Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Utter madness that in future the England ODI team will almost certainly comprise players who never play 50 over cricket other than internationals.

Guardians of the game?

my @rse!

Breath of fresh air. Even more so after putting up with Soames and, even longer, Weatherley - both of whom were clearly out of their depth.

Still exceptionally early days, but right now I don't have any fears about going into next season with him.

He'll presumably break into the white ball team next season, when the likes of Vince and Dawson are playing in the 100.

Hopefully it means we can release Mason Crane for being useless

He's still a very good white ball bowler, is Mason.

Albeit he's another who is pretty certain to get selected for the 100 so, like Rilee, we might only see him playing t20 for Hampshire going forward.

Come on boys, you're throwing this away

don't throw it away for Cripes sake

I really don't know if a match winning lead is 120, 180, or 250.

Us and Yorks are trying to get Lyon for next season.

good recovery. Thank goodness for James Vince

Abbott currently on 15/74 in the match. Existing record set in 1927 ... 16/88.

good luck trying to get the ball off him

Congratulations to Kyle Abbott. New Hampshire record for wickets in the match ....17 for 86.

If he ever bowls against Durham he'll break that record!
Apparently the best CC figures since 1925, best overall since Jim Laker and the 4th best in CC history!
What a time for it to happen to Somerset with Essex certain to beat Surrey barring a storm of bibical proportions!

Not bad Kyle, not bad.

All the talk about the Somerset-Essex shout-out for 1st next week. But if Kent beat Yorks today/tomorrow - which it looks like they will - then we have a Kent-Hants shoot-out for 3rd place. That's where the drama is really at.

Win, lose or draw next week, it's been our best red ball season for a decade. Who knows how different it could have been - both in the Championship, and the one-day final - if Vince and Dawson hadn't been carrying the drinks for England for weeks on end.

that'll do, pig... that'll do

excellent result for Hants and for cricket too

I don't want to see Somerset fiddle their way to a first title. I'm always happy to see someone pip them to the post. Today's loss has dealt them a severe blow
