2014 Hampshire Thread

[Centuryclub]

Come on Hampshire!
A win is a win is a win but hopefully it'll be a good clean win (if we make it).
The Solent commenatators have been very quiet (unless I've missed it) about the behaviour of certain players, especially Wheater & Coles, but the cricket press has certainly not & one comment was that it was Warne-like at its worst!

Mind you England could do with a bit more steel in limited overs cricket!

A win before tea would be nice - a Notts type collapse (except for Read as usual) would suit me very nicely.

Thought the BBC cricket updates had frozen again as they have regularly done this season. Then I realised it was lunch!

[budgetmeansbudget]

Should have this wrapped up soon !

I might be wrong but didn't Leics have a substantial seventh wicket partnership in the second innings of their last game?

Taylor and Naik scored 85* in 116 balls to deny Surrey.

Cobb and Naik would probably be a stronger combination. Best to stay pessimistic I reckon until the game is won!

Whats been occurring?

I only realised the other day that Hants had banned Wheater for 2 games, what were the reasons?

Hants didn't ban him, the ECB did, for abusing an umpire...he collect 6 points ( or whatever the amount is )

Oh right, i only read ban, it didn't give any reasons or who had done the banning, so I assumed it was Hants.

Derby doing ok against Worcs at the mo, that game is looking like a draw. Glam hanging in against Kent, Kent still have a chance of a win if they can knock Glams last 4 wickets out within an hour or so after lunch.

Coles has also been a naughty boy apparently.The Cricket Paper a couple of weeks ago had a letter from a former player/umpire/groundsman/etc who said the attitude of Coles against Fabian Cowdrey (?) after Coles had dismissed him was the worst provocation/behaviour he had ever seen in 60 years in the game.
I read somewhere else that Coles & Kent did not part on good terms?

I guess the name Cowdrey is the epitome of Kent cricket and if Coles didn't leave on good terms with Kent cricket he would be a most likely candidate for abuse. Perhaps something along the lines of it doesn't matter how good you are if your names Cowdrey you play for Kent.

Cheers Haggis, yes you're right I should have looked on the Hants website myself!

Also if your name's Cowdrey you play for England! Still plenty of time for Fabian!
Is he the son of Chris who played for England & was briefly captain & it turned out that he was the godson of Peter May who was Chair of Selectors. Although to be fair Chris was dropped which reportedly caused a hugh ruction (ooh missus!) between him & May who died not very long afterwards in his 60's I belive.
Incidentally the oldest ever test cricketer died yesterday aged 103 - the last test player to have played test cricket before WW2! He was a South African who played in the famous 10 day test that only ended as England had to catch the boat home!
There was also a Graeme or Godwin Cowdrey? (What's wrong with names like Bert, Fred or Bob?)

Its no secret Coles and Wheater have attitude problems, particularly Coles. But so does Ben Stokes and it hasn't stopped him playing for England.

[Durhamfootman]

good turnaround, this. Should win from here

Looked a nailed on draw before play today

7 down, 3rd for Coles.
