2014 Hampshire Thread

The Carribean PL starts on 11 July. Ajmal will be playing for Antigua, who play on the opening day. The final is on 16 August (with Antigua last group game being 9 August).

Ajmal will therefore miss Worcs' CC matches at home to Leicester and away to Gloucs. If Antigua make the final, we will also miss their home game against Gloucs. In addition to that he'll miss the end of the t20 group stage, and the vast majority of Worcs one day matches. The latter very much impacts on us, as Worcs are in our group. Our match against them (you only play each other once) is down here on 11 August. So it looks likely that he'll miss that one.

They're also going to be without Moeen for most of the summer.

Other players who will feature in the CPL who are currently playing in the t20 over here are KP, Sammy, Kevin O'Brien and Shaoib Malik. Oh, and our very own (well, not any more) Neil McKenzie.

Well my hopes of us including Shah are now dashed. It's been confirmed that he too is off to play in Caribbean Premier League.

Can't say I blame him to be honest.

Just curious mate, where/when was this confirmed as I can't find anything on it except him entering the draft?

Solent confirmed it earlier. I went through the list of players just the other day, so my impression is that it's a last minute thing.

Fourteen man squad tomorrow, the XI that drew with Surrey + Balcs and Bates who were also in that squad and Gatting has been re-added.

Kind of surprised Wood isn't in the squad, he'll probably be re-called when Kyle goes.

what an appalling performance , nothing seemed to go right from the start , right from when the umpire took half an hour to give Vince out , btw did anyone watching on Sky think it was out ?

everyone else gave their wickets away , I know it looks great when it comes off BUT how many more wickets are we going to lost this T20 with fugging reverse sweeps !!!!!!

agree that we should have kept Shah in the line up.

Still as someone mentioned earlier away quarter will be fine

to be honest I've had enough of T20 for this summer not the game but rubbish "entertainment" going on during the game , what was the point of the blooming drummers ? and as for Roary or whatever he's called know chucking tee shirts into hoards of screaming 10 year olds while thr game is going on .....................

when I was that age just watching Barry, Gordon and Trevor Jesty was enough to make me want to come back again and again

It was a tight call but probably fair. Definitely straight enough, height was maybe the consideration. Hawkeye might have had it going over the top of the stumps.

New day, new game, probably new weather, ................ come on Hampshireeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[budgetmeansbudget]

Match delayed before its even started. Warm and sunny all morning just down the road.

[SaintPowelly]

no rain here, pretty dark, but dry

[budgetmeansbudget]

From the comments on twitter it doesn't look like they'll be play very soon.

[SaintPowelly]

Proper rain here now, hopefully it means its left The Ageas Bowl.

[budgetmeansbudget]

No play before lunch and Surrey well on their way to substantial bonus points and probable victory.

[SaintPowelly]

1:10 start, Glocs win toss and bowl.

1:10 start, Glocs win toss and bowl.

Let's hope our top order all get at least double figures!

[SaintPowelly]
