First time for two seasons apparently that we've picked up maximum batting points.

In game one. In April. Against Essex.

After being put in, too.

[SaintPowelly]

McManus ( in for an injured Alsop) and Wetherley both dropped catches in last few minutes

[st_brendy]

First baller. Not unthinkable that Essex could be batting again before tea.

[SaintPowelly]

3 down, 6 to go

[captaincolly]

A totally dominant performance against a strong Essex side.

If everyone is up for it, we have a strong team (albeit a lack of depth) a pace attack of Barker, Berg, Abbott and Fidel is frightening. Not sure anyone on the circuit is quicker than Fidel and no-one is smarter/better than Kyle.

Vince and Northeast both have points to prove for slightly different reasons, so could/should be interesting to watch.

Yep. Should be a very competitive division this year. Hard to call although Surrey will take some stopping.

Hi All. Just tuning into the new season. Good start to the season (with a feeling of deja vu from last year!) .

Essex are a much better side than Worcs who ended up rock bottom.

Need a wicket, this Bopara Harmer partnership is getting annoying.

Shambolic performance from us so far with bat and ball Porter set the tone with a wayward opening spell and has leaked runs, Good fightback this morning but too little too late and a dreadful opening round defeat on the way

[budgetmeansbudget]

30 overs without a wicket.

Won't be long before we'll have to factor in batting again to win.

[haggishants]

Abbott has lost his mojo with the new ball! At this rate they'll be level before tea.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Abbott nicks out Bopara, phew.

[haggishants]

Last 4 wickets for 5 runs.
Well done Hampshire.

Dire! Absolutely dire

Credit to Hampshire but a shocker from us really was!
