Gloucester Saint

Not least when the guy at the other end 75* and having scored nearly 200 runs in the day.

Yes, they’ve been the best side in the whole competition this year but another Hampshire choke on top of the two stupid throwaways in the One Day Cup finals when well on top. Weak mentality.

Fuck!

He knows what he needs to do then.

We were getting back into it, possibly on top, there and see them worrying. Idiotic, same brain farts we’ve seen in the One Day Cup finals repeatedly.

Neither of our overseas players have turned up today really, whereas at least McSweeney made some runs in their innings and Lynn in their SF.

That nearly skidded onto bowl Cartwright. Welcome boundary. Weatherley 50 again keeping Hampshire alive. Big trouble now. Bit thick. Best to see James Sales off. Come on Dawse, help Weatherley here.

Can you post that this game is over and start putting Northants ribbons on the 🏆? Need to try something different!

Takes him a few to get in but yes, we need to play catch up on the rate. Weatherley 6 will help. Almost missed it with Sky’s bloody adverts.

Fuck - Vince smashes one up in the air and caught. Mayes needed that streaky boundary but I’m glad he’s now out - well out of his depth. Get the main batters in. No panic yet, but rate rising and Sales pick of their bowlers. Hits the pitch well.

Vince given Ibw, reviewed. Too high? Phew! Glue feet here, these boys aren’t quick, albeit there’s a hint of movement.

He’s been very poor overall this year. Not a fatal blow as long as Weatherley and Vince can build a partnership here.

Gettable total but 170 won’t be easy under lights at the end. Northants stronger suit is their batting but parsimonious with the ball.

Daft ball from Currie, hope that doesn’t prove fatal later. But that’s just rude James Vince! What a one handed catch falling backwards.

First ever 5 for in a Blast final. Darren Gough-like spell. Superb.
