156 all out - now it is up to our batters to show the pitch is OK by getting a big lead.

Gret result - very encouraging.

Good report - but I am quite happy for us to continue to be the under dogs for as long as possible. I still think we will surprise a lot of pundits this year.

OMG - we're top! Didn't think i would see us top of any table this year. Well done Ervine, well done dawson, well done Hampshire!

Was this one of the games in which he was so very nervous that both Marshall and Greenidge were visibly encouraging him while he was batting??

Hampshire have made 228 for 6 off their 40 overs - not bad. Ervine carried his bat on 103 -not bad either!

Well I have been saying this is what we want - some young players who can run with and pass the ball. I was appalled last season with some of what i saw - old cloggers united. This season let's play football and see where we get - I think we will surprise a lot of people - including ourselves!

Sounds like they played really well - we're on the way.

Blackstock has scored again for QPR - he's one we let slip through our fingers thanks to managerial incompetence.

So it seem:cool:s.

I am not optimistic about today - which is normally a good omen.

Good news - if it happens - but can they afford the £8,000 a week? We can't!

It's looking very tight - but better than it was.

What a performance by Pietersen - even by his own exceptional standards. And those who said he shouldn't be captain now say ...??

28 for 1 - Adams fail again.

Abusing players always has the same effect - it motivates them! But football fans aren't the brightest group on the planet ... so they do it all the same!

That's the best we can hope for - but this is Hampshire you know!

They are now over 100 ahead - we could lose this if we're not careful.

Well we're letting them get away - the bowling must be dreadful or is it lots more dropped catches?

260 or so for 6 - come on, we need those bonus points!

Well I certainly haven't given up - we've only played two matches against two of the best sides! I am reserving judgement until October/November. I still think we will do well this season despite all the pessimists on here.

Ha ha - but what a shame it isn't our own S. John.

I woudl start with mroe or less the same players - maybe put John on the bench and bring him on later. I would have another stirker on the bench, and maybe make some use of BWP and/or Dyer.

Zummerzet are 41 for 0 after 10 - rain stopped play!

316 all out - not too bad.
