2014 Hampshire Thread

Interesting to hear that we originally targeted Siddle as our overseas player, and thought we had him (Notts obviously ended up beating us too him though).

Would explain while we took a while in announcing someone. Abbott was evidentially, at best, our second choice. I'm not complaining though.

Carberry dropped by Kinger in the slips.

[SaintPowelly]

A ( much needed ) 50 for Carbs, off 90 balls 10 fours.

98/1, Daws 18*

[SaintPowelly]

I was simply stating that if they're not even batting Wheater at 7, then I can hardly see them batting Bates at 7.

Benks is on record as saying that Gatting impressed him in pre-season, if that hadn't of been the case, there would of been no issue with Wheater at 7, and therefore I don't see an issue arising with Bates coming in at 7, unless we promote Coles to 7 and Bates at 8, I can't see Gatting keeping his spot at all.

Thank goodness for that, MUCH happier with Abbott ( and that was the case before this weeks games )

Well I give thanks every day that I was born just a few miles to the east of the Sussex Brewery in Emsworth, but I do hope Joe turns it round and does well for Hampshire this year. He's Sussex born and bred so he's one of us no matter what, (unless he signs for you know who one day, not likely)

Vince is one of ours to...cuckfield.

Dawson out for 25, Vince joins Carbs

[SaintPowelly]

20 runs added in 11 balls since Daws got out, looks like these 2 want to end it in a hurry.

[Hampshire]

Vince desperate for a 50 for more recognition perhaps ? Carbs wants the 100?

[st_brendy]

Won't see many quicker four day 50s than that from Vince. 31 balls.

[st_brendy]

Apparently it doesn't matter what the format is, these two just bat so well together.

[Hampshire]

Vince you stole Carberrys ton I think...

Edit : Or not!

[st_brendy]

Game over. Last two balls both hit for 6 by Carberry to bring up his 100, and the win.

Fantastic

[st_brendy]

That partnership was 101* off just 10.2 overs. Christ.

[Hampshire]

Anyone know where to find the record for the quickest 100 partnership in FC cricket :O. That's better than we usually do in T20's...

2008 was the last time we took maximum points from an away game.

2008!
