2014 Hampshire Thread

It's a slightly strange Derby batting line-up. Their top four has to be one of the best in the division, but beyond that it's just all bits and pieces. A few early wickets from Tommo and Abbott when we bowl, and yes 250 might be a tough ask for them.

Pretty much their only decent innings of the season so far was against us at Derby. That was a decent start followed by a collapse and then the tail wagged a bit. Thankfully no Chanderpaul this time around, does North usually do well against us, i can't remember?

Nice little 50 partnership now.

25 overs to score 92 runs.

Walk in the park if Ervine and Coles face a lot of those overs. A little more difficult if Bates does.

332/7 at Stumps...Bates 27*

Mixed day.

264 runs @ 33.00 with 2 fifties from 9 innings and a top score of 70.

Adam Wheater said last night that the dressing room was really happy at stumps, obviously 350 is the target, but if they can get to 380, it will be a great score.

Steady progress this morning, no further wickets lost yet, fifth batting point looking very unlikely but a score of 400+ looking possible.

Fifty for Bates, should ensure Gatting is dropped for Carberry.

[SaintPowelly]

31 off 4 was doable, feel abit disappointed

[budgetmeansbudget]

Abbott pretty subdued. Must have been told to accumulate as many runs as possible without taking risks.

WASTING TIME

Looks like a bowlers day.
