Please can we have a recap, and how many of each are outstanding? It's getting very confusing (at least in my simple mind)

I'll echo that. Twenty questions, potentially 50 or so correct answers to be found, maybe more!

[Mcr Warrior]

Since 1890, the Cricket County Championship has been shared between the top two county teams that year, on three separate occasions.

In which three years/seasons did this happen?

 

[SuspectUsual]

There was one in the 70s. Maybe 1978? Guessing based on who was good at that time, Middlesex and Essex?

Middlesex involved, but not 1978.

 

[MotCO]

Middlesex involved, but not 1978.

Are we looking for teams or just the years? If teams, can I suggest it was Surrey and Middlesex in 1977?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Just the years as per post #19,556 , and 1977 is correct. The two teams that were joint top that year were Kent and Middlesex. That leaves two more years to find...
