2014 Hampshire Thread

Smith gone, 32/5

[Centuryclub]

The Hampshire waggon is not just off the rails, it's overturned & on fire!
It's been going ****-up for some weeks now - morale must be rock bottom & the innings by Carbs (senior batsman) was a disgrace.

We haven't seen the pitch yet

Pitch inspectors will be on their way.

Not much help to us when we are desperate for bonus points though.

Dawson was caught at mid-on, which doesn't help either.

Like I said, can't work out why we batted on an outground that rained all day y/day.

They'd probably be 60/0 had we put them in.

Adams did - so why did we bat first? Today's performance could easily be described as one of those things that happen occasionally to even great teams - even Australia & West Indies at their best had awful starts - but this latest effort is part of an alarmingly poor runs of results, decisions & personal performances.

We've only got 3 days for this match but Hants are batting (except for Carbs!) as if they believe the Handbook & various Saturday papers that had the Essex match down as a T20!

Carberry and Vince for England.

Yes, surely Adams with his experience, would be able to spot a dodgy pitch. I'm putting it down to poor batting and most of the side being out of form.

At least the game is advancing quickly after we lost day one!

[SaintPowelly]

Good news is, Leicester are doing well against Worcs, although they are only ever 10 balls away from being all out.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Fifty partnership, at least Ervine and Wheater are finding it relatively easy to bat so far. Maybe it was a new ball thing.

[budgetmeansbudget]

I spoke too soon, Ervine out. I think we can put Tomlinson in the same bracket as Jimmy Anderson batting wise. Both had maiden fifties recently. Good omen maybe.

[SaintPowelly]

97/7 with Coles gone...should of picked Maxwell.
