You and so many others are fucking deluded and not particularly bright to succeed in the PL we need decent players how many do we have three or four and results have not improved since Martin left

Yes you are right he got us promoted only to find the club was not able to get in a few decent players

He bowled 5 overs for 20 in the second innings and is having problems adjusting to the Duke Ball

But only two Hampshire born Very luckly to have seen 1959: RE Marshall & D Shackleton; 1969: BA Richards; 1974: PJ Sainsbury; 1975: AME Roberts; 1977: CG Greenidge; 1983: TE Jesty & MD Marshall; 1984: CL Smith; 1990: RA Smith; 2006: KP Pietersen; 2025: LA Dawson. With Barry Anderson and Malcolm Marshall the best Greenidge Richards R E Marshall RA Smith Pietersen Jesty Aymes Sainsbury M D Marshall Roberts Shackleton would be hell of a team

England cricket trio Gus Atkinson, Jamie Smith and Sophie Ecclestone have been named among Wisden’s Cricketers of the Year, the prestigious annual prize awarded to top performers in the English summer. County stars Liam Dawson and Dan Worrall complete the five-strong list, an honour bestowed in the almanack since 1889 and which cricketers can only win once in their career.

Clearly MLG you are wrong the point the poster is making is that the club has been buying young players players with a view to selling tham at a profit not to enhance the team like in the 1960s 1970s and 1980s when the team bought experienced players like David Webb Campbell Forsyth Ron Davies John McGrath Jimmy Gabriel Jimmy Melia etc etc

NO

Around 20 minutes plus stoppages left. Southampton just don't look like scoring I do not really care is that wrong Hampshire doing OK as usual

I have a young brother who is sixteen years younger than me and my dad and I both right handers made him into a successful lefthander because of the amount of balls you get on their leg stump. He still plays today for Berkshire over Sixties

I suggest you become a politician as you are spouting nonsense we have a really poor squad of players probably the worst I have seen whilst we have been in the top flight in the last 60 years

Clearly SR have not been good but they did buy a team with below average PL players after a number of years of a lack of investment

Any team with top class players would do well whatever manager we had

I am quite happy to have Abbott in at No 11 Hampshire now 299 for 5 with ten overs left

I agree unlike the Saints we have some decent young players and old hands Abbott Dawson Stoneman Brown and Gubbens and I would be surprised if we will get relegated for sometime Our recruitment policy has been good for sometime together with letting young players develop probably Albert Middleton and Prest will have good seasons

Yes I agree especially as our two best batters from last season Vince and Gubbins did not score many What is the situation with Fuller and Barker
