Maybe Adams is considering stepping down next season, testing someone else.

I think just a nice gesture (in a meaningless match) to show how much the club is behind Carbs - hopefully will get him feeling really positive for Sat.

[BringBackJesty]

so who is the mysterious international spinner that is signing this week that Kevin James was going on about ?

a bit concerned with what he also said about Shah not playing on Saturday.

if this is true , how do we line up ?

1 Carberry
2 Adams
3 Vince
4 Wheater
5 Slug
6 Smith
7 Coles
8 Wood
9 Dawson
10 Bates
11 Briggs

actually having written that down it doesn't look too bad , it does mean we have to use Slug if any of the other bowlers get a bit tap.

Apparently Shah now confirmed! Can't think who the spinner is - presumably Tahir committed with SA? Warney? Ha ha! Not great planning by the Hants team not to have any overseas players when the allowance is two! Hoping Anderson + Bulter won't play for Lancs now they are in the England one day squad.

Does this count as getting Tahir right?!

[Hampshire]

Presumably from the XI listed above Shah will come in for Bates, anyone think we'll go for another seamer perhaps due to th3e extreme depth of the batting?

[SaintPowelly]

I don't get why we have rested Wood after 1 LVCC game, yet Coles who has played all games except 1 T20 ( I think ), bowls himself into the ground. Odd

[mark the hawk]

maybe because he's just played his first 4 day game since his knee op ?

oh and well done Jesters

if you come and find me saturday i'll get you a beer

[SaintPowelly]

Apparently Shah doesn't arrive until Saturday, would rather we flew in Macca.

[SaintPowelly]

Yorkshire have won the toss and they have elected to field first.

[SaintPowelly]

Carbs first game as captain, and 2nd ball duck.

[Hampshire]

Can we just forfeit the match... Not sure it's going to help us much for Saturday.

[SaintPowelly]

good RR, poor start though.

I'm sure he's missed at least one four day game. Presumably when Balcombe played.

But yes, it's because of Wood's knee operation.

White has confirmed that they expect Smith to be fine for Saturday. So the QF team, but with Shah and Dwason in for the two overseas guys.

[SaintPowelly]

Tom Barber on a hat-trick.

Tom Barber on a hat-trick.

Good to see at least a young pace bowler doing well.

[Hampshire]

Forecast has just changed for Saturday to allow it to rain for the whole of our semi only...
