I think we are going to bat, not heard ANYTHING about a follow-on

What would you do if you were making the decision? I think I'd enforce it.

From Solent Sport :

#hantscricket have not enforced the follow-on v Glamorgan

STUPID on so many levels, im going to hang myself if we f*ck this up.

Smith needs atleast 2 runs to guarantee an average of 50 for the season.

Enforce it, we can't be tired from 53 overs.

If Wood and Coles need a rest, then Ervine can take the new ball. Tahir/Dawson and Smith can bowl spin. Weather could be a big problem...we are so dumb.

I think Benks/Adams must have it in their heads that Tahir will bowl them out single handed without conceding a run, so it doesn't matter.

Bit of a gamble but I guess we'll have them in again for two sessions tomorrow.

Yes, think you'd have won by an innings. Should still be a formality as long as the weather doesn't ruin things.

Weather forecast currently suggesting rain Thursday night and Friday morning so I guess they're hoping for at least a session and a half on Friday if required.

If there is rain I would have thought with Cardiff being a test ground it will have some decent drainage.

It's time to hold our nerve.

We're going to look pretty stupid if Hants batting is as poor as it was yesterday & Vince & Ervine can't rescue them! Glamorgan + possible bad weather = squeaky bum time on Friday!

It was never going to be straight forward was it. Gonna put us all through the nerve wringer no doubt.

Hants lead by 200 with 10 wickets standing.

If we have them 7/8 down at 5.30 pm tomorrow, can we ask for an extra half hour like in a test match?

I'm pretty certain either captain can request the extra half-hour or is it just the bowling captain?

Either captain can ask for it.

Just been looking at a few different weather forecasts. The worst one rain wise appears to be the bbc. The met office is suggesting that Friday will be an ok day with possibly a bit of rain early morning then brightening. I guess Benks has been studying all the charts as well and has come to the conclusion that we should have enough time left in the game to not enforce the follow on.
