams from Division Two were promoted to the first division for the 2002 season, while the bottom three sides from Division One were relegated. All eighteen counties retained the nicknames from the previous season.[3]

gollark: It manages to compensate for the horrible design of my vehicles.
gollark: I'm somewhat embarrased to admit that I generally just make mechjeb do my takeoffs.
gollark: (Possibly <#379850960140500993> now)
gollark: Isn't automatically hitting flies going to be hard? Can servos move fast enough to aim or whatever? Can you automatically track flies?
gollark: I'm sort of interested in 3D printing, but don't really have much of a use for it (I don't really have any other sort of workshoppy stuff to complement it or things to print), or the money. It does seem to be getting cheaper and more useful as time goes on (more prints being available etc.) so who knows.
