chrisobee Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Not looking good, Hants only managed 131/7 and only then after an excellent 8th wicket stand between Dimi and Cork. At one point we were 42-6 ! Needs something really special from the bowlers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Started well, and if Cork had held onto a tough one in the slips to get rid of Stevens we'd have had a very good chance. The main deciding factor was the two overs from Ervine and one from Dawson which went for a combined 34 runs. The other bowlers bowled pretty well.

saint_stevo Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 why do they continue to give Ervine the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 why do they continue to give Ervine the ball? The theory is that because Mascarenhas bowls at the same sort of pace with a great deal of success, Ervine should be able to do the same. Clearly doesn't work in practice because Ervine just isn't consistent enough. As a batsman, you know that you're going to get at least one full toss or short-pitched long-hop from him that you'll be able to hit over the ropes. Also, it doesn't help that Dawson's been woefully short of form in recent weeks, hence being dropped from the County Championship side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
